Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 58mm f/1.4G

Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 58mm f/1.4G

An exceptional 58mm focal length FX-format prime lens with a large f/1.4 aperture. With excellent results at maximum aperture, this lens pushes the boundaries of image quality. This is a truly excellent lens, with a focal length similar to Nikon's famous Noct-NIKKOR lenses - 58mm, and a completely new optical design that delivers incredible sharpness, contrast and resolution. The AF-S NIKKOR 58mm f/1.4G is simply irreplaceable for night shots with point-shaped light sources, such as city lights: they appear as regular, round dots scattered throughout the frame. The extremely smooth blur without any harsh lines makes this lens a real choice for portraits as well.

• Fast FX-format prime lens with a maximum aperture of f/1.4 and a focal length of 58mm(87mm when used with Nikon DX-format SLRs). Features an ultra-wide angle of view. Ideal for shooting night scenes and portraits.
• Impeccable brightness.Thanks to the unique rotation capability, each pixel is reproduced in an ultra-high-resolution image. The possibility of scattered flashes is effectively reduced, so point-shaped light sources can be reproduced with high quality - they appear as regular round dots even at the edges of the image.
• Extremely smooth blending.The blurring of the image increases gradually as you move away from the sharp focus point, preventing harsh lines. The resulting high-resolution images convey an even greater sense of depth.
• Wide viewing angle.Subjects appear sharp even when shooting at the maximum aperture of f/1.4. High-contrast images of distant or poorly lit subjects can be created without having to stop down the aperture.
• Impeccable quality from one edge of the frame to the next.Adjustable light attenuation at the edges of the frame ensures that the sharpness across the entire frame is not compromised. Subjects in the corners of the frame will be sharp and clear even when shooting at maximum aperture and with unlimited focus.
• Famous NIKKOR quality.Nano Crystal Coat effectively reduces ghosting and flare for sharper, more contrasty images. Nikon's Silent Wave Motor (SWM) delivers smooth, quiet autofocus
• Removable cover and soft cover includedcase.
