Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 58mm f/ 1.4G

Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 58mm f/1.4G

Exclusive 58mm focal length FX format prime lens with large f/1.4 aperture.

With excellent results at maximum aperture, this lens pushes the boundaries of image quality.
It's a really great lens, with the same focal length as Nikon's famous Noct-NIKKOR lenses - 58mm, and a completely new optical design that ensures incredible sharpness, contrast and resolution.

The AF-S NIKKOR 58mm f/1.4G lens is simply irreplaceable when shooting night scenes with point-shaped light sources such as city lights: in the resulting frame, they look like regular round dots scattered throughout the area. Due to the extremely even blur without any rough lines, this lens is definitely worth choosing for portrait photography as well.

• A fast FX-format prime lens with a maximum aperture of f/1.4 and a focal length of 58mm (87mm when used with a Nikon DX-format SLR). It stands out for its particularly wide viewing angle. An ideal choice for shooting night scenes and portraits.
• Flawless brightness. Due to the exceptional rotation capability, every image element is reproduced in an extremely high-resolution photo. The probability of scattered flashes is effectively reduced, so it is possible to reproduce point-shaped light sources with high quality - they look like regular round dots even at the edges of the image.
• Extremely Smooth Blur. The blurring of the image increases steadily as you move away from the sharp focus point, avoiding harsh lines. The created high-resolution images convey the impression of even greater depth.
• Wide viewing angle. Subjects appear sharp even when shooting at the maximum aperture value of f/1.4. Particularly contrasting images of distant or dimly lit objects can be created without reducing the aperture value.
• Flawless quality from one frame to the other. Adjustable light attenuation at the edges of the frame does not compromise sharpness throughout the frame. Subjects in the corners of the frame will be bright and clear even if you shoot at the maximum aperture value and with unlimited focus.
• Famous NIKKOR quality. Nanometer crystal coating effectively reduces image ghosting and flare, resulting in sharper and more contrasty images. Nikon Silent Wave Motor (SWM) makes autofocus smooth and quiet
• Detachable cover and soft case included.
