The Nikon AF Nikkor 50mm f/1.4D Lens is one of the most widely used autofocus lenses in all of photography. It delivers distortion-free, high-contrast images with superb resolution and color rendition. With a maximum aperture of f/1.4 it is fast enough for shooting in just about any type of light. Weighing only 9.0 oz (255.1 g), it is easy to carry with you. This is an ideal first lens; perfect for full-length portraits, travel photography or any type of available-light shooting. It accepts 52mm filters.

For more accurate exposure control, the "D" lens subject distance information is transmitted from the lens to the camera body, providing 3D matrix metering and 3D multi-sensor balanced fill-flash with appropriate Nikon cameras and Speedlights. AF not supported by D40, D60, D3000 & D5000 cameras.
