Nikon AF-S Nikkor 58mm f/1.4G - Nikon F Mount

The AF-S Nikkor 58mm f/1.4G is a specialised prime lens designed for F-mount DSLRs, drawing inspiration from the legendary Noct-Nikkor. Rather than focusing solely on sharpness, it is engineered for exceptional bokeh and the rendering of point light sources without sagittal coma flare. This makes it a distinctive choice for night-time photography and portraits. It features Nano Crystal Coat and a Silent Wave Motor. When sourcing a used 58mm f/1.4G, examine the front element for cleaning marks, as the glass is deeply recessed but still vulnerable. Ensure the autofocus is accurate, as this lens has a very shallow depth of field. Check the barrel for any impact marks that could affect the delicate optical alignment. SDS performs a detailed test of the aperture mechanism and ensures the lens renders correctly at wide apertures.
