Nikon AF-S NIKKOR f/1.8G Lens - 50 mm

Q: nikon 50mm f/1.8g vs. nikon 50mm f/1.4g... which one?

The 1.8G is newer and honestly, based on reviews, is the better lens and is way cheaper. The difference is 2/3 of a stop from 1.8 to 1.4. Unless you do a lot of dimly to dark lit photography and need a fast shutter speed, then go with the 1.4. Otherwise the 1.4 is the better bang for the buck IMHO.

Q: Could you comment on the merits of 50mm F 1.8 vs. 85 mm F 1.8 for portrait photography much of which will just be shot in the home on a D7100.

Either lense is fine for portrait use though, but I prefer to keep portraits to around 50-85mm so on my aps-c sensor body it left me with one choice. A fx lens on a dx body has a focal length of 1.5x the rating. So a 50mm on a D7100 comes out to a 75mm, and the 85mm lens acts like a 127.rmm lens. For this reason I chose the 50mm F1.8 lens. It has nice bokeh and since the length isn't too long the portrait image still has some depth and isn't flattened.

Q: Will the autofocus work on 50mm f/1.8G AF-S Nikkor lens for the D3200?

Yes, the auto-focus will work. But remember this is an FX lens. Your DX D3200 camera will register it as a 75mm lens rather than a 50mm lens.

Q: Will it autofocus on D5300?

I have the D5100... I would only be assuming it would focus on the d5300.

4.8/5
