The 'Unthrifty Fifty(eight)' - (Nikon lens p**n content).

Not mine, but I sure wish it was ...

Linky ...

What kind of DOF would this baby yield, one asks oneself ? What could it do at ISO 6,400 on a D700 in a dimly-lit room, come to that!? Capture a housefly in motion, I shouldn't wonder .

It's a lot of money for not a lot of lens, however you look at it

Exactly what I was thinking.

But just dream for a second... you were dead set on buying a nifty fifty... and then someone handed you a few million quid...

Hmm looks okay I guess just a bit slow.

Leica M 50mm f0.95 is more flexible

£7200 on a 50mm lens? F0.95.... Crazy!

Who could warrant paying that for it?
Surely the difference cant be worth all that?

And they're expecting stock in Jan 2010. Now's the time to order one!

Seriously though, that is a toy and half (for those who can afford it) .

Not sure I would pay nearly 6 times the price of a zeiss 50mm f1.4 planar, for 1/3 of a stop more light and the lens coating. Not doing so means I could buy another 3 zeiss lenses, I know what I would do.

 

[Frenzied Dwarf]

If i had millions yes i would just for the sheer fact i could have a play and not care about the cost

Read what Ken Rockwell says about the Noct - there's an interesting anecdote.

At least the postage is free. Makes it a bargain

 

[Blue Eagle]

Yikes....you could put a canon 50mm f/1.2 on a 5D for less....

 

[Hairyduck]

You can put a 50mm f1.2 on a Nikon for less too

Saying that I hardly ever use mine as it's not exactly the sharpest lens they ever made

I have owned or used the Carl Zeiss Contax 50/1.4, the AF-Nikkor 50/1.4, the Canon EF 50/1.4, the Leica R 50/1.4 (the old one with the 55mm filter thread), a Yashica 50/1.4, the Leica M 50/1.4, and the Voigtlander Nokton 50/1.5. For all-around image quality in real pictures, the Pentax 50/1.4 is my favorite of them all. The FA 50/1.7 is a very good lens. But the Pentax FA 50/1.4 is a great lens. - Mike Johnston
