Nikon 50 f/1.4 Review

“One of the best lens for portrait and low light photography”

I don’t even know where to start. This lens produces sharp pictures and great color and contrast. This lens is perfect for low light and/or action/sport photography (as this lens is famous for being one of the fastest lens together with its brother 50mm f/1.8). [...]
