This is the greatest street photography lens that doesn't have the name Leica written on it. Just spectacular results. Produced gorgeous images with creamy bokeh. Coupled with the D800/810- Wow! Focus is superb. 1.2 w/manual focus engenders serious creativity.

It is wonderful that Nikon still makes simple, robust, all-manual lenses. Not only are they a pleasure to feel and hold, they are a pleasure to use.The 50mm Ai-S f/1.2 Ai-S not only takes great portraits and is superb for general photography, but you can reverse it (using the Nikon Nikon BR-2A...

A lens with a dual personality : At 1.2-1.4, you get a sharp center but the whole pic looks veiled and dreamy. I could get "underwater" rendering without ever getting wet. From f/2, it is as sharp as any modern 50mm lens, and flares reasonably.

  Sharpness from f/2, bokeh

  High barrel distortion, some CA

The bokeh is odd-shaped (crooked ovals) and the lens has tons of flare, which I'm unaccustomed to in my other fast Nikkor primes (85mm f/1.4 D, for example). But I kept it because it's a gorgeously made precision instrument.

My first 50 was canon 1.4 which was okay. I, however, wanted a better build and optical quality. It is important for me lenses "feel" right because i am tactile person (lack of AF is not a concern).

  nice bokeh (to my taste), solid build, wide aperture, very sharp stopped down, reasonable sharpness wide open with a dreamy effect, light and compact

I am using this Nikon 50mm f1.2 on my Nikon D750 and the results are just amazing. The quality of the optics, the bokeh quality, the low light performance and the overall quality are really pleasing.

This is a semi-exotic lens, by all accounts. A 50mm that opens to f/1.2 has never been ordinary and this one is no exception.At f/1.2 and close distances depth of field is razor thin and there is a lovely dreaminess to the rendering, while the center remains extremely sharp.
