Props to Nikon for releasing an interesting and affordable F1.4 lens. And at a desirable focal length at that. You cannot expect this lens to be optically great at its price but it turns out it’s more than good enough (and stopped down does turn great). Also, it has nice bokeh and video features. So this lens is a hit. We wish more camera companies would give us affordable options and elite performance options so we could choose for ourselves.
