This is one lens that I would like to get - the Nikon AF-S Nikkor 50mm f/1.4G - if you are wondering why your photos arent that sharp enough when taking potrait, this lens will make all your dream come true.

I went to J-One yesterday morning and a guy bought the equivalent version of this but Sigma - the lens is huge - 72mm (more light) and bokehness is just brilliant.

I own a D40 so in order for my camera to AF (Auto Focus) with the lens - it has to be an AF-S model. J-One sells it at around RM1,700 but heard that price will increase to RM1,900 due to the 10-15% increase in pricing - because of the strong YEN.
This new lens’ maximum aperture of f/1.4 allows it to have a brighter viewfinder and a beautiful background blur with shallow depth-of-field when shooting wide open.

Any 50mm f/1.4 prime lens is considered by advanced amateurs and professional photographers to be an essential focal length that should be part of their camera bag’s content. The angle-of-view of a 50 mm lens closely replicates the visual perspective of the human eye when used with an FX-format DSLR.

This lens is ideal for travel, event, environmental and general photography in a wide variety of conditions, but is at its best when used for low-light shooting.

It is in my wish list and should be in yours too.
