Nikkor-S 5.8 cm f/1.4 vs. Nikkor AF-S 50 mm f/1.4G Comparison!
Nikkor-S 5.8 cm f/1.4 vs. Nikkor AF-S 50 mm f/1.4G
This is total win- the guys at LensTip have made a detailed comparison between the OLD Nikkor-S 5.8 cm f/1.4 (58mm f/1.4) and the new Nikkor AF-S 50 mm f/1.4G as used on the D3.
What’s not surprising is that the modern lens is better. What IS surprising is that the ancient lens gets very, very close to the new lens’ performance in resolution once you’re at f/8 or above and that the old lens is a good deal better with CA.
Very fascinating article!
