Setting new standards for smooth bokeh This superb lens produces images with beautiful depth and smooth bokeh. Its three-dimensional high fidelity lens improves contrast and resolution at the focal plane while achieving a gradual transition in bokeh. Halos around out-of-focus objects are eliminated for a more natural blur. With its manual focus ring, you can fine-tune the focus to achieve the desired degree of detail without overly sharpening your image. Outstanding sharpness at infinity The AF-S NIKKOR 58mm f1.4G delivers amazingly clear reproduction throughout the frame, including peripheral areas. This allows you to shoot gorgeous images at infinity even when using maximum aperture and faster shutter speeds. With its absolute precision and control, the AF-S NIKKOR 58mm f1.4G is perfect for highly detailed landscapes and architecture. Stunning details to the very edge The extraordinary craftsmanship of the lens takes full advantage of your camera’s resolution. With minimal lens aberration, minute details at the edge of frame are captured with unparalleled clarity so you never need to crop your images. This remarkable resolving power unleashes the full potential of high-performance DSLRs such as the D800. Reduced light falloff for brilliant shots at wide aperture Even at maximum aperture, light falloff at the edge of frame (also known as vignetting) is minimised. This ensures perfect exposure across the image – giving a brighter, more natural impression without the need for software lens correction.
