Product Description
A low-light powerhouse that shines in nearly any situation.
Go beyond the ordinary with the AF-S NIKKOR 58mm f/1.4G, a lens designed to
excel in low-light and nighttime applications but with characteristics you'll
enjoy for so much more. Its fast f/1.4 maximum aperture produces outstanding
evenly lit images with edge-to-edge sharpness"virtually no sagittal coma or
light falloff. Its unique design and rounded 9-blade diaphragm produce stunning
bokeh and depth of field control from f/1.4 to infinity"equally useful in
daytime portraits and nighttime cityscapes. Whether you're shooting photos or HD
video, FX or DX-format, the AF-S NIKKOR 58mm f/1.4G offers thrilling new
capabilities and inspiration.
Outstanding low-light photos and videos - Virtually no sagittal coma flare
or light falloff
When shooting photos or video in low light"especially at night"you often want
your lens aperture wide open. With many lenses, though, shooting at maximum
aperture can cause a slight distortion at the edge of your frame"points of light
render as diamond-shaped flares. The AF-S NIKKOR 58mm f/1.4G is specially
designed to combat this distortion while providing even brightness across the
frame. Capture sharp, evenly lit photos and videos, edge to edge.
Natural depth of field, beautiful bokeh - 9 rounded-blade aperture for
excellent bokeh control
The AF-S NIKKOR 58mm f/1.4G adds a dramatic sense of depth to your
compositions"both at short distances as well as long-distance landscapes. When
shooting stills of a close subject, the AF-S NIKKOR 58mm f/1.4G can achieve
beautiful bokeh with soft, natural edges that diminishes smoothly away from your
focal point. When recording HD video, use these outstanding bokeh
characteristics for interesting smooth focusing transitions and drawing
attention to your subject.
Flattering, versatile perspective - Versatile 58mm focal length
Paying homage to the acclaimed Noct Nikkor 58mm f/1.2, the 58mm focal length
falls in the sweet spot between a standard lens (50mm) and a medium telephoto
lens (85mm). On an FX-format D-SLR, it offers a natural perspective with just
enough telephoto characteristic to exaggerate depth of field. On a DX-format D-SLR,
its 87mm equivalent perspective is ideal for portraits and other medium
telephoto uses.
Nano Crystal Coat
An anti-reflective coating developed by Nikon that virtually eliminates internal
lens element reflections across a wide range of wavelengths. Nano Crystal Coat
solves ghost effects caused by red light and effectively reduces ghost and flare
caused by light entering the lens diagonally.
Aspherical Lens
A lens with a curved, non-spherical surface. Used to reduce aberrations and
enable a more compact lens size. Aspherical lenses minimize coma and other types
of lens aberrations, even when used at the widest aperture. They are
particularly useful in correcting distortion in wide-angle lenses and help
contribute to a lighter, more compact design by reducing the number of standard
(spherical) elements necessary. Aspherical lens elements correct these
distortions by continuously changing the refractive index from the center of the
lens.
Super Integrated Coating
Nikon Super Integrated Coating is Nikon's term for its multilayer coating of the
optical elements in NIKKOR lenses.
M/A
Select NIKKOR lenses have a focusing mode which allows switching from automatic
to manual focusing with virtually no lag time by simply turning the focusing
ring on the lens. This makes it possible to seamlessly switch to fine manual
focusing while looking through the viewfinder.
