The Return Of The Nikon 50mm F1.4 AFD

Let me continue from yesterday's post, the rest of the picture in that series. I had more space to manoeurve outdoors, so these are all shot with the Nikon 50mm F1.4 AFD, mostly at F2.2 aperture. I was lucky the weather was fine, and I had the warm evening sunlight glow to play with my subject. Ideally I would have a reflector and such equipment, but doing this shoot solo, it was not very feasible. I have always liked big aperture lens, and the 50mm F1.4 being the only affordable F1.4 lens for me, is one of my favourites. Most lens start to perform well 2 stops from their largest aperture, and that lens being F2 at 2 stop from its F1.4 aperture, gives me a lot of shallow Depth Of Field to play with, without sacrificing sharpness. Here are some of the picture samples. What can I say? Bokeh Okay! Why worry if it is made in China, like many people I know do. Go out and take pictures, because the Nikon 50mm F1.4 AFD ROCKS!
