- čas přidán 3. 02. 2023
- In this video I compare two lenses: Nikkor AF-S 50mm F/1.8 G and Nikkor AF F/1.8 D. They are both 50 mm prime lenses for Nikon and are supposed to do exactly the same. I compare the lenses, review them and tell you the pros and cons of them to let you know which one I like more. The Nikkor AF F/1.8 D is older and smaller and doesn’t have a motor. At the same time has an aperture ring that the Nikkor AF-S 50mm F/1.8 G is lacking. Both lenses have their advantages and disadvantages. All things considered I’d prefer the Nikon AF-S 50mm F/1.8 G but for non_Nikon systems I’d get the Nikon AF F/1.8 D lens. I also determine the sharpness of the these lenses in my video as well as lens sweet spots. Which ever one of the two you have rest assured that they are both capable or very fine image quality and certainly recommended by me.

Older version is better!
Hi! Thank you for your feedback. Kind regards!
Thank you Tom that was the info I needed
Hi saneauto! I'm glad you found my video useful. Kind regards!
OMG ... Mine is preD ... AF. The aperture ring allows use on classic film bodies, like my FM2.
Thank you.
Hi Victor! Yes, the aperture ring is a nice thing to have when you need to use the lens on other bodies. I use this Nikon lens with my Fuji cameras. Thank you for watching!
The D renders a more pleasing image and at extremes the G is a little bit sharper. But you would hardly notice it. The D is still selling new and owners of older DSLRs like the D700 feel it complements the Panasonic sensor better. It renders almost like film which is exactly what Nikon wanted. The two together are perfect. The same can be said for the 85 1.8D as well.
Hi Technik Meister! Thank you very much for your insights. Kind regards!
Glad to hear! I have the D700 plus the 50mm & 85mm lenses. They also compliment my DX camera the Nikon D200.
@@PhillipConroy Hi! This is a nice set of lenses. The 85 mm is a great bokeh lens. Thanks for watching!
Hi everyone..I m a Tattooer and I started to use my old Nikon D90 to make photos of my tattoos..do you think that the
Nikon AF 50mm f/1.8 D could be the right lens to make it? Many thanks
Hi! Thanks for asking. Since the Nikon D90 has a motor in the body, it will work well with the Nikkor AF 50 F/1.8 D. Kind regards!
New, very sharp and flat image vs old, sharp and almost 3d image.
Hi! Thank you very much for your feedback. If I understand you correctly you are saying that the two lenses work very differently for you? Kind regards!
@@tom_photo That's true sir.Am just a hobbyist photographer. I found the images in the G series to be sharper. The D on the other hand kind of feels real which the G lacks. It's very obvious with the Nikkor ai 135 2.8/3.5 which I both own.
@@50mmnikonainikkor55 Hi! This is a very interesting observation. Thank you for letting everyone know.
the d version has LESS distortion because it was made for film cameras
Hi aeyde! Thank you for making this interesting point. Kind regards!
The G looks cool attached to the body.
Hi Alexis! Yes, I think so, too. Especially with the hood. Kind regards!
I love G lenses for all of my DSLR cameras but I think you need to give a point to the D lens for it's auto focusing and fully Manual functions on the early model auto focus Nikon film bodies like the F4. My G lenses will not auto focus or operate in full Manual mode on my F4s body. Therefore the lenses, in my opinion, are tied.
Hi GirdHerd! Thank you very much for making this very valid point. Kind regards!
@@SPotter1973 Hi SPotter! I think what is meant by fully manual mode here is probably manual metering. Kind regards!
I use both lenses for weddings, however, I have the 1986 of the D version and they both excel in their own way.
For example, at f/2 (the stop I use them in), the '86 version sucks at infinity while the G version, is sharp even at f/2 regardless of distance. That said, the '86 version has superior micro contrast right out of the can.
It really depends on what the end result will be. If I'm photographing for a publication, the G version is the way to because you will have more keepers. If I'm photographing a wedding client, I would instead go for the 50mm 1.4 D because it gives me the best from both of the 1.8's, but with a little bit less contrast. However, if it's a more creative client, I would go for the '86 version. So for maternity, engagements, families, etc., I choose the '86 version.
Overall, the '86 version as well as the D version in my opinion, have better looking photos out of the can. But again, if you prefer sharper photos or it's for a client you want more keepers from, the G version is the way to go.
Hi! Thank you very much for this interesting and valuable overview of the lenses. I really enjoyed reading it. Kind regards!
In my opinion, the only thing that is really important in this comparison is image quality. Rest doesnt really matter in using of both lenses.
Hi borus3212! I agree with this. Thanks for your feedback. Kind regards!
I had older, changet to newer, noticed nuthing, realized I cannot use it on my film-cameras, so now I'm making change back.
Hi OKuusava! Thank you for your feedback. Yes, if you want to use these lenses on film cameras then it's a bit different story. Kind regards!
I almost buy the wrong lens, thanks pal
Hi Juan Pablo! I'm very glad I could help you. Kind regards!
You can't say whiz after D. So the G whins.
Hi! Indeed. Cheers!
Far better is the AF 50/1.4 pre-D lens. Faster, cheaper, better and not gelded like the G lens and unless you use a flash extensively (I don't) you don't need the D flash distance information.
Hi William! Thank you for your feedback. The AF 50/1.4 is no doubt an excellent lens. Kind regards!
