Nikon AF-S 50mm f/1.8G - mst - 04-13-2011 It seems as if without any further announcement (so far) Nikon has updated its entry level normal prime: http://imaging.nikon.com/lineup/lens/singlefocal/normal/af-s_50mmf_18g/index.htm -- Markus Nikon AF-S 50mm f/1.8G - dragonfire - 04-13-2011 [quote name='mst' timestamp='1302703026' post='7598'] It seems as if without any further announcement (so far) Nikon has updated its entry level normal prime: http://imaging.nikon.com/lineup/lens/singlefocal/normal/af-s_50mmf_18g/index.htm -- Markus [/quote] saw it, if bokeh is better than 1,8D and shaprness is at least the same it will be a bargain for around 250-260 EUR i guess... Nikon AF-S 50mm f/1.8G - mst - 04-13-2011 Hopefully a lot lower. 250 EUR would be too close to the AF-S 50/1.4, 150 to 180 EUR sounds more like a fair deal. Definitely interested myself, just sold the Sigma 50/1.4 <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> I guess there will be some sort of official announcement later. Since they assemble quite a few of their lenses (especially in the lower price segment) in China and Taiwan, it might come to market soon. -- Markus Nikon AF-S 50mm f/1.8G - dragonfire - 04-13-2011 [quote name='mst' timestamp='1302704919' post='7601'] Hopefully a lot lower. 250 EUR would be too close to the AF-S 50/1.4, 150 to 180 EUR sounds more like a fair deal.

I think the previous version hadn't. Will be interesting to compare the two side by side. Rem: Users of Leica summicron 35/2 and summilux 35/1.4 for Leica M, could go on for ages how much "nicer" the image of the old spherical versions over the newer aspherical ones is. In that context "nicer" doesn't mean a better control of aberrations, actually quite often the opposite. The story is a nice example of "the internet never forgets". Though in principle putting this on your website must constitute copyright infringement. Something every German is very clued about these days.
