[QUOTE="crycocyon, post: 209407, member: 13076"] I was surprised as well it wasn't a 1.4. Seriously. But Nikon's strategy may simply be resolution and performance of the lens. I think their 50 mm 1.4 is a very good lens but clearly they want this 58 mm to be their pro standard lens. It has 9 elements in 6 groups with two aspherical with both Nano and super integrated coating. Very interesting. I am sure it will be an impressive lens performance-wise...out-performing Canon's 50 1.2, and the Noct 1.2. Otherwise if it doesn't then there is no point. The big question for me is how well will it stand up to the upcoming and incredible Zeiss 55 1.4 distagon? If it is like 90 or 95% of the performance of that $4k lens, then it is definitely worth it and much more affordable (relatively speaking) and I'm going to keep my eye on it. Very curious to see how that pans out and how DxOMark ranks this lens. [/QUOTE]
