Nikon Nikkor 24Mm F 1.4

[24mm] I bought both the AF-S Nikkor 24mm f/1.4G ED and the AF-S Nikkor 28mm f/1.4E ED last week from B&H.  Both are really great!  Images captured by my Nikon D850 with this 24mm are slightly soft at f/1.4 when viewed fully zoomed in to 100% (1 to 1) on my 27” iMac.  Zoomed out slightly from 100%, the f/1.4 images look great.  Applying a little sharpening in Capture One Pro on images taken at f/1.4 results in final images being indistinguishable when viewed at 100% from those captured at f/4 to f/8 without sharpening.  Very slight softening starts coming in again at f/11 when viewed at 100%.  However, the AF-S Nikkor 28mm f/1.4E ED is razor sharp even wide open at f/1.4 - this 28mm lens is absolutely outstanding!

[28mm] This lens is fantastic-sharp at 1.4 and beautiful throughout the range. I have the 24mm 1.4 Nikkor which, to me, is a tad soft at 1.4 and requires stopping down to about 2.8 for acceptable performance. Not the case with this lens, however, it is utterly fantastic from 1.4 on. This lens is destined to be a classic. I pair it with my Nikkor 105 E 1.4 and can conquer the world with this combo!

The attached photos were taken hand held at f/1.4.

[Full-Frame] This lens is my go-to lens when I'm traveling light. It even improves upon my Nikkor 28mm f/1.4D, which I continue to use on my Nikon film cameras including the F6.

[4.02 lb] I own several camera bags... Billingham, Tamrac, Lowepro, Ruggard, just to name a few! My new Prince Street Messenger Bag is by far the best and fits my needs like no other! It houses my Nikon D810, Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 85mm f/1.4G Lens, Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 35mm f/1.4G Lens, Nikon SB-400 Flash, batteries, battery charger, cleaning cloths, and other assorted small items. It's my go to kit. It's made of beautiful Italian Leather and protects my gear perfectly! So easy to carry and looks inconspicuous and classy! The Ona Prince Street is made to last and I highly recommend this amazing bag!! If you are carrying high-end gear, why cheap out on what you depend on to protect it!

[77 mm (Front)] This Nikkor 28mm f/1.4E lives up to its reputation as a very sharp lens which I tested using my Nikon Z9 with FTZ II adapter. I still have a Nikon F6 and D5 SLR cameras which can use this sharp lens. An excellent sharp DSLR lens never goes out of use even in the mirrorless landscape. Testing this lens as a close up lens, I took images of the flowers in my neighbour's landcape. It is such a sharp lens enabling the Nikon Z9 to capture the exact colors of the flowers as they are in real life.

[Multi-Coating] I USE WITH 85 1.4 NIKON

[Zipper] I use this product to carry my nikon d4 with two prime lens, (the old 20mm f.3,5 UD and new 35mm F.1,4 G) and the new zoom 70-200 vrII. I'm very happy for this bag because is small and pretty

[58 mm (Front)] Youd think for the price this would have some flaws. At f.1/4 its pretty sharp at f.2 its razor sharp. I did not look at the outer edges of the frames as Im concerned with my subject. Good buy for the price.
