That third image, Guenther is really selling this lens. The rendition of the out of focus areas looks really good!

Yep, I am happy. :)
I've been looking for such a long time for a good 28 (!) mm AF lens!


Actually I just wanted to take some sample shots in shop and took a similar picture as #3.
Afterwards I had to buy it.


Some more pictures to come (but I won't flood this thread ;-) ).

Very nice rendering indeed, and quite a bit different from the old 28mm f/1.4 Nikkor...

So far the first review on the 28mm f/1.4e i have come across
Website from Horatio Tan, Streetsilhouettes

http://www.streetsilhouettes.com/home/2017/7/5/nikon-28mm-f14e-how-is-the-35mm-f14-still-a-thing


In film times a Sigma EX 1.8/28mm was one of my always on lenses. It resided on the FM2 while the 1.8/85D lived on the F100 and F4s before.

Later I found that for my style 24mm and 35mm are much nearer to my heart. So when Nikon gets a 1.4/35E or 1.2/35E into the shops I will very probably buy it blind.

For people who love 28mm the new offering is wonderful.

Go Nikon go and prosper!!!

Hi, I have got this lens and it is absolutely amazing in regards of image quality. I am only using it with the aperture wide open, mainly for environmental portraits and but I do find that the autofocus is hunting quite a bit sometimes, especially if the subject is further away, maybe full or three/quarter body shots and that there are more images that are not in focus than with lenses that are less wide. I do understand that it is harder for this lens to lock the focus accurately as the subject is obviously much smaller due to the wide angle and that this might be the reason. I have the D810 body set to AF-C S (Matrix metering set to face recognition). Is that the right setting in your view? It works very well with all my other lenses. Any suggestions and advice are very welcome, thanks.

I spoke to NPS and for what I am doing, static portraits, AF-S in single mode achieves the best and most consistent results. The focus 'hunting' was caused because of the AF-C. The lens is absolutely brilliant and made me sell my 24mm and 35mm. One wide f1.4 prime is enough for my kind of work and this is the one. Simply brilliant!! I do love the focal length on the Leica and now on the Nikon!!
