The 50mm f/1.8 Z-lens is very gery different to the Nikkor 58mm AF-S f/1.4
The 50mm f/1.8 Z is sharp and APO corrected to a much higher level on a Z7 it's just super sharp and contrasty
The 58mm AF-S f/1.4 is well rounded, painting and pleasing and smooth Bokeh
Great portrait Paco.
And great lens. What are the advantages/differences if you compare it with the AF-S 50/1.4 ?
Even if talking about the Z incarnation, Erik summarize it nicely. The AF-S 50/1.4 was a lens I used a lot...until i got the 58mm. The 50mm works very well, it is affordable, small, and has produce a few successful images for me. Works well with the Z bodies. What more can you ask for? But with the 58 is a love affair. It is almost always in my bag, even if I don´t plan on using it
The images it produces are just gorgeous. I love it specially with little kids. There is just the right amount of softness and detail, it is delicate. Stop it to f2 of f2.8 and it works
also for portraits; up to f4 for street photography. Those are my main uses. It is also at hand when I look for something special in a show or a rehearsal. Video? no problem. It has a very, very nice rendering around f2-f2.8. I just shot a little sequence like that and I´m very pleased. Out of all my gear, Olga likes 58mm the most (also the rodenstocks, go figure). She likes to borrow "the light one", as she calls it. Here a link for one video shoot with the 58mm, very much open:
