I never thought I would get this lens as quickly as I did. I just unpacked it moments ago. This Seller threw in a free hat as well. Who does things like that anymore? But, now, to the lens..,
I hoped and prayed I could mount it to my Nikon D3200 without much fuss. It worked! Snapped right in. I am a filmmaker so this lens was going to be my main prime. I've been shooting with it since it arrived an hour ago. I decided I'd better relax, have a smoke and write a review.
Remember, if you want to use this lens on a Nikon you need to have one of the slightly older models. Don't use it on the D70 or you'll break the mirror. The bokeh on this 50mm 1.4 is breath-taking. Though softer than newer lenses, the subject remains nice and sharp. I prefer softer subjects in much of my storytelling so it's perfect for my films.
Overall, great quality lens. It will probably be permanently clicked into my D3200.
And I would absolutely buy from this Seller again.

Verre arrière de la lentille taché

J'avais bien hâte d'ouvrir ce paquet et redécouvrir cette lentille qui avait fait la joie des photographes à l'époque des caméras argentiques.
Quelle déception de découvrir que le verre de la lentille arrière est taché!!! Traces de je ne sais quoi qui ne s'enlèvent pas. Je comprends que j'ai acheté une lentille usagée mais on me l'a vendu en disant qu'elle est en bon état et qu'elle a été inspectée et vérifiée afin de s'assurer que tout fonctionne normalement.
Cette tache blanchâtre sur le verre rend inutilisable les ouvertures F1,4 et F2.
Comble de l'histoire, je ne peux plus retourner la lentille car la date limite pour les retours chez Amazon était le 15 juillet 2020 (j'ai reçu le colis le 17 juillet!)
170$ CAD pour une lentille peu utilisable, ç'est très cher payé!! On me reprendra pas à acheter des items usagés sur Amazon et encore moins s'ils sont expédiés à partir de l'Asie.
Je ne recommande absolument pas "Online shop Matsuri".
