The Lens is well-designed to perform in even the most challenging low-light environments, the new AF-S NIKKOR 58mm f/1.4G lens is ideal for capturing portraits, landscapes and street photography. Both FX and DX-format shooters will benefit from a wide and fast f/1.4 aperture that helps to ensure professional-grade photos and edge-to-edge sharpness.
