Hammer part! I took advantage of career professional cameras and lenses from another manufacturer. What Nikon delivers here for 4xx EUR, is simply amazing: processing and image quality are outstanding; the lens has even (one must unfortunately still highlight a special feature) over a dust protection / sealing rubber collar. Given the - objectively demonstrated in tests (see internet search engine) - marginal differences for professional 1.4er variant, this lens is currently an absolute must for all Nikon Body owners. Since meanwhile make all new Nikon DSLRs loose in the 6400-he-Isobereich "screw up" is the benefit that the 1.4er aperture setting brings over the 1.8er variant negligible. For portraits, it is usually necessary anyway, slightly dim in order "to get" reasonable Focus range. I take the piece the way to a D5200.
