Conclusion
With this objective an almost 30-month shortage without the sale of new D FA products comes to an end. Which is a long time. But in the end, the wait was worth it, because the goal turned out to be monstrous. In every sense of the word. By its weight certainly, but especially by its impressive performances. It shows itself remarkable with a beautiful resistance to flare and AC outside while proposing an excellent homogeneity of the image and an absence of distortion.
But what we can remember is that this D FA ★ 50/1.4 seems to be at ease in any type of shooting. Outdoors, its all-weather construction allows it to be taken out in any condition while producing crisp, balanced images. Indoors, it will rise to the occasion, both in classic conditions of use (family assembly, etc.) and in studio conditions. One can only reproach him for being a little too precise in the details. This is undoubtedly one of the brand's best objectives in a long time (probably with the D FA ★ 70-200).
There remains the price, which many might find excessive. For these, we can only recommend the FA 50/1.4, which is smaller and more accessible. The D FA ★ 50/1.4 is a high quality objective, which deserves the STAR designation and whose price is justified.
