I bought this lens to go along with my D610 and I'm wondering if I would've been better off with the Sigma alternative. This is a great lens - the bokeh is absolutely dreamy and the color quality is great - my only concern is with the sharpness. My pictures seem to come out a little too soft sometimes, no matter the camera settings. Plus the "auto" part of the autofocus feature doesnt focus very well if its something further away than the 50mm distance. I usually have to switch into manual focus to get the shot. Overall, I am happy with this lens which is why I gave it 4 stars, but I do wish I had rented both this and the Sigma to compare before purchasing. Just a thought for those of you considering this lens.

I love my new D610! The photo quality is perfection. Honestly, it's even pretty great on Auto mode. I bought the 50mm 1.4 to go along with it and I am extremely happy with this purchase. If you're trying to decide between crop and FF, go with FF - and the 610 is definitely the best value for FF on the market right now. You won't regret it!
