With that in mind, shooting the lens closed down to any point beyond f\/1.4 and you&#8217;re kinda throwing away money. I mean, if f\/2 or f\/2.8 does the job, why pay the extra money for a f\/1.4 lens? With that thought, my f\/1.4 lens collection (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bhphotovideo.com\/c\/product\/675829-USA\/Nikon_2184_AF_S_Nikkor_24mm_f_1_4G.html\/BI\/8449\/KBID\/9350\/kw\/NI2414GAFS\/DFF\/d10-v2-t1-xNI2414GAFS\" target=\"_blank\">24mm<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bhphotovideo.com\/c\/product\/585343-USA\/Nikon_2180_AF_S_Nikkor_50mm_f_1_4G.html\/BI\/8449\/KBID\/9350\/kw\/NI5014GAF\/DFF\/d10-v2-t1-xNI5014GAF\" target=\"_blank\">50mm<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bhphotovideo.com\/c\/product\/1269658-REG\/nikon_af_s_nikkor_105mm_f_1_4e.html\/BI\/8449\/KBID\/9350\/kw\/NI10514\/DFF\/d10-v2-t1-xNI10514\" target=\"_blank\">105mm<\/a>,), they are always shot wide open. The DoF of these lenses at f\/1.4 is incredibly narrow, that&#8217;s the point. Your focusing has to be incredibly precise then or your subject will be out of focus. There is simply no wiggle room, no DoF to save you if you&#8217;re off even 1\/2&#8243;! So the tip I have to pass along is pretty simple, when shooting at f\/1.4, use the S &#8211; Single AF Sensor mode. Why? This single sensor is highly accurate and can be easily and precisely placed on the point of focus you desire. It&#8217;s what I did in these and all my f\/1.4 lens photos. When you&#8217;ve paid good money for that f\/1.4, make the most of it!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_42736\" style=\"width: 443px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.moosepeterson.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DPNDAM10433.jpg?quality=100\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-42736\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.moosepeterson.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DPNDAM10433.jpg?resize=433%2C650&#038;quality=100\" alt=\"&quot;Cleaning Party&quot; captured by D5 \/ 105f1.4 AFS\" width=\"433\" height=\"650\" class=\"size-full wp-image-42736\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.moosepeterson.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DPNDAM10433.jpg?w=433&amp;quality=100&amp;ssl=1 433w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.moosepeterson.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/DPNDAM10433.jpg?resize=390%2C585&amp;quality=100&amp;ssl=1 390w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 433px) 100vw, 433px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-42736\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">&#8220;Cleaning Party&#8221;<br \/>captured by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bhphotovideo.com\/c\/product\/1214152-REG\/nikon_1557_d5_dslr_camera_body.html\/BI\/8449\/KBID\/9350\/kw\/NID5XQD\/DFF\/d10-v2-t1-xNID5XQD\" target=\"_blank\">D5<\/a> \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bhphotovideo.com\/c\/product\/1269658-REG\/nikon_af_s_nikkor_105mm_f_1_4e.html\/BI\/8449\/KBID\/9350\/kw\/NI10514\/DFF\/d10-v2-t1-xNI10514\" target=\"_blank\">105f1.4 AFS<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you own a f\/1.4 lens, you&#8217;ve paid good money for that f\/1.4.
