Perhaps there is some truth that you get what you pay for. :-) Also I have found that all my nikon lenses benefited from being auto focus fine tuned due to variations in assembly. Perhaps the 50 Nikkor in this test was not tuned to the body used. Just a thought. I have two Nikkor 50 f1.4 D lenses and they are both softer at f1.8 than my newly purchased and focus tuned 50mm F1.8 G. It cost me $220.00.
