I've owned a couple; one AIS and one AF version. Both were excellent, although I learned to shoot wide open only when I had to. The 50 f/1.4 has become a real quality cornerstone to the Nikon line, even with amateurs getting slow zooms over higher quality primes. You'll get very low distortion, excellent color and resolution.
