This lens is an amazing deal. A 50 mm focus , also gives an amazing picture and image quality. IT attracts pictures in low vision , this can give a good deal to all the photographers.

When a customer purchases a lens from Nikon, it is generally assumed that the product will meet the highest standards of quality and dependability. This is why I was so surprised to discover a "purple spot", or "pale blue dot" visible at lower apertures on the AF Nikkor 50 mm 1.8...

Takes sharp beautiful pictures. I'm in the learning stages of using this lens but so for I am very well pleased with the product.

Focusing on near things are easy to do but focusing a human body from a distance with manual focus is very difficult to do so. Once u get it, camera image quality is good, nice bookeh, cheapest too

I bought this lens when I was just starting to figure out how to use my dslr, and it was not difficult to figure out. It is perfect for portraits and nature shots as well. It does not focus well on things less than 5 inches away. However, I believe you can shoot macro with it.

clarity; bokeh; focus

MF only

I purchased this lens for its low light ability compared to kit lenses and its affordable price. I was not expecting the huge jump in clarity and sharpness, or the instant focus ability, now I see why pros tout prime lenses. Very highly recommended.

Amazing lens, specially when f1.8 shallow DOF. pictures are really sharp. Really good for portrait photography and the same time low light conditions. Cheap but best lens, love this.

Great lens worth for money

Nothing

Although I am a complete amateur, this lens is very easy to use. I was looking for a good portrait lens that would allow good light in those low light situations that you didn't want to use a flash. This was exactly what I was looking for.

"The good: Optically excellent in all respects. Makes a nice close portrait lens on DX. Build quality is decent, although not up to the standards of Canon's L or Nikon's older manual versions. The bad: Focus gearing is a bit on the slow side for such a small lens (~4 turns for macro to infinity).

Not all the time a photo journalist can use the flash on the camera to click pictures. Certain pictures have to be clicked without anyone noticing it. This is where the Nikkor AF 50mm f/1.8 D Lens comes into play.
