I can still remember the sound of the AF while its hunting the subject- i listened it much. Under f/2.2 it was sharp as plastic bag covered with snot but at 2.2 and above it was quite good.

Cheap; good iq when stopped down

AF inconstancy; lack of sharpness when opened

First off, please do note that this is an AF-D lens, which means it auto-focuses on Nikon DSLRs with a screw mount (D7xxx series and all full frame Nikon DSLRs). Having said that, this lens is a must for anyone who wants the 'old-school' feel- to use the aperture ring on the lens itself.

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

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

Just got the lens today and right out of the box I couldn't get it to autofocus on my Nikon D7000. This lens seemed to be a very tight fit when I twisted it onto the camera body. I could manually focus the lens, but couldn't get it to autofocus.

Small and compact

Tight fit

Good lens at the price. Works on both SLR and DSLRs. The lens is quite sharp at either end of the apertures. Needs to be handled carefully though because of its plastic built but that is something any camera user is accustomed to

with Warranty from croma, its trusted service.

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.

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.

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...
