this was my first every prime lense I used along with my nikon D3300 and D7100. On my 3300 it would not auto focus but on the 7100 it does. other than that this took my amateur photography to a whole other level.

Works perfectly on my Nikon D80 - the clarity of the pictures is amazing. I bought it to supplement a couple of zoom lenses that I have, and the lens quality appears higher with a fixed focus "standard" lens.

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Consistent Output; Easily Interchangeable; Lightweight

Slow Focus

fabulous lens. you'll love it. i promise. i don't think it's left my camera body in 3 months.

clarity; sharpness; beautiful bokeh

obviously it's not a zoom so if you need zoom; it won't work for you

Everyone should have one of these.

Small, fast, light and super sharp; Very accurate AF and really cheap

Small form factor is not that impressive; takes non pro 52mm filters

Bought the 50mm 1.8 for my Nikon D7000. Coming from my 18-200mm lens, this is Outstanding. It takes Crisp sharp Images even when the subject is in motion. I had been debating on this 1.8D vs the 1.8G (which is more expensive) and decided to give this a shot.

I love manual focus and its very very good for portraits. if you have children and want to take photos of them do not miss it. one of the must have lens.

It's hard getting used to a non-zoom lens again, I feel like it makes me concentrate on the entire process more. Love the lens, it's fast and sharp. And a crazy low price!

Nice lil lens for the money. But it doesn't work in Auto Focus with my D40 or my D5000. It works in maunal though and great crisp photos are a plus.

This lens is really suited for nearly any activity. Indoor, low light shooting, weddings and special events, landscape and wildlife, night shooting with long exposures, and with the reversing ring it becomes an amazing macro lens.
