It\'s a long time since my film days that I\'ve had a 50mm lens! I bought this to have availability to a lightweight wide aperture lens. One top rated reviewer (no not KR) claims the Nikon 50mm f\/1.8G still outperforms the Nikon 50mm f\/1.4G on a high...

Sharp & Fast!

 

I used to own the old 50mm 1.8 D, and no doubt about it, it was a great lens. The 50mm 1.8 G beats the old D in all respects: Build quality, sharpness and (especially) the speed of the auto focus. This lens\' focus is FAST. I was considering buying the...

Great prime lens & fantastic value

 

I had to think hard about buying this as I had a zoom lens that covered 50mm and the \'sister\' 35mm f\/1.8g so would I benefit from buying the 50mm prime? In short, yes. It\'s a great lens, especially for portraits. Images are crisp and vibrant. I...

One needs a "walkabout" lens. This is it. Fits in your pocket, or in the corner of your camera bag, so it\'s always there when you need it. The difference between f1.8 and f1.4 models may be a worry to some, but in actual use, lenses are usually...

Great prime for the money

 

It may be \'Made in China\', but the quality of this lens is excellent from f4 to f16, with razor-like sharpness, good contrast and little chromatic abberations. It is a bit soft when wider than f4, and pretty poor at f1.8, but the bokeh (background...

1.8 reborn

 

Bought this recently and took it away to Copenhagen with my D700. It\'s a great lens quick and silent and unobtrusive. Great for travel and general walk around lens and of course portraits great bokeh too. This is a great addition to my prime lenses...
