Nikon 50mm f/1.8D AF Nikkor Review

 

While its wide-open performance leaves a bit to be desired, it's hard not to commend this lens for its performance based solely on its price point. Stop it down to ƒ/2.8 and it provides excellent results;

Nikon 50mm f/1.8D AF Nikkor Lens Review

 

The Nikon 50mm f/1.8D AF Nikkor prime lens is a classic lens. It is a redesign of a time-tested classic that has for years proven its ability to deliver excellent design and functionality. For

Nikon 50mm f/1.8 D AF Review Round-Up

 

The Nikkor AF 50mm f/1.8 D is a low profile lens with less sex-appeal than the big glass but it is an interesting lens nonetheless. At wide-open aperture it is a little soft at the image borders and the contrast level is a little on the low side....

Nikon Nikkor AF 50 mm f/1.8D

 

What is the cheapest way of taking really sharp pictures and making the best of our reflex camera both in the sense of creativity and the play with the depth of field? The answer is simple – you should buy a 1.8/50 class lens which can be found on such...

very good price/quality ratio ; excellent image quality in the frame center ; good image quality at the frame edge ; chromatic aberration not bothersome ; negligible distortion ; silent and quite fast autofocus ; high transmission

Nikon 50mm f/1.8 D AF

 

Though it doesn't feature the speed of many 50mm lenses, the Nikon 50mm f/1.8 D AF wins through on sheer value for money.

Great Glass

 

Best use, Film and FX format CMOS sensors.

The Nifty Fifty! Great Glass, fast aperture at F1.8, fast AF through screw drive, great Bokeh!. Been using this on a D200. IF your using this on a DSLR DX format with screw drive (D1,D2,D50,D70,D80,D90,D100,D200,D300,D7000) Do note that it is actually...

No Cons, just do your research when buy it for your camera, make sure its compatible. IF you have a cheaper Nikon with no AF motor, get the 35mm DX

Great for the price

 

I would recommend this to a friend if they were buying it at around $100 and not $180. If your camera body does support AF focusing. If not, still works with manual focus. Owned and used it for over 2 years, still works like it was brand new.

Very inexpensive. I remember buying mine for more like $110. It was well wroth it. I've been using it for my D40. It's a good small lightweight lens. Good for casual shots. I use it mostly for low light situations. I usually turn it up to 2.2 or higher...

A bit plasticy. Feels kind of cheap. Focus ring is a bit clunky. Doesn't auto focus with certain cameras. Look to see if you camera body supports AF. Pictures are a bit fuzzy at 1.8. The depth of field is so small at that f-stop that you can rarely...

Should be 1st lens you buy

 

If you're coming from a film camera, this lens is the equivalent of a 75mm, so you won't be getting a wide shot with it. This is easily the best value in lenses, but shop around since it should only cost a little over 1 c-bill.

Very fast lens that gets beautiful out of focus areas behind and in front of your subject (bokeh). If you're looking for a great portrait lens that isolates your subject but you can't spend a ton, this is it. Sharp photos if you're a few stops away...

Being a prime lens, I don't use this as much as my zoom lenses since this doesn't have much reach, but if I'm relatively close to my subject this is great. Doesn't autofocus on D40/D3000/D5000 since there's no built-in AF motor. If you have one of...
