Useful lens at a great price
This is the first Nikon lens I bought after getting my first DSLR about 5 years ago. I still use it now and it's a great little lens. It's extremely sharp stopped down from f/2.8 to f/5.6 and not too terrible wide open. The aperture of f/1.8 is extremely useful in situations where you want to throw... Read full review »
Great lens to have in your bag!
The Nikon 50mm 1.8 is great lens to have in your bag! I have produced some lovely images with this lens! Read full review »
Shooting indoors without having to use your flash.. its GREAT!
This lens is rediculously great! It is my favorite focal length and is terrific for portraits.
Because of amazingly large aperature of f/1.8 shooting in low-lit settings suddenly becomes a peice of cake! It picks up so much light compared to some of the slower lenses on the market...

great value!
I have had this lens for a couple of years, and I love it. It is great for lower light situations since it has wider aperture capabilities. It is also preferable to the 85mm in smaller spaces since you have to zoom with your feet, and it doesn't require as much space. It's not the... Read full review »
Great Lens
I got this lens a couple of weeks ago and am very happy with it. The bokeh is wonderful. Pictures are very crisp and sharp. Nice fast lens to have around. Read full review »
Fast and cheap glass
Considered by many film photographers to be an essential tool in any camera bag, 50mm lenses have always seemed to have a good reputation – and the Nikon 50mm 1.8D AF is a fine addition to that line up.
In the world of digital, the old style 50mm – which always was cited at giving an...

Essential item!
This is a must have lens. The lens can be had for around $100, and I've yet to see any Nikon lens that can produce similar image quality, for anywhere near this price. Most DSLR beginners will end up with slow zoom lenses that will handicap even the cheapest DSLR. Any zoom that can produce the... Read full review »
Revisiting the Nikon 50mm f/1.8D AF in the digital era.
Introduction
Nikon and Canon have long offered a fast 50mmm lens. Over the years, these have been available as manual focus lenses, autofocus lenses, and with apertures as wide as f/1.2. Nikon's 50mm f/1.8D AF has long been considered one of the sharpest prime lenses available. Since it...

Every SLR owner should have this in their bag!!
This lens if fast, super sharp and very contrasty. It is a great portrait lens and can even be used as a macro lens if it is fitted with a reversing ring.
It is super light and takes great low light images. This particular lens is the D variety so it can be used with older film cameras as...

Not too good for nikon eh
Ok lets see …
the 50mm AF-D nikon lenses, both f 1.4 and 1.8
suffer from some NONFOCUS as I call it.
They simply can go only so sharp and
Not any sharper.
this means, they are not resolving, and not sharp
even at smaller aps of about f 5.6 to f 11 or...

This performance for under $100 is a no-brainer
As one of the most reviewed, and probably most widely owned Nikon lenses, it doesn't really make sense to write yet another review. But I've always enjoyed my copy of the Nikon 50mm f/1.8 D, so why not share?
Specs of this little jewel are as follows:

You just can't praise it enough
I had previously passed over the thought of writing a review about this lens. Mostly, it seemed that everyone else had already said everything that needed to be said. Over the weekend I pulled out this little gem and for the 100th time this year I put it away after it served it's purpose and... Read full review »
Good lens, but what about assembly?
When I took my new 50mm 1.8 out of the box, I was surprised that it was made in China. First, I thought that Nikon quality assurance would resolve any issues. When I was mounting the lens, I noticed though that the fitting is very tied compared to the other lenses that I have. All the other lenses... Read full review »
A Bargain from Nikon?
For 99 dollars what can you say to a 50mm lens that is fast and may be as sharp or even sharper than other Nikon lenses costing over 1000.00??? How about THANKS!? I also have the 18-70 and 28-200, but when I photograph my son I often use the 50mm 1.8 for it's wonderful detail, color and focus. If... Read full review »
Nikon 50mm beauty!
The Nikon (Nikkor) 50mm 1.8D AF lens is quite a bargain. I shoot professionally and this has been a very strong performer. The lightweight design may give it the appearance of an inferior product, but if you compare results side by side with the far more expensive 1.4 model there is really no big... Read full review »
A "Must Have" Lens!
This 50mm f/1.8 offering from Nikon is just about the best bargain that Nikon offers on their lens lineup. $99 USD will buy you an extremely useable lens in many, many photographic situations.
I own a number of 50mm Nikkors, but this one has to be my second favorite. Stopped down to...

One of the Few, the proud, the Nikons!
This lens is the newest generation of the venerable Nikon autofocus 50mm f1.8 that was one of the first AF lenses offered by Nikon. This lens, which upgrades the previous version's already impressive sharpness, adds the "D" technology that provides distance measurement data to the camera and flash... Read full review »
Ancient Nikon Optic Reborn
The Nikon AF Nikkor 50mm 1.8D is the replacement for the Nikon AF Nikkor 50mm 1.8 that has been in production since 1985. Anybody that is familiar with Nikon lenses knows that Nikon's 'D' lenses (the 'D' stands for Distance, this means the lens takes the subject's distance from the camera in... Read full review »
50mm f/1.8 Has the Best Optics at a CHEAP price!
Nowadays, when zooms are the norms, a fixed-focal-length lens is often overlooked. At a price of well under $100, this AF Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 can knock all the variable aperture zooms (particularly in the range 35-70mm, 28-80mm, 28-70mm) off their feet!
This lens is a real knocker. At 50mm,...
