Your best $99 Nikon lens

byrxit Dec 6, 2001
24 Helpfuls 25 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Inexpensive, fast, light, Nikon results
Cons Not currently available as a D model
Recommended it? Yes

When I decided to purchase a fixed (non-zooming) lens for my camera, the most common salesperson response to my inquiry for the 50mm lens was ?what do you want that for? Everyone has gone to a zoom now-a-days.? Well in answer to that question I would have to say that I began my photography... Read full review »

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... Read full review »

One of the Few, the proud, the Nikons!

Pros Lightweight, small, very sharp, bright and a bargain to boot.
Cons None I can think of.
Recommended it? Yes

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 »

You just can't praise it enough

Pros Fantastic "bang for the buck", Fantastic low light performance, Amazing optical...
Cons zoom with your feet!! If you an MF user, Nikon makes more suitable lenses
Recommended it? Yes

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 »

50mm f/1.8 Has the Best Optics at a CHEAP price!

bypaulphoto May 20, 2002
18 Helpfuls 19 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Superb optics, Compact size, cheap!
Cons None
Recommended it? Yes

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,... Read full review »

Fast and cheap glass

Pros price, small size, low weight, useful lens
Cons watch for that shallow depth of field at wide apertures!
Recommended it? Yes

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... Read full review »

Essential item!

byrbr28 Jun 15, 2007
12 Helpfuls 13 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Image quality, portability, cost, ease of use, speed.
Cons none.
Recommended it? Yes

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 »

This performance for under $100 is a no-brainer

byphotog77 Feb 20, 2006
12 Helpfuls 13 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Sharpness and contrast, price, better build than equivalent Canon lens
Cons Bokeh is kinda rough, f/1.8 is too soft for use, lots of plastic
Recommended it? Yes

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:

Too under-rated!!!

byhenryy Nov 17, 2000
11 Helpfuls 12 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Cheap, light, sharp, fast
Cons none
Recommended it? Yes

This is the must have lens! We probably all started our photo career with a 50mm on an old body at some point in time. And there is good reason for that. The fact that this lens is the closest in perspective as your eyes is a major plus. Major plus, in fact. If you can see it and frame it, you... Read full review »

This is the first lens you should buy for your Nikon

Pros SHARP! Doubles as slide viewing loupe
Cons Very hard to keep clean
Recommended it? Yes

After spending over a year putting up with the consumer-grade zoom that I got with my Nikon N60, I decided that it was time to follow the advice of EVERYBODY that ever talked to me about photography: get a prime lens.

Since I could not afford the Nikkor F1.4D, I tried to grab a used F1.8... Read full review »
