Nikon Af-S Nikkor 50 Mm F/1.8G Prime Lens for DSLR Camera - Black

I bought this lens almost an year ago and have been using it with Nikon D7000 and Nikon D3300 . I personally own a few other lens from Nikon ,including telephoto zoom ,kit and prime . If you are really into photography then going for a prime lens would be a wise decision . Also a 50mm prime lens is always recommended because it will give you a better bokeh effect (in some cases) .You just have to stand a few feet away from the object to take a perfect shot. #IMAGE QUALITY: This lens is hands down amazing. Paired with my D3200, it really does offer stunning photos. The autofocus is fast and accurate, however sometimes focus seems to stray from my subject. The first thing you will notice about this lens over the 1.8D is that color are so much more vivid. Because I had to manually focus with the 1.8D, photos weren't always tack sharp. This lens is very sharp. The best part about it is that its way sharper than the 1.8D at wider apertures. I mainly shoot from f2.2 - f2.8 and sharpness kills the 1.8D. #BETTER BOKEH EFFECT: Bokeh is the background blur you see in DSLR shots. Nowadays you can create a good bokeh effect using software itself. But trust me prime lens bokeh looks way more natural, accurate and PERFECT.So if you want that really smooth and creamy bokeh, this lens is the way to go. #REASONS TO BUY - takes PHENOMENAL portraits -This lens does incredibly well in low-light situations, especially if you keep it at the lowest aperture and low shutter speed. - Perfectly usable wide-open (unlike the 1.8D) - Very sharp with The “SLR Look” - Little to no flaring - Excellent color reproduction and contrast - True professional performance for very little money - Built like a plastic tank -Macro Photography: (hack:))reverse the lens and hold it near the body of the camera. - Fits well in the hand and is very light - Well thought out ergonomics - Manual focus override of AF - Great lens hood Cons: - Small amount of barrel distortion - Only stops down to f/16 (the 1.8D went to f/22) - Slight play in the manual focus (manual override makes up for this) - Distance scale could be better - AF could be faster Overall the Nikon 50mm 1.8G is a photographer’s friend, offering speed, fun, creativity and awesome quality images. This lens is a versatile, quick reach companion for any photographer’s lens collection.I would highly recommend this if you are getting serious about your photography and also for casual shots. Thanks for reading.I hope my review provided all the information for a well informed and wise purchase decision. Hope it helps! Regards Abraham

Very good quality lens from Nikon. Built like a tank.

So i got these after a recommendation from a professional photographer friend of mine. The reason I got the Nifty 50 (nick name) is for that background blur to portraits. I've had this for a week now and after like 500 clicks am beginning to get hands on with it. I like the results and quiet honestly it has that professional feel and there's a nice focus on the subject going on, I like the background blur that's playing for most of the pics I clicked with these. I'm more of an amateur and its already making me feel like a pro, there's very little editing needed for me after that. I would definitely recommend this if your looking to get that depth to your portraits and if you want to highlight your subjects, this ones a good deal.

Good product by nikon . Price can be bit low . Auto focus works like charm. No issues with built quality. Good prime for nikon D3500 . Low light performance is good . Sharpness is good

This is an amazing lens. I use it with my newly bought Nikon D3300 and it works as it specifies. Although, for group shot one has to go far, and difficult inside a room. here are my observations. Pros 1. Sharpness. The lens is very sharp. 2. Auto focus. This helps a lot when there is less light and you have to focus particularly on a subject. Using the 3D focus of the camera, the lens fixes the focus on the subject. 3. Bokeh. The bokeh effoect is very good with this lens. use it to photograph someone with background having a lot of light. more the distance between foreground and BG, more beautiful the bokeh. 4. Portraits. This lens is for portraits and it works really well. you can really capture expressons. COns 1. Maybe the crop factor. I am using it with a DX camera (nikon D3300) and hence this lens isnt giving me entire 50 mm. To a normal person this lens feels as if it is zooming the subject. But it is okay, my choice. so, the photos will not be wide. to capture a group of 7-9 people standing side to side, the camera has to stand 10 feet away. The delivery of Amazon was amazing and on time. Packaging was good, service was good, tracking was effective and I am very satisfied. I initially ordered using FLipkart and the product was defective and color faded a little, the auto focus was jammed. Amazon provided me with a product which is manufactured in October and in a new condition. Thanks for the good service.

This lens was bought to complement the Nikon 18-200 VR II that I use with a D5200, which is a superlative lens in itself. With this DX format body, this 50mm lens has an effective focal length of about 70-75mm, making it a great lens for portraits and low-light general photography, to take full advantage of its large aperture for both bokeh and relatively lower ISO settings. It's an excellent lens offering crisp high-contrast images with very little distortion. The other main use I had in mind was to use the fairly low minimum focussing distance and large aperture for macro nature photos. I find a dedicated macro lens impractical while shooting in natural light, and previous experiments with an old 18-55 kit lens that came with my first DSLR (a D3000) has shown me that it doesn't really take a dedicated macro lens for good photos as long as you don't plan extreme macros. I haven't yet had the time to use this lens for macros, but from the general results, I don't think I will be disappointed. My final opinion: Excellent results, and a greatly useful and reasonably priced lens to always be part of your kit.

This is a great basic 50 MM lens. What I like about it : 1) Budget Friendly 2) Really Sharp Images 3) Small and light What I dont like : 1) Build quality is very plasticy 2) No zoom (Ofcourse) 3) Need to learn focusing skills initially to take good pictures

Med denna får du proffskvalite till din systemkamera. Filmerna blir som på riktig film. Du kan köra låga ISO pga enormt ljusinsläpp. Denna produkt är säkert 100ggr viktigare än själva huset. Köp!

Perfect.

今まで使っていた一眼レフはあまりにも古いため書き換えを決断。 どうせならフルサイズにしようとさがしていて、本体と別々に購入。ズームレンズと違って明るいため、屋内ステージでもめちゃくちゃ綺麗に撮れたので、しばらくはエース級の活躍になると思います。

Here is an excellent 50mm lens from Nikon. Very fast (f1.8) with auto focus. Extremely light, but with superb glass, the most appealing thing about this lens is its price. So affordable it should be in every camera bag.
