Not for everyone...

I don't agree that this is a must have lens. If you own a DX camera like the D90 or D7000 then the 35mm f/1.8 DX is probably a better choice because of the effect of the cropped sensor on focal length which makes this lens a 75mm in the real world.

Nikon 50mm f/1.8D AF Lens

While I hope to create a full Nikon 50mm f/1.8D AF Lens, my first priority is to include results from this lens in the lens comparison tools available on the site. This page currently exists because it is required by the database and content management systems for me to post information and standard...

Grymt!

Helt klart ett objektiv som är användbart. Speciellt till porträtt bilder och det passar perfekt som första objektiv efter kitobjektivet. Den stora bländaren gör att du kan fota när det är mörkt vilket gör att du slipper brusiga bilder eller använda blixt.
Pros:
  • Priset
  • helt klart
  • Den stora bländaren
  • Bildkvaliteten är fantastisk för priset
  • Fungerar både med DX och FX kameror
  • Litet och smidigt
Cons:
  • Finns inte mycket negativt men 50mm blir 75mm på DX så det passar inte så bra i alla sammanhang
  • Det är ett manuellt objektiv
  • kräver därför en kamera med motor om man vill ha autofokus

Nikon AF NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8D Lens JAA013DA 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; by ƒ/8, it's one of the sharpest lenses we've tested.

Great low-light lens

This lens is a great combination for any camera. If you are taking pictures indoor and want to use the ambient light then a prime lens is a must. The large aperture of 1.8 provides excellent background blurring.
Pros:
  • Small and lightweight
Cons:
  • Plastic body

Nikon 50mm 1.8D Prime Lens

I picked up a copy of the ubiquitous Nikon 50mm F/1.8 prime lens over the weekend and tried my hand at forced manual focusing on the D40 body. For the first hour or so, I had a hell of a time, trying to gauge the focus through the viewfinder without any additional help.

I had a D80 with 18-135 and 70-300 VR. I bought this lens to use mostly in museums where flash is not allowed also to use it with Nikon CLS system with my SD600 flash. I also own older lenses and Nikon bodies. I used 50 f/2 AI and 50 f/1.4 AI on my D80 before.
Pros:
  • This is a very sharp lens even at f/1.8
  • At f/1.8 the DOF is very shallow so nailing the focus is very important
  • In my opinion some of the complaints of softness come from the unfocused results
  • It is hard to focus in dim places and at night inside homes.
Cons:
  • It is very weakly built
  • It gives a lot of resistance when screwing the lens compared to smooth operation of 18-135 or 70-300VR

Nikkor AF 50mm f/1.8 D - Review / Test Report

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.
