Historically, 50mm lenses have been the standard lenses for 35mm film SLRs. Back in 1972 when I bought my first SLR , it came with a 50mm/f1.4 as a "kit lens," although we did not use such terminology back then.

REVIEW: Nikon AF-S Nikkor 50mm f/1.8G
This update to Nikon's venerable 50mm f/1.8G has a lot to live up to, as the reputation of the older D version that it is amongst Nikon's sharpest optics will be a hard task to live up to.

NIKKOR 50mm AF-S f/1.8G
I followed the Dell customer review suggestion on this lens and the purchase was well beyond my expectations. At 50mm the DX format conversion equals a focal range of 75mm standard and clarity on the G series is much sharper than I could ever imagine!

Great lens
I bought this lens because I wanted a fast portrait lens for my D7000. For me, this lens represented the best of both worlds - a fast aperture at a cheap price.

Awesome lens for the price
For the price this is a very good lens. I use it on my full-frame D800 with great results when stopped down to F5.6 or narrower. You can't afford to NOT have this lens if you don't have anything that does this focal length.
Pros:
- Price 58mm filter thread metal mount very sharp for the price
Cons:
- No weather sealing no depth of field indicator plastic filter thread

Nikon AF-S 50mm f/1.8G Review
There was a time when almost every 35mm film camera came with a 50mm prime (fixed focal-length) lens because on a full-frame camera, the 50mm focal length captures roughly the same angle-of-view as is seen by the human eye.
Pros:
- Fantastic full-frame performance
Cons:
- Some chromatic aberration on DX-format sensor

Worthy Upgrade
The only flaw I can point at is the slight barrel distortion but at this price it still worth it. Its hardly noticeable unless you frame the edges with straight lines. The nikon 35mm 1.8g has been the worst at this but this one is almost not there.
