Excellent Lens
I bought it to supplement the 24-120 f4 zoom I have which is also an excellent lens. The 50mm f1.8 is a lighter,handy lens that works in many situations.

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

Nikon 50mm f/1.8G AF-S Nikkor
My experience is the same as the reviewer. I was hoping to use this lens for landscapes as well, but it requires a lot of stopping down. Fine in low light, though - bit of a marvel there.
Pros:
- Great Centre sharpness, colour and contrast at maximum aperture in low light
- Small lens
Cons:
- Overall sharpness only at smaller apertures

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.

Nikkor AF-S 50mm f/1.8G
After more than 30 years, Nikon has changed the optical design of its 50mm f/1.8 lens. But how does the new model compare to its predecessors? Richard Sibley investigates

I felt somewhat obligated to enter a review, as the only quick review of two stars seemed a bit unfair. But, in all fairness, I've only had this lens for about 24 hours, so take this for what it's worth. I've used the 1.8 D for a couple years and was generally satisfied with it.
Pros:
- Build
- AF speed
- Improved optics wide open
- silent af
- auto/manual override
- great bokeh
Cons:
- 1 stop loss on the high end
