AF-S 50mm F/1.8G Nikkor Lens Review
July 11th. Nikon recently released the AF-S Nikkor 50mm F/1.8G, a reasonably priced fast prime lens geared towards enthusiast photographers. When attached to a digital SLR camera with a DX format size sensor, the lens offers approximately a 75mm field of view in 35mm equivalent terms.

Nikon AF-S Nikkor 50mm F/1.8G Lens AFS50MM F/1.8G review
With so many choices in the 50mm category, even just from Nikon, it's hard to figure who the target audience for the 50mm ƒ/1.8G. Obviously, owners of consumer bodies such as the D3100 or D5100, which don't have mechanical autofocus screws, will gravitate to this lens.

Second Movement
When it comes to great lenses it seems like innovation still happens at a glacial pace. Of course, one could just blame it on an age where new mobile phones are announced every 29 hours, but we digress. Good things come to those who wait and the Nikon 50mm f/1.8G AF-S ($220) is certainly just that.

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.

Nikon 50mm f/1.8G AF-S Nikkor review by Prime Minister
Like the AF-S 85mm f/1.8G, this AF-S 50mm f/1.8G is a nice surprise. And an affordable one too. Sharpness and contrast in the center are very good already at f/1.8 (really) and stopping down the whole image becomes nice and sharp at f/2.8.
Pros:
- Sharp
- faster auto focus
- small
- light
- affordable
- recessed front lens
Cons:
- Vignetting at f/1.8

Nikon AF-S NIKKOR f/1.8G Lens review
This is a small and lightweight lens that can be carried around anywhere easily. However, the size should not be taken for its lack of performance. It can perform in any light condition, which is a stellar feature as far as the price goes.
Pros:
- Lightweight and easy to hold, Renders silky and natural-looking bokeh, Equipped with a super-fast and quiet autofocus, Subject and background mesh together beautifully, At full aperture, the resolution in the middle of the image is brilliant
Cons:
- Lens distortion issues are noticeable, Vignetting can be seen at full aperture, Aperture and vibration ring are not equipped
