Everyone had a 50mm lens on their film cameras and everyone underestimated how useful it was and it ended up in the cupboard. With digital cameras all of a sudden the 50mm lens is back in vogue and seen to be an excellent and very useful addition at a reasonable cost to anybodies camera bag.
I bought this lens a minth or so ago and on the downside its plastic but the advantages outweigh that. Its light, sharp and a great price. I use it for portrat work on my D3 but also on my D300 iyt becomes a great portrait lens with the equivilent focal length of 75mm. Very versitile.
Ok I would love to have the f1.4 but at over twice the price, its not as good value for money as this little gem.

In my view every Nikon DSLR owner should have either this or the f1.4 in his/her camera bag. The f1.8 is small,light and inexpensive and gives super image quality as well as the ability to shoot in low light without flash or other forms of studio or off camera lighting. It is ideal for portraits although some may consider it too sharp. It is a very sharp lens and some ladies may not like to have their little skin flaws exposed. I find a little Gaussian blur in Photoshop fixes that. A very nice lens well recommended.

First of all.. It is a very good prime lens for the price. No distortion, as sharp as a state of the art samurai katana!!!
Aperture and metering works very well... however, while shooting with 1.8D aperture especially under fluorescent light, the posometer of the D3000 may sometimes have errors on the light intensity calculations (I guess.. ) which sometimes results in +1+2 Exp (bright) photos. That's why I (almost) always compansate it with -Exp settings.
If you have a D40-60-3000-5000 entry level nikon... like me (D3000)... Think twice. I am really used to manual focusing with sharp aperture settings so... no problem! But If you never had to manually focus with 1.8D before... Practice first with ~100 photos... to get better and faster. If you want it to be snapshot, sorry... you need an AF-S....
Cheers!

Amazing for the price.
I am extremely pleased with this lens. As a keen amateur who has been using older lenses inherited from a non digital SLR on my D40 and D90, this lens has shown its quality. Read more

Marvellous!!
It's a marvellous piece of work. You cannot go wrong with this lens. A must have, unles of course you fancy the 50mm/f1.4 which would cost about 4 times this one. Read more

Great for portraits
This is a great lens, especially for portraits. It keeps the subject tri-dimensional and the big aperture f/1.8 allows for a nice blurred background. Read more
