    5.0 out of 5 stars Nikon f1.8 - Low Cost Class Glass 23 May 2010
    Amazon Verified Purchase
    I've paired the AF Nikkor f1.8 50mm with a Nikon D300 giving a lens of roughly 80mm focal length and the combination is superb. The auto focussing and exposure operation are faultless. The body of the lens is plastic but the mount engagement and lens retaining parts are all metal. The focal lengths and f-stops are neatly painted onto the plastic barrel; with a lot of use these are likely to wear off eventually but at the low price for this lens that's a minor niggle.

    There's a small slider switch on the body that allows fixing or releasing of the f-stop ring, its default position is f22 for automatic operation. On a modern digital its unlikely you'll find too much use for this but when operating fully manual it'll be just like an old mechanical camera, twist and shoot. The front lens element its heavily recessed in the mount so the chance of sun flare is very low without a lens hood. It comes with the superbly practical Nikon lens cap fitting into a 52mm screw mount.

    Image quality and colour rendition are faultless - even if you have a zoom lens this is a great buy for portraits and getting out and about all day long with a lightweight combo that doesn't give you shoulder ache

    5.0 out of 5 stars a classic "must have" 16 July 2009
    By Graham TOP 500 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
    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.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The Nifty Fifty! 29 Mar 2009
    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.

    5.0 out of 5 stars 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

    5.0 out of 5 stars 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

    5.0 out of 5 stars 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
