[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The best bang for your buck anywhere. This nifty fifty at just over $200 is an absolute steal. They are practically giving it away at that price. It is a very fast lens. It is light which gives you the impression it’s not well made, but it is actually a very tough lens. Comes with a lens hood. Crisp images. Perfect creamy bokeh. I use it almost exclusively for portraits now but it can be used for many things. Does very well in lowlight. Does have a bit of a sound when it auto focuses but that is water under the bridge considering how amazing this lens is. It’s worth at least 2 times what it costs.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am not photographer I shot this with my d5600 and with 50mm made pic look even better wasn’t good enough light but got it sharp and clear also I shot it in raw so I am very happy with this lens and I have no idea why some people give this lens bad review it’s not zoom lens so yes if you don’t understand what prime lens door buy it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Amazing clarity! It’s my first 50mm lens and I love it for street shooting. I did some astrophotography with it and other shooting and it performed well. I’ll include some photos I did with it (not edited).

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] great 50mm lens. Very clear and sharp! Produces some great images!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Before this lens, I'd always have my heavy 18-140mm attached to my camera, but since purchasing this lens, it's my MAIN go to lens and is 95% of the time the one I've got on my camera. It's very light and my neck doesn't ache after an hour long shoot. I opted to go with the 1.8G vs the 1.4G for price but I am so SO happy that I went with the 1.8G. The crisp pictures and depth of field is beautiful! The bokah is incredible and I just absolutely love this lens. Being a portrait photographer, this is an essential lens to have! I have an 85mm as well that I love for senior pictures and close up head shots, but for couples, small families, and just everyday shooting, this is the lens for you!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my first lens...like one I actually bought my self. I've been using my fathers Nikon D90 with a 18-105mm lens....this is so much easier to use for portraits. The depth of field is great but if you want something stronger move up to the 80mm lens. This is a great lens to start out with. I recommend it and I can't wait for my D750 to get here in the mail so I can slap it on that bad boy. The price is good and I can't recommend this lens anymore. The one of the most import a investments for a photographer is the glass and this is worth every penny. Stop reading and buy it!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Immediately, I fell in love with this , camera lenses right after purchase, I’ve captured some nice photos with it since and I use this lens more then any other one I currently own right now. Exactly product, very pleased with the purchase.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just YES! Awesome lens! This lens is a must have. I don’t even want anything else now.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Nikon AF-S Nikkor 50mm f/1.8G prime lens is an awesome lens. It is pin sharp and produces good color resolution. It is too long to be a standard lens on a DX body, but works well for portraits. Of course, it is a bit short for portraits on an FX body, but then it could be used as a standard lens on an FX. I bought this lens mainly for portraits, but it is on my camera for most of the time as it is such a great lens. Apart from the sharpness and the clarity, it renders the out of focus areas nicely as well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wish my Nikon D3100 kit came with this lens instead of those kit/travel zoom lenses (18-55 and 55-200mm). Because it is a fixed focal length lens, the only way to compose your shots is by moving your camera about. It promotes you to think about your composition before you snap away at your subject. This lens works great in low light and it renders nice Bokeh in the background! It is actually made for an full frame camera body, so if I ever "need" to upgrade to an FX body, I don't have to buy new 50mm lens.
