Overview
- This lens is designed to work with Nikon FX-format cameras, so if you've got one of those you're all set.
- Whether you're shooting random shots around the city, capturing the setting sun on the beach, or practicing with bokeh, you'll love using this lightweight and compact lens.
- The Silent Wave Motor gives you fast and precise autofocus, so when your kid scores the winning goal you'll be able to capture the moment with clear detail.
- Sometimes you'll want to take a more hands-on approach to focus. The lens's M/A Focus Mode Switch lets you seamlessly change between manual and autofocus.
- Enjoy top-notch optical performance with high contrast, thanks to the aspherical lens element.
- Let your creative instincts run wild by exploring different photographic techniques thanks to the minimum focusing distance of 1.48ft and the amazing depth of field control.
- The lens provides 7 elements in 6 groups with 1 aspherical lens element to reduce instances of coma and aberration, even if you're shooting wide open.
- Create more circular bokeh and establish a more natural appearance with the rounded diaphragm opening combined with the 7-blade aperture.
- Don't like lens flare and chromatic aberration? Of course you don't. This lens helps reduce those effects with Nikon's exclusive Super Integrated Coatings, which also help ensure vividly accurate colour balance.

- Amazing lens- July 24, 2015
The reason I love this lens is for the 1.8 max aperture. I find myself shooting in dim lighting situations where I need a fast shutter speed to catch moving objects. Also, when doing portrait work I've found that I get a nice blurred background with this lens too! With this lens I can achieve a great exposure without bumping up my ISO's to a crazy level just to see the image with good light. I like the 50mm lens because it forces me to try harder to get a good crop when I'm taking the photo rather than when I get to the computer and edit! You could spend double the price to get the 1.4 max aperture but I don't think it's that necessary.
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend. - Great lens for the price that should be considered- October 24, 2020
So, I love, love this lens. It’s a great buy for what it can do. I use it on my D7500, so the DX format for Nikon’s F Mount is even better because I get to use the very nice sweet spot of the glass. The DX format gives me a very nice 75mm lens for great portrait shooting. I think I need the 35mm next. LOL. Now, if you want the best, then you’ll need to fork out a bit over 2 times the cash for the 50mm f/1.4 lens. That is a much better lens for sure, but I feel this f/1.8 is a great buy for what it can do. It’s a bit lighter and it’s not weather sealed like some of the other really high end Nikon lenses that cost $1000+ to $2000+. I’m okay with that for what I get.
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend. - annoyed with best buy- January 27, 2018
Best buy your service is really bad, you have nothing in stock in store, or online ... I have have been waiting since christmas for a Nikon camera that is never in stock... now that I have purchased my camera some where else now the lenses I want are constantly out of stock in store and online :S If your mission is to make your customers shop some where else - Good Job!!! Your succeeding there!! You just lost my sale on a DSLR that was purchased else where, and now your going to lose my sale for lenses..... BEST BUY... Always out of stock the only place you can shop on line and in store and not spend a dime .
