Digital camera reviews of Nikon 50mm f/1.8D AF Nikkor Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras
Digital camera Review: 100% Satisfied
Summary: 5 Stars
Amazing lens, especially for the money! I am a professional artist and I do a lot of street photography. I have already used the lens with my D100 on several trips and couldn't be happier with the results.Digital camera Review: 5 Star lens
Summary: 5 Stars
I read an article on this lens in my professional photography magazine and decided to give it a go. It gives really clear pictures and I have enjoyed having it added to my collection.Digital camera Review: 5 Stars...? 10Stars would be appropriate........
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the first 50mm lens in my DSLR arsenal (purchased approx a year ago). I have only ONE WORD FOR IT....AWESOME!!!!. The quality of pictures taken by this lens is amazing. Its compact and light weight. Every Picture taken with this lens gets a WOW. Very satified with this lens.......(attached 7 pictures using this lens-customer images- Green-Green,Fragrance,Crystal ROSE,Spices,chocolate,Krackel,APPLE)Digital camera Review: 50MM D is made in China. Do not confuse with the old 50MM built in Japan
Summary: 2 Stars
This Chinese lens [...] is as cheap as its construction quality. I'm amazed that nikon would walk down to this path. I guess the competition is hurting Nikon. This is a consumer lens, If you are an amateur then I think it's fine to have one in your bag. I don't know if a professional would rely in something so "flimsy".
Stopped down at f/1.8 pictures are so soft that, in my opinion, it defeats the purpose of carrying a fast lens. The one I got was little "stick" to mount, what surprised me. I returned it after running some tests.
Tests were run using a D200.
Pros:
- Fast.
- Sharpness will improve when stopped down at f/2.8 and +
- Good for portrait
- Bokeh is OK but I didn't find it extraordinary like some people in here found.
- If your camera's sensor is DX sized then the focus will be about 75mm, meaning you'll have to move farther from the the subject. If you really looking for a prime go for the 28mm or a zoom.
Cons:
- stopped dow at f/1.8 it was really soft. I focused on the model's right eye and the left eye was so soft that the photo was unusable
- Cheap construction. The rear cap is a joke. I can't image a screw in rear cap adding more than a couple dollars to the cost and it would really protect the lens.
- It will not auto focus in some cameras (Check nikousa.com)
If money is not a problem, I would suggest the f/1.4 G. Otherwise try places like Amazon market or EBAY or Craig list for a 50mm f/1.8 made in Japan (this is non D) they are built like a tank and last forever and for about the same price [...]
Digital camera Review: 50mil devil
Summary: 5 Stars
It is really light and made for low-light situations. I enjoy that i can just shove it down my pocket and go out with one other lens. Situation changes? bam, 1,2,3 change and this 1,8 will help in most of dark places. I dont mean night-like darkness for shooting formulas, but inside a room, friends by the table or for portrait in studio.
I use it on my D300 without any problem. Also got retractable screw-on rubber hood. Works all fine :)
