Digital camera reviews of Nikon 50mm f/1.8D AF Nikkor Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras
Digital camera Review: Autofocus doesn't work with older Nikon DSLRs
Summary: 3 Stars
The auto-focus in this lens does not work with older Nikon DSLR's, such as the D40x. Apreture settings will work, but I have to use the manual focus ring. Having said this, I am otherwise please with its performance.Digital camera Review: Awesome
Summary: 5 Stars
All the other 5 star reviews are absolutely right. I'm glad I listened to them. This has been a much appreciated addition to my lens collection. If you're on the fence about buying it, just buy it.Digital camera Review: Awesome Lens
Summary: 5 Stars
There are no words to describe how awesome this lens is. I personally recommend everyone have one, no matter what other lenses they have, period. The optics of a prime lens are automatically superior to a zoom lens, and boy does it show in this product. It's a very fast lens, with very nice optics, at a decent focal length, for a GREAT price - what more could you ask for?
I should also mention that it is very well built and very sturdy with a metal contact mount. You can FEEL how quality this lens versus newer VR lenses made of plastic. It also has an aperture ring and distance scales, very cool indeed.
Word of caution: Because this lens is not AF-S (to reduce cost) it will not autofocus on a Nikon D40 or (I think) a D60. The VR version is several hundred dollars more, which sucks, so I would personally recommend you get this lens anyway and just deal with having to manual focus all the time. That's your problem for being short sighted and not buying a camera with a motor I guess.
Bottom Line: Buy this lens. You won't regret it.
Digital camera Review: Awesome Lens
Summary: 5 Stars
Been looking at this lens for almost a year now since my Parents got me a D50 for my Birthday last year around this time. I have seen and read nothing but great things about this lens and this is THE one to have for quality AND "Bang for the Buck". It is all that and more now that the Parents have come through, yet again, as this year's birthday present. I couldn't be happier, with them or the lens:) Thanks, folks! and thanks Nikon.
Digital camera Review: Awesome Lens to own
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this lens because a classmate recommended it to me. It is super fast and sharp. Sometimes in low light it searches to focus in on the subject, but once focused this lens delivers high quality pictures. I have a D-80 and I bought it with the kit lens 18-135mm but the pictures just aren't as razor sharp as this baby. I highly highly recommend this lens. Nikon did an awesome job with this lens. Its cheap and affordable, and it delivers awesome pictures.
