Digital camera reviews of Nikon 50mm f/1.8D AF Nikkor Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras
Digital camera Review: 50mm 1.8D Nikkor AF
Summary: 4 Stars
My favorite lens its picture quality and compact size.
In a DX camera you will be looking into a 75mm 1.8; You couldn't find a better portrait lens!!
Build quality is below average. The lens barrel feels plasticky and flimsy - the "Made in China" tag seems to explain all.
Fortunately the picture quality seems pretty good.
At this price - this is a steal!!

Very good fixed lens from Nikkor. Would recommend for anyone looking for a normal lens for portraits, etc.Digital camera Review: 50mm f1.8 + D80 = Bliss
Summary: 5 Stars
This lens is sharp, Sharp, SHARP!! And TINY!!
I just took it shooting on a trip to Arizona and came out with some amazing shots, including beautiful sunsets and amazing portraits. It focuses very quickly for an AF lens, and it performs astounding in low light. Because it is so sharp, when I need to boost my ISO up to around 1600, I still end up with great detail (and knock out some of the noise in Lightroom).
On another note, if you are thinking of using this for a serious portrait lens, only use it for torso shots or wider. Get the 85mm f1.8 (only about two hundred dollars more) because it has a better compression factor for more natural looking shots.

When I bought my Nikon D80, the lenses that came with it were the 18-55mm and 55-200mm, but until I bought this lens I hadn't realized I was missing out on so much better pictures! Basically I bought the lens because it was the cheapest one I could find, but only after reading all the reviews and tech specs. I like this lens a lot, and think that it should come standard with the nikon cameras. The only thing I don't like about it is sometimes the Automatic focus acts strangely, but I like using it on Manual anyways. Also recommend if you buy any lens that you keep a clear filter on it.Digital camera Review: A Basic Tool

I purchased this for my daughter who is learning photography and started with a D60 and 18-55 kit lens. It doesn't autofocus on her camera, but having quickly learned the advantages of wide apertures, the ability to shoot in low light without flash, and the difference between razor-sharp and 'sharp enough,' she rarely takes it off her camera. If your interest in photography goes beyond point-and-shoot, there's no better place to start than with a high-quality 50 mm lens like this one - especially at the price. It's no fault of the lens that it doesn't autofocus on the the D60 and D40. Nikon's decision to move away from backward compatibility between its entry-level bodies and non-motorized lenses is unfortunate for those interested in learning the craft of photography.
