A supremely lightweight lens that offers the more economical f/1.8 aperture(compared to the 50mm f/1.4 D), yet still retains the great advantages of the D distance technology. Ideal for scenery or full-length portraits. Weighs just 0.34 lb, making it great for travel while still offering excellent low light gathering properties. Stops down to f/22 for wonderful control of depth of field. Accepts 52mm filters and the HR-2 lens hood. Minimize

Revisiting the Nikon 50mm f/1.8D AF in the digital era.

Author's Rating: Rating: 5/5 stars

Pros: Very sharp throughout its range, fast focus, inexpensive, compact, light, reasonably durable.

Cons: Manual focus ring and aperture ring are poorly dampened. Otherwise, no cons for the price.

Bottom Line:
Thanks to the 1.5X crop factor of Nikon digital SLRs, this lens has come alive for me again - razor sharp, fast, light, compact, very inexpensive. Read More

Author's Rating: Rating: 5/5 stars

Pros: Lightweight, small, very sharp, bright and a bargain to boot.

Cons: None I can think of.

Bottom Line:
A great bargain in a normal lens. A Sharp, clear lens that won't break the bank (or your neck when mounted on a NIKON body). Read More

This performance for under $100 is a no-brainer

Author's Rating: Rating: 5/5 stars

Pros: Sharpness and contrast, price, better build than equivalent Canon lens

Cons: Bokeh is kinda rough, f/1.8 is too soft for use, lots of plastic

Bottom Line:
I'd love to be the one to say NOT to buy it, but seriously - for under $100 you'd be silly not too. Every photographer should carry one. Read More
