Fantastic lens!!!!
|Posted .Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.I’ve been doing photography for over 8 years now and I have a variety of lens in my bag. This lens here is the best lens for the money. The focus is always spot on and the depth of field is amazing. I needed a 50 in pinch so I grabbed one at Best Buy. I had the 50 1.4 but sold it to get the 85. Even after shooting with the 85 and 100mm, this lens did fantastic! It was great for the family shots I took. It is so sharp!!!!!! Honestly, for as cheap as this lens is, it is definitely one of the best!

Amazing Lens
|Posted .Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.The best bang for your buck anywhere. This nifty fifty at just over $200 is an absolute steal. They are practically giving it away at that price. It is a very fast lens. It is light which gives you the impression it’s not well made, but it is actually a very tough lens. Comes with a lens hood. Crisp images. Perfect creamy bokeh. I use it almost exclusively for portraits now but it can be used for many things. Does very well in lowlight. Does have a bit of a sound when it auto focuses but that is water under the bridge considering how amazing this lens is. It’s worth at least 2 times what it costs.

Q: QuestionIs this lens compatible with a Nikon - D3400? it is not the same as the 18-55mm G VR and 70-300mm G ED Lenses that the camera comes with right?
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer Yes, the Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G lens is completely compatible with the Nikon D3400 DSLR camera, as are AF-P and E-type lenses. Any of these lenses can utilize a built-in motor which allows the lens to autofocus; AF-S type lenses use a Silent Wave Motor, AF-P type lenses use a pulse motor (utilizing stepping motors) and E-type lenses have an electromagnetic diaphragm to maintain consistent exposure during high-speed capture using the Silent Wave Motor.
