    I love this Nikon Nifty 50. This is a must-have for any kit and the quality is equal to the more expensive 50 mm models.

    I'm not a great photographer but this lens certainly helps! If you've ever wondered how people take those professional looking pictures with the blurred background, the right lens makes all the difference. I bought my D90 a few years ago and have been happy with the zoom lens it came with. On the suggestion of a friend, I got this 50mm lens and been very happy with the quality photos it takes. The only drawback, if any, is getting use to physically moving back and forth to get the subject of my photos framed the way I like (unlike a zoom), other than that, I would highly recommend this product.

    I like this lens. I'm relatively new to photography and a friend recommended I get this lens. I like the way the pictures comes out and the bokeh is just awesome.

    The clarity of the photos, including in low light conditions. Field of view is limited. Unless you want just the face or some other small item, you have to stand well far back
