This is an awesome prime lens from Nikon. I chose this for low light for doing astronomy, ghost hunting and close up of flowers. 50 mm lens tend to be too big for group photos. Very easy to use as automatic.

I bought this lens before a trip. I liked the focal length and discovered myself using the macro a bit. It's certainly not a lens for everyone, however if you are looking for a macro lens, I recommend this.

When this lens occasionally goes on sale, I definitely recommend getting one. It allows for great macro shots. minimum distance for auto-focus is about 0.5 inches, this allows you to get in really close.
this is 40mm so it also allows you to take great portrait shots.

bought this for my wife for her birthday and her first impression is that it seems to be pretty good. You do have to be careful for what it is that you are trying to focus on as the focus depth is not very much
