    Great first lens to buy and upgrade from the kit lens. It's not the sharpest at times, but it gets the job done. For the price, this is one of the best lenses you can upgrade to from the kit lens if you're using the Nikon System. Don't be afraid of it being a Prime lens either, move your feet to get your shot!

    APS-C? Can't beat this lens for the price

    Awesome little lens. Tack Sharp stopped down a bit, but not bad wide open either. My only complaints are in reference to build quality and the lack of a manual override on the autofocus. But, for under $200, it is only slightly more expensive than the venerable 50mm f/1.8 AF-D and you get a full AF-S.

    Only One Problem

    I like the lens and have been using it more than the other lenses since I got it. I do have one problem that may not be common since I haven't seen anyone else complain. The lens hood does not stay securely attached. Luckily, I check it routinely since I first discovered this, but during use, sometimes the hood is barely hanging on.
