Customer Ratings & Reviews

It's my 3rd one, but not because they break easily. It's just the lens I keep on all the backup cameras. It's light, sturdy, reliable and fits in a coat pocket which yes, is a terrible way to carry a lens but if you shoot in wintertime, it's nice to know it 's sturdy enough to handle a little abuse.. In my opinion, they are a touch nicer than the F/1.8 50mm Nikon lenses and probably "worth" the added cost.

Just what I needed to get started, it is not too heavy.

Excellent lens, works great in low light environments, great detail.

Great lens. Wide open, the DOF and Bokeh are very impressive. Wondering why I waited so long to pick this lens up.

I purchased this lens to go with a new Nikon D7100. It is an amazing lens. I shoot pictures of the family and we're just getting amazing shots of our young children who NEVER stand still for the shot.

the quality on this lens is amazing! My pictures almost look 3D, I would definitely recommend this!

The sharpness and clarity of this lens is outstanding! On a full frame camera it offers a crisp image!

Pictures come out great on this lens. Awesome for most of my shooting needs. Great for low light situations.

I’m a portrait and product photographer and I absolutely LOVE this lens. I’d previously been shooting with a nice zoom lens, but this one is so much nicer. I shot in low light the other day for an infant photography session at home and the photos turned out spectacular. It really is worth the extra money to get the f/1.4 over the f/1.8!

This lense is a great portrait lense. It also has great depth of field

I can't say enough about how well this 50mm performs. My pics are amazingly sharp & sometimes even have a slightly cinematic feel. Each picture I've taken & posted on my fb page have received tons of compliments & good feedback. As I'm just beginning my photography journey to becoming a full fledged professional this is turning out to be a fantastic lens to help me reach that goal.

Cheap ultimate portrait mode and good for night pictures

For the price this is a great lens and I'd strongly recommend it over the f/1.8 version for both sharpness and distortion reasons. The distortion with the lens is easily corrected in Photoshop or Lightroom.

I upgraded to the f1.4 and really like it. Fast focus and great picture even in lower light.

Lens is easy to use. It's fast & takes great pics in low light. Can't wait to use it for action shots!

The low F-stop capability creates crisp, clear pictures

A sharp fast focusing lens. Great images with our Nikon D7500.

Very sharp and wonderful clarity! Amazing. A must have!

Purchased recently, provides super sharp detailed images along with nice depth of field.

I absolutely love this lense. I went in thinking I knew which one I wanted from my intermediate knowledge... After telling the associate what I was trying to do with my camera this is the product he suggested for me. We tried 3 lenses and I was happy with what I could see from this one. I went to the Best Buy near the Columbiana Mall in South Carolina.
