Customer Ratings & Reviews

It's a great starter lens for portraits which lets you take amazing photos and close up shots. I am using it with my Nikon D series camera and it works pretty well. Happy with purchase

Decided to get new lens before changing to a different slr. Wanted the blurred/bokeh background. After purchasing this (in store) I was excited to test it out. Love it! Looks like I’ll keep the d3100 ( yes, I know, VERY old) for another year or 2.

This was my first lens at a fixed focal length and I wish I purchased it sooner. Crisp shots taken with dim indoor lighting. Having a 1.8 aperture makes a huge difference. I am not a big fan of flash photography (especially around babies) so this allows a wider range of shots that come out excellent without the blinding flash. Autofocus was reliable when selected. Great addition to my gear.

It's a must pick up, great depth of field and great for easy use

Great Value, light weight and produces excellent results. Love it!

Absolutely perfect for low light situations. Flawless results!

Camera lens works great. Great for portraits. Price was good as well

Great lens for people shots. Very pleased with the quality of the lens and the shots it takes. Arrived well packaged and on time. Great Ajob Best Buy!!

This was my first prime lens purchase. Using on a Nikon d5200 crop sensor . Great lens for the price . Best sharpness at around 2.5f to about 7f. Great broken for portraits too. Most of my photography is landscapes and nature. Not as wide of a lens as I would like for landscape work but you can't go wrong with this for most everything else.

This is a very enjoyable lens to use. It performs well In low light and renders a wonderful bokeh when shooting wide open. I recommend it. Great great value!!

We shoot expensive product for our Web Site. This lens and the many other ones that we have enable us to get the right shot for the Web Site. The Best Buy Sales People knew exactly which lens to show us. We purchased 5 of them and they were so right. Now we have all of the right lens to shoot the shots that will make us money.

Great lens, great price. Highly recommend the Nifty Fifty!

I took the best picture of my life whit it!!! easy to use and a great Price!!!!

I love the quality of the photos I get with this lens. The photos are super crisp. Would recommend.

Unbelievable lense, great pics and can't go wrong with the F1.8 and price

This is a great lens, especially for the price. Images are tack sharp and the 1.8 allows shooting in lower light situations. Autofocus is fast with the lens. Used mostly for indoor sports pics, but versatile enough to just about anything. Of course, it's a prime, so you zoom with your feet.

This is my first prime lens purchase after previously working with the kit lenses that came with my camera. Really impressed with the quality of the photos I’m able to get with this lens and it makes me wants to keep practicing and eventually purchase the 85mm prime lens.

I have 15 different Nikon lenses, and this is by far my favorite. The clarity of the images is out of this world.

Must have in lens in your stable. It's lightweight, takes great portrait photos, good bokeh effects, etc. Overall, the build of the lens is pretty nice. I'd highly recommend getting this!

I bought this along with my first Nikon d7000 and I couldn't be happier with the quality of my photos. This is an ideal lens for taking those "bokkeh" photos that characterize many artistic photographs -- that is, the object will be in sharp focus while backgrounds are heavily blurred.
