    This has most certainly elevated my picture to another level. Still working on my composition but I’ve been able to capture some magnificent shots with this lens so far.

    I have been wanting to upgrade from the kit lens that came with Nikon D7100 (which I really like). This lens does exactly what I was after. It has met my expectations.

    The Nikon 50mm 1.8G is a fast lens and can be used for low light photography. It has no distortion or no recognizable vignetting. A superb lens, I carry it on my any type of photography.

    I bought this lens for my wife before we went to Maui. All I can say is, the stock lens’ are trash compared to this one. We use this lens 90% of the time. Even if it was $300.00 it would be worth it.

    For starters, I like the simplistic aesthetics of this lens. Focus ring is in the right spot and only one switch. Images are amazingly sharp. Focus is extremely fast. At this price, everyone should own this lens.

    I've been looking to buy this lens for a while and it was certainly worth the wait for it to come back in stock. I've gotten incredible pictures from it and it's actually my lens of choice now. Extra plus is that it's super compact and light.

    I love this lens. It is super sharp. I was using it with a nikon d7500 and it's stunning. Now I have a Z7 that works because of the adapter and it's even better.

    Excellent lens. Price point was comparable to other places, but the potential of returning it to Best Buy if there was a problem made this an ideal purchase.

    I use this lens for portrait and landscape shots. This lens does a great job getting that background blur and keeping the ISO low. Good price and great clear pictures.

    Lens For That Special Photograph

    If you bought the Nikon D5500 kit with the 18-55mm lens you really need this unless you need the faster f-stop which gives a shallow depth of field for that perfect portrait. If so, yes I recommend this

    I am a beginning amateur photographer and was looking to get a good portrait lens - this definitely fit the bill! Love the bokeh, glad I didn't pay for a super expensive lens as this does everything I need.

    A friend told me about this lens and let me borrow theirs. I was hooked after using it. The bokeh effect in the background is great. I use it with my Nikon D3400. I will get a lot of use with this lens.
