Customer Ratings & Reviews

You may need to play with the AF micro adjust to get this lens finely tuned in to get optimal performance, but once you do it is a stunner. Very sharp even fairly open, but stop it down to f5.6 to f8 for landscapes and it produces great images.

Classic lens, great quality! Easy Buy at a good store.

This is a portrait photographers must have. 1.8 creates a beautiful soft background with very fast AF. Due note this is a prime lens so there is no zoom.

One of my favorite budget lenses that matches perfectly with my Nikon d780 . I’ve bought other lenses but seem to use this one the most. Love it

Purchased my Nikon D3300, and this lens for taking photos of my newborn. This lens is my favorite to use while taking up close photos with background defocus for the perfect photo

Good solid prime lens. Also tested the 1.4 but for my needs, the 1.8 was a better fit and value.

The Lens is good. I was able to take lots of great Portraits

I have been wanting this lens for some time now and finally got it. It fits nicely on my Nikon D7000. I think it will work on the older D80 too. I love backward compatibility.

have had this for not even a year yet and it's basically my go-to lens especially for portrait photography. no issues with it. it's perfect for traveling as well. :)

I bought this and the 55mm. I prefer this one as I have more room to work with in tight spaces. Works great, but I recommend a polarized filter if you go to museums to reduce glare.

the lens is at reasonable price. I noticed shaky pictures but it maybe the camera not the lens

It was a gift for my cousin and he really love it, it was the one he was looking for

Nothing like a Nikon product. Very nice materials and nice pouch to keep it safe from scratches. Perfect lens for all around photos!

Great lens for entry level photographer at a reasonable price.

I found what I was looking for: the lenses and a very fast delivery

Had a problem with the lens fitting (machining issues) bestbuy replaced immediately and all is well, as for Nikkor there's not much to say, they are the best chunk of glass you can get for Nikon cameras.

Wonderful lens, great for shooting friends and family portraits, especially on my Nikon d3400 crop sensor. The 50mm on my camera is equivalent to a 75mm.

Expensive but nice Enjoyed it Just too expensive for me. I'd rather spend more and get the 24-70 and use it more

I love this for portrait photography. It's a needed lens in any photographers tool box. If you want something for close close up pics however this is not the one.

Bought this to use for my personal projects. Love it.
