Customer Ratings & Reviews

I had a 70-200 zoom lens that had trouble focusing. This lens works great for portraits.

Great lens for my first non kit glass. I thought not being able to zoom would be an issue but it's been easy to adjust and my pictures are beautiful!!

At first I purchased this lens trying to find something that I could take close up photography without breaking the bank and it defiantly got the job done. But the lack of zoom and being a 50mm adjustable lends it made me very limited on the distance I could be from my subject but the 1.8f definitely made up for the lack of focus adjustability

This lense is perfect for getting sharp portraits with smooth and soft backgrounds, especially with a DX camera body like the D7000. I like the 85mm outdoors, but this one is better indoors at close range.

I bought this lens recently to replace an aging and broken Nikon 50mm F/1.8 D. I never thought that my old metal body D Lens would die, but after loaning it to my apprentice I found out that they do, especially after being dropped. I was on my way to a shoot and stopped in Best Buy for extras I needed for the shoot and thought I'd give this new G Lens a shot. It has been amazing! Same optics as the older (heavier) lens, focuses super fast on both my D7000 and my D610. No errors and great right out of the box. Stop reading this review and go buy it. Simple as that!

I was iffy at first I did some reviews before I bought this lens. Ones I started taking pictures I knew I was going to love it. Very happy with this lens great lens to add to your camera

This lens is such a great addition….highly recommend!

Great lens, good bokeh, nice lowlight capability. Image size abot 75mm on a DX format camera like my D7000. Affordable price for anyone.

I️ had a kit lens that came with my camera and was looking for more clear pictures for portrait n it was between the 35m or the 50m and choose the 50 and have been glade sense

Still kind of new to taking pictures, but this lense is a must have and us easy to use. I'm still trying to enhance my skills but allows almost like a depth effect

This is a great lens for the price. I am a novice still getting use to the whole photography thing but I definitely noticed a big difference in the quality of pictures from my lens that came with my camera.

We are a group of professional beach portrait photographers and this very affordable lens is one of our favorites. And for the price you do not mind taking it on the beach!

Not a pro but someone suggested to add this to my camerabox and man what an addition ! Now every portrait is professional

Nikon makes great lenses. This one has fantastic sharpness and has come to be my go to lens. Even better than the 1.4g

I purchased this lens for taking portraits. The bokeh is very good. I use this lens on my Nikon D7000. This lens received very good reviews on numerous websites. I am very pleased with my purchase.

Nikon is the best! The Nikkor lenses make for an absolutly nubeatable match to your DSLR. This lens has worked really well for us.

This lens has really opened up my photography opportunities. It was very affordable and allows me to take beautiful and professional looking photos.

My second prime after 85mm. Was debating on 1.4 but glad went for 1.8. It's very sharp. Low light photography is not a problem anymore

I bought this as my first prime lens. I have a few zooms but wanted to add something to use more for portraits. I shot senior pictures with it and had great results.

Digital photography is great when one has the right tools. A prime lens was the mainstay in film photography. I am rediscovering its value in the digital SLR world for excellent photos.
