Customers are saying

Customers have good things to say about the product's superb image quality, pleasing bokeh, and strong low light performance. Many also appreciate its ease of use, lightweight design, and suitability for portrait photography due to its good shallow depth of field, especially considering its price. The only notable concern raised by a small number of customers is an occasional issue with autofocus.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

The vast majority of our reviews come from verified purchases. Reviews from customers may include My Best Buy members, employees, and Tech Insider Network members (as tagged).

    Wanted a lens more suitable for lower light levels so as not to have to use either internal or external flash units. With this f/1.8 maximum aperture, this allows me to use more of existing light levels without either having to boost ASA settings or to extend exposure times.

    This is probably one of Nikon's best lenses. Is a prime lens, is 50mm, is f1.8, and is not too expensive. Is just perfect.
