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.

    Most would know what to expect from a lens like this. Auto focus works great and to the point. Works great with my Nikon 7200. Average price with this lens.

    I was checking for a normal prime 50mm lens for my Nikon D750 and decided on the AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8 G Standard lens over the f/1.4 G Standard lens because I couldn't justify the extra cost.

    I use the lens literally for almost every photo shoot I do. It is extremely clear. Love the f/1.8G, it really helps blur out areas you might not want seen.

    Used this lens the majority of the time while shooting my first wedding. Photos turned out great. Would say...this is not the lens to use for action shots. Overall great product!

    I already knew what I was getting with this lens. I am not a professional photographer. This lens will be used solely home/personal use. The lens is fast, great blur effect in portrait.

    You can do so many things with a 50mm lens (They don't call it the "nifty fifty" for nothing!) and I would recommend one to anyone looking to beef up their camera bag. (This is for my D3400)

    We purchased this lense to have the blurring effect in the background while focusing on the subject of the picture entirely. It works perfectly and is even good for some long distance shots.

    I bought this lens to shoot portraits with my Nikon D3300. I chose this lens bc I'll also be able to use it on my full frame body. I'm very happy with it, the quality of my photos is great.
