    I am not an expert and this is my first prime lens. I bought this lens for astrophotography and it performs excellently. It is has a solid feel and is well made. In my opinion, it would work well with all facets of photography. Well pleased.

    Good lens

    We originally purchased this lens in manual focus only. Keep in mind we are near amateurs, and this was our first lens other than the kit lens. We took it back because it was too hard to use. This lens worked great and did what it was supposed to do.

    Good product purchased at a resonable price form Best Buy. The benefit of this product was the ablity to access fast autofocusing along with an integrated lens coating to deliver.

    Nikon - AF-S NIKKOR 50mm 1:1.8 G

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The lens works exactly as advertised. Quick, sure shot of object with no out of focus (Set as auto) issues to speak of. I have only shot in AF so far. The only issue I am having with the lens is not being able to easily put onto the camera body. There is a little resistance there, but I only think that is due to the lens being new. I use a D3100 and so far, very happy.

    I bought it for the bokeh effect and love it for the clarity and vividness of colors. I feel it gave my 5100 an upgrade. Great autofocus compatibility.
