Customer Ratings & Reviews

A good lens, not quite as good as the 50mm F/1.4, but about half the price. Light weight for easy carrying and focus is fast. Quality Nikon product.

This is a fantastic lens. It produces gorgeous portraits with beautiful bokeh, and performs very well in low light.

This is a high quality, low-light, FX lens for a great price. There isn't a much better value for a prime lens than this one from Nikon.

Extremely silent motor. Extremely fast focus. Provides a very nice soft smooth blur under high aperture. Great lens. Good weight and does not feel cheap

I have been using this lens for portrait photography and wedding photography. Best buy had it for a great price, and the gentleman working told me to come back for classes if I need to. This is a great addition to my lens collection, and in general.

This lens redefined how I composed my shots. The shallow depth of field is so good and bokeh is excellent

This lens is amazing. I love the fact that it has autofocus and it yields high quality photos and video for an affordable price.

This lens is good Good shallow depth of field and the photo are sharper than my kit lenses My first prime lens and i am liking it so far

The lens is good for taking pictures in environment that lack lighting. It is easy to use and is durable. You do not need to be a professional to use it.

Sharp fast lens. When you open wide the aperture to 1.8 or 2.8, you have very nice blur background. Love it.

This is the lens that everyone says should be your first lens after the kit, and they are right. It's way sharper than a standard zoom lens, and it's a good length for a lot of different kinds of shooting. On a crop sensor body, it's going to get you pretty close, sometimes too close for indoor shooting, which is a shame because I much prefer it to my zoom. I can instantly look at the level of detail in one of my photos and tell you which lens I was using. This lens sees things that the other one just doesn't capture. I highly recommend it for the very affordable price.

This is a great starter Portrait lens. It creates a good bokeh for the price and captures light well in low light situations.

Perfect quality for the price, I love this lens. Easy to use with excellent results

I am beginners in the world of DLSR/Lenses , this was my first lens ever i brought. I brought this lens to do photo shoot of my new born and lens did good job as expected. I am still learning how to get best out for the lens. This lens is awesome for closeup, i m beginners so i need little time like 20-30 sec to focus lens correctly to take photo, if you are planning out door trip like going NY or DC to day trip this lens might not be good fit as this is good fit for closeup and portrait.

bought this lens on recommendation from online photo site,it's fairly fast and sharp,perfect for close portraits and great bokeh

I absolutely love these lens! I get super sharp photos and excellent in low light. I use these for almost everything.

Amateur photographer- i.e. I take pics of my grandkids. Great photos out of the box...great, easy to use lens!

This is a great prime lense able to capture the beautiful blur shot as well as defining portraits.
