Customer Ratings & Reviews

I'm getting back into photography and wanted a 50mm lense as a general use lense. For the price you can't beat this. Are there better options, yes but they cost 2-3 times as much. I've been taking a lot of photos and have not been disappointed.

The lens is well crafted and easy to use on my Nikkon camera body

Not sure why I have waited so long to purchase this lens. What a difference it has made in the quality of the photographs that I take. It has definitely been a game changer. Best Buy has a fabulous price on this lens too!

I bought a Nikon d5600 with two kit lenses. I researched a lot and knew I wanted a nice prime lens to go with it. This is it and has become my go-to. I will be adding more but this is great for my current needs.

I have a Nikon D5300 and I bought this lens for portrait photographs. D5300 is has DX camera body (the crop ratio is 1.5). This lens is great especially in Aperture mode. I stopped using my other lenses for family snaps. I am happy with the purchase.

I bought this for my Nikon D 3400. It is a much better lens than the kit lens that comes with the camera. Super sharp images and the price is right. On the D3400 it is equivalent to a 75mm lens so it makes a great portrait lens.

Got this to go with my son's Nikon Camera kit from last year. He takes a ton of portraits and group pics. He was on The Bachelorette a couple of years ago, James Taylor, and he absolutely loves this lens!!!

As an amateur photographer, this lens makes it easy to control depth of field and exposure for the effects that I want with closeups and portraits. Best low-light solution that I have ever used. I use it with a D3300 camera and I am very pleased.

Overall I am very happy with this product. I think it's a great price and it has become my main lense for my portraits. I would recommend this to other amateur photographers.

I bought this lens for portrait photography and it does excellent for that. I also use for overall photos like macro. I know there is lenses for that but it's just a hobby for me at this time and this lens isn't too expensive. It's recommended for sure.

Purchased this with the Nikon D750. Phenomenal performance and at an excellent price compared to the 50mm f1.4, if you're debating between the two, have no qualms about going with this less expensive lens for your daily needs!

the nifty fifty lens, pretty much standard 50mm lens. every manufacturer has one are for the money they can't be beat. The only other 50mm option is the F1.4 and that is around 3 times the price. You won't be disappointed with this lens.

I was looking for a prime lens and decided on this one. It's been great from the start. It fits the mount nice and tight, real fast auto focus and captures super sharp images in real low light. Very happy so far!

As pretty much anyone will tell you - this is a fantastic, cheap, fun lens to own. Once you start to get used to your camera, and want an upgrade to a better lens - this is a great one to pick up.

I've been wanting one of these lenses for a while and I'm glad I finally made the investment. It's been especially great for video - a more recent hobby of mine - but absolutely perfect for the low-light environments in which I tend to shoot for nighttime events, parties.

Great lens for beginner to pro photographer. While the aperture is not as good as its big bro, it's still a fantastic lens at a great price

The f.8 aperature allows for great background blur, especially for DX cameras. Gives tack sharp results. Perfect portrait lens for DX which gives you a field of view equivalent to a 75mm. I highly recommend having this part of your collection!

Haven’t had a big portrait Shoot yet but what I’ve seen so far is that this lens is sharp. I paired it with the z50 and an FTZ adapter and let me say no value lost.

This lens is perfect for the price. the 35mm and 85mm versions are way pricier. Amazing sharpness and you would expect to pay more.

This lens is simply sharp. (for the price!!! )I took it around New York city and the 50mm focal length range was perfect for just about every location. I have an 85 and that's great for portrait but the 50 fits more scenarios.
