Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is a fantastic, affordable lens. I was looking for something to take low-light photos of my home renovation projects and dogs. This does the trick. It draws in so much light creating beautiful, "golden hour" type photos. A great addition to any amateur photographer's lens collection.

I am talking wonderful pictures with this new Len. I will buy another.

Definitely my favorite lens! Amazing for portraits!!

I have the 35mm and 50mm this is the 2nd 50mm 1.8 lens I purchase for my FX camera

Takes very good depth of field portrait pictures and even close ups.

Amazing clarity! It’s my first 50mm lens and I love it for street shooting. I did some astrophotography with it and other shooting and it performed well. I’ll include some photos I did with it (not edited).

If you shot anything,you need this 50mm. It is a go to lens and has what you need for everyday. Everyone needs a Nifty Fifty.

My first purchase of lens besides the lens's that already came with my camera purchase. Out of all 3 this one is my fav.. nice clear crisp pics!

This lens is amazing. I've been using aperture priority.

I usually have lens that I can move and focus in and out of with regards to distance, so this lens will take a little getting used to since there is only one distance where you are at. The lens, with my D3100 has taken excellent close up pictures, with excellent clarity. I have at the moment only shoot in Auto mode as I get use to Apertures and F stops, but this lens is an excellent portrait lens for my camera. No issues at all.

This lens is hard to beat for the price tag. Although if you're on a dx body the focal length might be a little long for indoor photos.

Just YES! Awesome lens! This lens is a must have. I don’t even want anything else now.

This is a great lens for portraits, not really made for high action.

A great lens for wider angles . Great for lower light conditions

Great for portraits and close up objects, im a begginer and i love it

Biggest bang for the buck - great prime for portrait photos !!

This is a great lens for beginners. It takes good silhouettes as well.

This lense works perfectly and takes great pictures.

This lense is very good for street and portrait photography.

This is my first lens...like one I actually bought my self. I've been using my fathers Nikon D90 with a 18-105mm lens....this is so much easier to use for portraits. The depth of field is great but if you want something stronger move up to the 80mm lens. This is a great lens to start out with. I recommend it and I can't wait for my D750 to get here in the mail so I can slap it on that bad boy. The price is good and I can't recommend this lens anymore. The one of the most import a investments for a photographer is the glass and this is worth every penny. Stop reading and buy it!!
