    I've been using this on my D810 for street, indoor and portrait photography. It is fast focusing and tack sharp. You can't go wrong with this lens.

    Can't beat the lens for the price. Excellent for mid-range architectural shots, portraits, and shallow depth of field. FYI, you will need to move your feet to get the shot - no zoom. Awesome bokeh. I can't see spending the extra cach for .4 f-stop.

    The Nikon 50mm lens is a great lens for shooting portraits. It allows a closer range of your subject and photos come out clear.

    This is the first 50mm lens I have. After watching several videos to see if this was the lens for me, I bought it. I thought the quality and the sharpness would be better. But the depth effect is great. You can take beautiful pictures that you obviously can not take with a kit lens.

    This is a great quality lens. Had a hard time choosing between this 50mm lens and the 35mm. I'll probably buy the 35mm as well

    While I'm still playing with this lens it is a good prime lens - the first prime I've owned - and I'm definitely liking the results. Tack sharp!
