Customers are saying

Customers are satisfied with the AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G Standard Lens, especially its superb image quality and pleasing bokeh effect. Many appreciate its low light performance, ease of use, and lightweight design, making it a great value for the price. Some users have noted occasional autofocus issues. Overall, the lens is well-regarded for its ability to create a shallow depth of field.

    This is a great entry level lens for both portraits and low light on a DX body. When closed down a stop or two, this lens gets really sharp. The build quality is solid and focuses fairly well. It struggles to focus with strong backlighting, though; but, everything at this price point does. (Focuses best when using center point in tough lights)

    I have had this lens for over a month and it works good. My close pictures are crisper. I bought it online, finished my coffee, dressed and drove to bestbuy and picked it up with little wait time. It was a very convenient experience.
