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.

    I just love the nifty 50 lens. It’s a lens you can use for any occasion and just leave it on your Camera and get fantastic pictures. I have other lenses or specific users but this one you can use all the time and it’s amazing. Just love this lens. Everyone needs a nifty 50.

    OK, so the meaning of the title? This is a "cheap" lens, but it takes wonderful photos. It isn't as sharp as a pro lens at 1.8 (bump up if you can, especally at f/4), but it will take some great portrait shots and action shots at the lake. Worth every penny and a must in your camera bag.

    This is a great lens, for a full frame DSLR. it's good for a cropped too, but it'll be zoomed like a 85mm or something so be aware DX users. great shallow depth of field.
