Customer Ratings & Reviews

I was torn between the Nikkor 35mm and 50mm prime lenses and purchased each to try on my Nikon D3300. After a careful review of both lenes, I found the 35mm to be more suitable for my photographic needs. I returned the 50mm lens with no problem and explained to the customer service representative that Best Buy should have the camera display set up so that the consumer can test both the cameras and the lenes before purchase. The Nikon D3300 and Nikkor 50mm lens are both high quality. The display and selection process still needs tweaking.

Is good especially for bokeh. I have a crop camera so for my use of better for outdoor.

I have two other lenses for my Nikon camera and this one complements them. Each serves different purpose and this one is good for inside, low light portraits.

I passed my first DSLR, a Nikon D3200, on to my daughter and with it I gave her the first prime lens I ever bought: the 50 mm f/1.8G. I didn't realize how much I missed it, so I went ahead and bought this one to go with my Nikon D810.

I love this lens especially to take pictures of my son. I chose this as my first lens based on many reviews and articles I read.

Great lens! I love the crisp images it gives me. It's great for taking pictures of my little girl and really captures details well.

Good Lens for night photos, It can get details in photos without using of flash.

Portraits of my kids are incredible with this lens. Love the depth.

This is a fixed lens (no zoom) lens and it takes great portrait photos. We researched which lenses to buy on youtube and saw some of the pics people were taking with this lens. Especially for this price range you cant beat it!!

Wife loves it amazing lens took her a bit to get used to it but now she rocks with it

I’m a photographer and this lens is a perfect for portraits such as engagement photos, senior photos, family photos, etc. The low f-stop makes for great blurred backgrounds when needed. I love this lens! It’s one of the main ones I use.

This lens takes great quality pictures for the price. If you need something in this focal range, give it a try.

as above, needed one of better quality. It is a good basic lens to have in my bag. Sometimes it is the only one I need

Used it couple of times to take pictures of my kids...and pictures are excellent..No issues so far... satisfied with the purchase.

very good and affordable for a person on a budget , that is just starting out in the field and cant afford the faster lens prices

For the price you can't buy a better Nikon lens for taking portraits. This lens works wonders in low light.

This 50mm lens works great with Nikon D5500 DSLR. It shoots awesome portraits with bokeh effect. Excellent pick for this price.

Bought this for my wife's birthday. She claims this is the best lens for portraits. She's very happy with the results to this point.

Bought this lens for my daughter for Christmas. She is beginning doing photography for her friends.. and others. I hope this will be a nice addition to her camera , and help make her photography even better.

still trying to get used to this 'fixed' lens. i bought it for the ease and comfort of having a single lens and not having to lug around my 18-105 mm heavier lens. so far i am happy with my purchase, but i need to keep practicing and getting used to the distance/depth factor. i brought it to vegas and had a hard time adjusting to the distance/depth factor at first. but then i was able to take some pictures once i stopped looking for the telephoto zoom lens! i plan to take this lens with me on vacation again soon so i can play around with it.
