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.

    Overall the lens does the work for you. All you really have to do is point shoot. As I learn how to use other features the quality should improve.

    I use this reference lens as my daily driver on my Nikon D7100 and I have to say that I haven't been disappointed one bit! The clarity is excellent and the auto focus helps keep the Nikon ready at all times. I am really glad that I sprung for this.

    A workhorse, great for everything from portraits to groups. It is very inexpensive for the quality it is one of my favorite lenses, and it hardly ever comes off my camera.

    This lens when paired with an FX Nikon camera, generates a photographic art with the created images. It's also great with its low-light capabilities. I'm waiting for the perfect night thunderstorm event to capture with this system!

    This lens is great. Nice and sharp. I take a lot of car photos and its perfect. The Only thing is the autofocus is very noticeable. But for the price, it’s an amazing value.

    My wife had just the standard lens that came with her D5100. She has been wanting a lens to start to dabble in macro shots and this has worked perfectly. We used it all Christmas and New Years and it was great. Price was good and it adds to her previous lens very well.

    Good glass. Clear. Slow focus, but accurate. Light weight, plastic like, but seems durable.

    I love this new lense. I wanted a 50mm lense from Nikon for awhile and now that I got one my photos and videos haven’t looked better. I was using a kit lense and this is a huge step up from what I was using and I love it.
