Nice lens
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This lens completes the package of my new DSLR. Between the standard lens and zoom that came with it, this 50mm standard lens lets me take awesome up-close shots. Best Buy was the only place locally that I could find and had a very competitive price.

Great Camera for Portraits
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This camera is really great. I love the Bokeh it produces, and the image blurr when shooting portraits. I must say, the price is not too bad for this lens. The only downside is, this lens is hard to use in indoors if your trying to shoot group portraits.

Got to love the nifty fifty!
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm just in absolute love with this. It's a great middle ground when my 85mm is a little too much and my 35 aint quite enough. It's a must add to your camera bag.

An absolute essential for any photographer's kit.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The 50mm prime lens is an essential tool for every photographer. I have always used Nikon gear for it's rugged reliability, consistency...and because they make the best glass in the business. You won't find a more versatile, "go-to" lens anywhere.

Camera bag must have
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a portrait photographers must have. 1.8 creates a beautiful soft background with very fast AF. Due note this is a prime lens so there is no zoom.
