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 bought this lens to shoot portraits with my Nikon D3300. I chose this lens bc I'll also be able to use it on my full frame body. I'm very happy with it, the quality of my photos is great.

    Absolutely love this lens! This is my go-to! This lens produces great photos! Just remember that it is a prime lens and not a zoom lens.

    I purchased this as a gift for my wife, she loves it. She uses it for close up shots. It is the lens to get for a Nikon.

    Was looking for a lens to use with my D500 for indoors photos. With the f/1.8G and the D500 I have no need for a flash. I have been very pleased with the performance of this lens.

    An excellent base lens. Fast, with quality optics. I’ve gotten some great photos of grandkids playing hockey and family portraits during the holidays.

    I was hesitant buying a new lens, and I'm soo glad I did! This is perfect for portrait photography. It adds the perfect amount of blur to the background. I barely ever take it off!

    I'm taking a photography class and it was suggested I get a 50 mm prime lens. One of my classmates has used this one for a while and loved it. I'm glad I made the purchase.

    This product was great. I have D5600 and i like the clarity and the pictures it took. Unfortunately i had to return it since i did not have enough room to take pictures indoor. This product being a 50mm and d5600 not being a full frame camera i couldn't use this indoor since it really zooms the target. I ended up buying the 35mm which is more practical indoors.
