    Great compact all around lens. Had it when I was using a crop sensor body and it transitioned into a full frame sense perfectly on my D750,

    I’m yet to love the 50mm range; however the lens itself is amazing.. sharp and fast.. it’s also super light and comfortable if u know how to use that range.. I just need to get comfortable with the 50mm concept or understand it’s full potential in my photography to totally love it.

    I am typically not a favorite fan of the Nikkor lens series. However I am amazed by this 50 millimeter Nikkor lens. It's simple cleaning and concise with a good feel around the focal lens. The pictures are incredibly Sharp and it is really leading me to stay with primary lenses versus the zoom lens package for the clarity

    Very sharp lens. I think it’s great for a beginner but at the pro level the mid range of its zoom is covered by other lenses
