Cons: An apparent lack of resistance to sun flare. You\'ll need to provide for this when composing.

Pros: Sharp, very sharp. Organic film like rendering, never any of that \'modern\' plastic like rendering. Value cannot be bettered.

Summary: You have to get this as your first 50 on a Nikon. After using it, I reckon you\'ll have a hard time justifying purchasing a more expensive 50. It seems silly spending more on a F1.2 or AI-S F1.4 when they don\'t perform until F2 anyway and this lens performs fine at that level. Get this instead.

Cons: Manual focusing is not very smooth. Image lacks a little sharpness and contrast wide open. "Plasticky" build quality.

Pros: Very sharp especially when stopped down. Very lightweight and fits virtually anywhere.

Summary: Excellent performance at such a low price; it's a steal!

Cons: None found so far for the lens itself, the housing could be a bit "less plastic"

Pros: Very good value for the money, great for portrait. Sharpness of pics is unbeaten!

Summary: Don't wanna miss it - and don't restrict myself to portrait, works well outdoor, and for "party photography" as well

Cons: Too small. doesn't fit in the hand.

Pros: almost as sharp as F1,4, but with less geometrical distortion. Considering that it costs twice less, it's a perfect choice and there are no lens that could bring pro quality for this price.

Summary: It's a reference point for me.

Cons: If u consider the price ,then None.

Pros: Fast,Cheap n Quick Focus.

Summary: Very Good Lens at a very low Price. I use it for portrait n Street Photography. Thankx

Cons: None really.

Pros: Very sharp, very fast, very small & light weight.

Summary: A lot of value for the money here. A slightly more bluish tone than the Nikon 50/1.4D, but just as sharp, and a bit lighter due to more plastic/less metal and less glass. Needs a built-in camera focus-motor to autofocus.

Cons: 50mm @ DX Nikkor. It's too long for multipurpose. Soft when wide open (1.8). f2.2 is somehow usable Needs screwdriver for body (d90 or better)

Pros: Razor sharp in crop sensor (DX) Build quality

Summary: Cheap piece of great photograph utility

Cons: Soft at maximum aperture, subject to a lot of flare + diaphragm mirror effect

Pros: Very cheap, very sharp at all apertures except f1.8, small.

Summary: A very inexpensive lens of good quality, but soft at maximum aperture and very prone to internal reflexes, a nightmare for street use at night! Used on DX is too long to be the "normal" lens. Good for the price, but the new 1.8G is better!

Cons: none

Pros: excellent sharpness & color rendition. a great portrait lens. great bokeh. its a bat.

Summary: Using it on a Nikon D7000 body. you'll not realize what you having been missing until you get one. grab one today and I bet you'll never regret your decision till you breath your last.

Cons: cheap Plastic lens

Pros: very sharp pictures, nice colors, wide range of apertures, nice and small.

Summary: It is a great lens that fits in your pocket with a wonderful image quality. It has a nice focal length on DX, although I don't like it on FX

Cons: 가격대비 최고의 성능을 내는 렌즈 입니다. 보케가 8각 보케가 나와서 좀 더 매력적으로 느껴집니다. 색감도 D3s에는 괜찮은 색감을 뽑아냅니다.

Pros: 좋습니다!!

Summary: 최고최고!

Cons: Feels a bit and only a bit plasticy

Pros: Briliantly sharp, light in weight, fast focus, fast lens, price, metal mount,

Summary: So light in weight you can have it with you all the time as a secret weapon in difficult circumstances. Great to catch fast moving grand children in difficut light. Good portrait lense keeps down the big nose effect and gives nicely blurred background, the build qualidty is a nice ballance of robust metal mount where it counts but light but tough body

Cons: noisy focus

Pros: good image quality

Summary: very good lens for this price

Cons: Um... That it's not an f1.2??

Pros: Bulletproof performer. Price.

Summary: This is a must have in every Nikon bag - novice to pro.

Cons: the bokeh seems to be a lot...

Pros: dont know y but love the lens

Summary: i dont know maybe i am jst a teenager in love...

Cons: Not many to be honest. yes it's a bit plasticky and light, but what do you expect for the cheapest prime money can buy?

Pros: Sharp. reliable. No-fuss lens. Fast focusing.

Summary: A must have for any nikon user. you won't get sharper results until you hit the €1000+ range of fast lenses. Brilliant for portraits. I don't know why some say it's only sharp beyond f/4?? I've had fantastic results right through the range. You just have to have your settings right. Though like most lenses you'll find it best around f/8 for outdoor use.

Cons: Not to sharp @f/1.8, cheap looking and feeling.

Pros: Very good image quality from f/4, cheap wide aparture lens

Summary: Today I'd choose 35mm 1.8, but it wasn't made yet when I bought this lens

Cons: Not the best built lens out there.

Pros: Very sharp, fast.

Summary: Probably the best prime lens for the money, you won't be disappointed.

Cons: Manual focusing can be better

Pros: Fast, Sharp

Summary: I use it on D70 and D300, so it 75 mm in real and very usefull for portret.

Cons: None

Pros: Bitingly sharp, super value, lightweight, quite useful focal length.

Summary: Highly recommended

Cons: Plastic build. Busy bokeh rendition compared to other 50s.

Pros: Very affordable. Small and light.

Summary: There is no reason not to buy this lens if bugdet is a priority. But there are other 50s are superior in terms of sharpness, bokeh, build and AF.

Cons: Plastic feeling. It is just a feeling, no real problems occured as per of its build quality. A bit useless angle of view on DX, but it is a matter of personal preferences.

Pros: Small, light. It has metal mount. Except of plastic feeling it is a good quality lens - I use id for 2 years and nothing has hapend to it. Amazingly sharp. It has a depth of field scale.

Summary: It is best used as short portrait lens. For other purposes it might be too long. This is one of the lenses I allways carry with me.

Cons: Too much plastic, small focusing ring.

Pros: Sharp!!!

Summary: Good lens for low price.
