Nikon 50mm f/1.8D AF Nikkor Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras

It's just like everybody else says. This lens is a great deal. Light, sharp, fast, simple. Need a bigger image....just step closer. Works great on my Nikon D80.

excellent fixed lens. Works well on my nikon d50. Apperature range works great for all lighting conditions. If you are using a DSLR this lens ends up working like a 75mm lens so if you are looking for a straight up 50mm lens, make sure you buy a dedicated digital lens (DX lens for nikon users). All in all a fantastic lens for the money.

This lens is great, and works really well for the price. Just have to be a little more careful with it as the rear threads are made of plastic, but hold up really well.

The lens is soft at f1.8 but gets super sharp at f5.6 and above. For $100 or so, you can't beat this lens. If you want to go a step up, I'd go for the new Nikon AF-S 50mm f1.4 that just came out, although I think the price is about 3x this.

incredible value for the price - fun lens very useful to have.
Highly recommended.
Easy to carry around.
Gives you a lot of light indoors, and great to take portraits.

Only negative point is that at 50mm it becomes 75mm on an aps camera (most cameras) which is too narrow.
If you have x4 the money to spend, then get a 30mm like the sigma f1.4.
