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

This lens is amazing in low light. If you aren't quite ready to spring for the 1.4 lens, this lens is a bargain.

If doesn't auto-focus on our D40 but we knew that going in.

Great lens for portraits. We love it, especially indoors.

This is an excellent product, especially given the price.

The one thing to keep in mind is that the lens does not have automatic focus with the Nikon D40. You will have to manually focus it.

This lens is sharp, Sharp, SHARP!! And TINY!!

I just took it shooting on a trip to Arizona and came out with some amazing shots, including beautiful sunsets and amazing portraits. It focuses very quickly for an AF lens, and it performs astounding in low light. Because it is so sharp, when I need to boost my ISO up to around 1600, I still end up with great detail (and knock out some of the noise in Lightroom).

On another note, if you are thinking of using this for a serious portrait lens, only use it for torso shots or wider. Get the 85mm f1.8 (only about two hundred dollars more) because it has a better compression factor for more natural looking shots.

What a perfect lens this is.. I really cannot think of any cons at all. Crisp pictures with amazing DoF.
