Nice addition to my camera bag

Very nice, sharp and quickly-focusing lens. It's nice to use a fixed focal length lens and to concern yourself with composition and lighting and not having to worry about zooming in and out.

50MM f1.8G great sharp lens with extraordina service from Crutchfield

Product is great works as advertised Nikon has been updating prime lenses and this 50mm Prime is sharp and works great. I am using it with a Nidon D7200 and D 5200 for portraits. It is sharp and works well as a in studio portrait lens! I have to congratulate Crutchfield on special handling of my order too. I had several gift certificates which required me to speak to customer service to get them processed. Their on line support took care of my order promptly and efficiently. I received a e mail follow up soon after the order was processed including contact information for my rep - along with their picture no less! I received the order and highly recommend Crutchfield for their service and expertise and inventory!

Don't waste your money or time on this lens

This is probably The worst lens I have ever bought. Produces the quality of an average cellphone image... Have tried everything and still get low quality and not sharp images. I read the other reviews so figured I'd get what I wanted - a clear, sharp 50mm view. Hmmmmm. Don't waste your money on this one.

Sharp lens

This is a very sharp lens. I was debating whether to get the f/1.8D or f/1.8G because the D version would save me money. I ended deciding on the G version. I own a few older lens that were manufactured in Japan and those lens were solidly built although a little heavy, and they all feel tough and expensive. The 50mm f/1.,8G plastic body feels fragile and very light. However, it is one of the sharpest lens that I have owned. I own the old 35-70mm f/2.8 lens and at the same aperture and focal length of 50, this lens is sharper. With the SWM, I can hardly hear anything while the lens is focusing. I highly recommend it.

Amazing value

Amazing lens for the price paid. The choice for me was between the 1.8g and 1.4g and ultimately the 1.8g won out. Two reason for I went with the 1.8g was 1) It was the best lens I could afford and 2) after going over numerous reviews for the 1.8g, I learned that the 1.8g has an aspherical element within it where as the 1.4g does not. So ultimately, the 1.8g will produce sharper imagines and this is partly what I was looking for with a 50mm lens. If you're more of a portrait photographer (I'm not), the 1.4g will probably suit you better as it will give you those super creamy backgrounds, but if using the 1.8g at f1.8 you will still get beautiful backgrounds. Both lens are great, but for me, the 1.8g was more of what I was looking for.

Great lens on a budget

Great lens for the money, and excellent for portrait style photos and video interviews, which are exactly why I needed it. The f1.8 does great in low-light situations. The lack of VR is not a problem for me, since just about everything I use this lens for right now involves a tripod. Definitely a great buy and would recommend it.

worth it every cent

Im really happy with this lens, it really make a great value for the money. I used it for the first time on my D7000 in a very low light session and the f1.8 really helped. The only issue that was the autofocus, but I cant tell if it was the lens or the low light in the place. Even with that I really recomend it specially for portraits.

Worst packaging ever.

This Nikon lens is truly a high resolution lens especially when used at f5.6, f8, and f11. As the reviews state this may be the first real resolution upgrade in the last 40 years. Probably because of the high resolution digital sensors now used in dslr's forced Nikon to improve their products. After all the research into lenses, I was shocked to receive it packaged by Crutchfield in a brown shipping box with the Nikon lens box placed flat against the shipping box floor, tight against one side of the box, and tight against the box top. The rest of the box was filled with foam peanuts. Anytime ups dropped this shipping box on its bottom, side, or top, the lens took a direct hit. There was no protection for this lens from any impacts, the full force went to the lens. The worst packaging I have ever seen, really no packaging. In business 40 years and I have to write this? Buyer beware.

Standard indeed

This is a must have lens for both pro and non-pro. Easy to use and light weight. Low aperture settings and simplicity make this lens an ideal option for quick shots where there isn't much time to think and you have to raise the camera and freeze the moment.

Great lens for low light

The Nikon AF-S Nikkor 50mm f/1.8G is a great lens for low light conditions and an excellent value for the money. I use it for aerial landscape shots at dusk and find that the amount of light it allows in with a relatively fast shutter speed allows me to capture details of clouds and mist with low angle sunlight. This lens is a great addition to my flight bag.

Great Lens!!!

I initially bought this lens to try out because I wanted something that was a bit "clearer" or more professional than the kit lens that came with my D5100. I'm not a pro but I wanted to get a bit better with my filming, so I read some reviews and checked this one out. This is indeed a wonderful, inexpensive lens for an amateur or professional. It has great focusing capabilities and is very lightweight as well. I am definitely keeping this and shooting most of my photos and video with it!

Fantastic lens!

I took a photography class and was urged to get this lens versus the standard lens that came with my camera. What a difference this lens has made. I feel like my pictures are a lot more clear and higher quality. Some even look like I know what I'm doing!!! I would definitely recommend this lens! The only criticism I would have is that the price is a little high. The same lens for a Canon is about $100 which is much more affordable. But now that I have the lens, it was worth the money!!

Lots of Bang for the Buck

This is a great little lens and is cheap enough where it should be in every Nikon DSLR owners bag. If you have an FX Camera, this is a great little walk around "Normal" lens and if you own a DX Camera, this lens does a fantastic job with portraits. This lens also does a fantastic job at low light photography @ f/2.8 but don't try and get greedy with the large aperture / low ISO as @ f/1.8 the lens only performs OK as it's rather soft in the center.

Nikon AF-S Nikkor 50mm f/1.8G

Purchased this instead of a 30mm that cost twice as much. I'm happy with my decision to go low budget because is a very good lens. The low light capability is comparable to the more expensive lens along with its speed. I would suggest picking up a UV filter. This is a good prime lens for the money minded.

A Sharp, Fast Fifty

This is the latest of four 50mm lenses than Nikon offers. I bought it for use on my DX-Format, Nikon D7000. It is a fast, super-sharp lens that is excellent for less than ideal lighting conditions. I've been able to use it indoors without a flash. It will auto-focus with Nikon's entry-level DSLRs like the D40, D3000, D3100 and D5100. It focuses perfectly and has great bokeh. For around $200, this is a top-notch 50mm lens - it should in everyone's camera bag. I also feel the need to mention that Crutchfield had it in stock when no one else did. This new 50mm lens is in high demand and Crutchfield was able to get it to me - with no shipping charges - within 2 days of my order. Many thanks to the great team at Crutchfield!
