Reviews around lense (4.85 of 5)

  • It is awesome for portraits and has inspired me to play with bokeh and the multitude of settings that the D80 can offer in ways that zoom lenses tend to discourage due to their fire and forget inherent nature - not to mention the variable aperture as focal length changes
  • it is one of my favorite lenses .or rather, its the BEST
  • Great lense, I now understand why they say nifty fifty for these lenses
  • One of my favorite lenses, really a nice portrait lens to have
  • I don't think I need to write a lot about this lens because this is known to be one of the best lenses of Nikon

Reviews around picture (4.82 of 5)

  • It also can really let your picture emphasize the subjuct and blur our everything else in a way that the zoom can not
  • Either way having a faster shutter speed free hand and watching how I am bracing the camera has helped me move away from blurry pictures
  • Despite this scare the lens takes great pictures and looks new!
  • It works, it takes great pictures, and wide open it's truly stunning.
  • Great lens, sharp clean pictures, very nice bokeh. running this on D750

Reviews around color (4.66 of 5)

  • The results are photos with great color, contrast and velvety-smooth background when you choose to blur
  • Very sharp, has great color saturation and contrast, and the fixed aperture removes the extra step of finding the right focal length.
  • Older Nikon 50mm f/1.8d ( 1.4 as well ) lens is sharp, and great color, but bokeh is rough
  • Now I'm reluctant to replace it with any other lens from my collection - very fast, high quality images with great colors, excellent for low-light and night photography
  • This is a great portrait lens, great colors, love the a/m focus override.

Reviews around product (4.66 of 5)

  • Lastly, I believe the f 1.8 G is a truely excellent product, but given the AF problems I encountered which led me to return the lens, I only gave it one star.
  • Product works really well and had caused me to learn aloy about how to get sharp images in terms of what settings to use
  • The D is about $80 cheaper, is smaller, lighter, has less distortion, and has manual aperture control.
  • I would recommend this seller to anyone who was a good product but best price.
  • I would consider this as an inferior product compared to the 50mm 1.8D.

Reviews around bokeh (4.65 of 5)

  • The bokeh (blurred backgrounds) is much better than the 18-55 kit lens that came with my camera
  • It is my first prime lens and produces beautiful bokeh.
  • It has 9 rounded aperture blades for a smother bokeh and is 2/3 stop faster but has significant distortion.
  • It's the only lens I use because it's perfect, sharp and has great bokeh
  • , the performance in terms of focus is very pleasing and the aperture is the one I need, so unless you need to go one step further for the f/1.4 for a shallower depth of field and a little bit creamier bokeh, then go for it

Reviews around mm (4.45 of 5)

  • I got this lens as a starter lens, since everyone recommended the 50mm
  • No need to make the investment in the more expensive 50mm.
  • For me I rarely miss my 35mm, but I've regretted selling my 50mm, thus this purchase
  • I have a 40mm 2.8 lens and this one blows that one away in crisp, sharp and dramatic images
  • If you're an enthusiast photographer, you already understand all the benefits of a simple 50mm lens like this one.

Reviews around focus (4.08 of 5)

  • It's a very slow focus lens with a crippled feature set and a fairly narrow range of uses
  • Sadly my camera will not support auto focus in the D so had to get the G, which is fine
  • Auto focus on a lens with this shallow depth of filed basically renders the lens useless
  • Manual focus allows me to blur the foreground, middle, or background (bokeh) respectively
  • Focus is relatively quiet and fast, and images come out really sharp!

Reviews around background blur (3.69 of 5)

  • Bokeh is the background blurring while the subject is in focus.
  • Focus precision between these two lenses are about the same but the 50mm f/1.8G focuses quieter than the 50mm f/1.4D.The primary advantage of the 50mm f/1.4D over this lens is primarily in it being 2/3 of a stop faster and it having an aperture ring.
  • f/1.8G has better optical performance (sharper, better bokeh, improvement on color and contrast), has an included hood, lens pouch, plus the flexibility of being able to use this lens with all of Nikon's dSLR, I strongly recommend anyone looking for a Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 lens to choose this Nikkor 50mm f/1.8G over the Nikkor 50mm f/1.8D.AGAINST THE NIKKOR 50mm f/1.4DThe Nikkor 50
  • I highly Recommend this one. absolutely beautiful background Blur.
  • Nikon promotes in this way, "great for producing images with beautiful background blur (Bokeh)".This new g lens certainly has "beautiful background blur (Bokeh

Reviews around barrel distortion (3.45 of 5)

  • Love this almost always focused lens. and when not so quick and quite to focustakes great l Bokeh photos.
  • I let a coworker borrow this on her dx, she and I were both amazed at how incredible her images turned out being despite her newness to photography.f/2.0-2.2 are my favorite for portraits; within a few minutes its simple to get down the depth of field, as distance in front as well as behind the subject really makes the shot
  • Returned it and bought the 100 dollar AF version (which has less barrel distortion)
  • I love his lens as I this is very light and good for portrait with DX camera
  • inherent disadvantage of "prime" lens vs. 24-70 f/2.8 pro lens.- Found some barrel distortion in my laboratory tests...worse than previous model.- Loss of
