 Do not let the price fool you July 27, 2010
C. Carstensen (Montrose, Colorado USA)
Don't let the low price fool you. This lens is tack sharp, fast focusing, and well built. True, the body is plastic, so what? It is a great prime lens to have in your bag. I shoot aerial photos, used it on a recent job with excellent results mounted on a D3.
 Awesome providing your camera will autofocus it! July 26, 2010
Mr. DAVID Geer (Sydney Australia)
Heaps of people love this lens, quite rightly its sharp, lightweight and low in distortion and is F1.8.
However I found it a pain to use on a D40 just a quarter of a turn to focus is not enough when you are taking pictures of close-in subjects. It will annoy you! On the D90 it's fine!
However the biggest minus of them all is how unuseful a 50mm lens is on a DX camera i.e. a fixed 75MM is quite long, especially after using the kit lenses which are 18-55 for the D40 or 18-105 for the D90. By all means get one but like me you'll wonder if you should sell it to a mate (where I got mine) as well as I took it all over the World and only once put it on the camera!
The same can be said of the 35 mm AF-s DX though this is strictly a low light close in lens in my opinion and not as good as the 50mm by any chalk though has a built in motor.
Excellent product for the price July 26, 2010
Rama Katta (NJ, USA)
Cannot beat the price. Excellent lens for the price. Was very interested to buy 1.4g but due the price bought the 1.8d and am very happy with the performance.
best starter lens July 21, 2010

bought this for my first lens focus is fast and accurate great DOF contrast all that stuff. the only better lens would be an f/1.4
Brilliant Little Lens! July 16, 2010

I bought this lens for use with my Nikon D90 just over a year and a half ago. Ive always heard of people loving their "nifty fifties" and now I know why. This lens is just spectacular. Very quick autofocus on my D90, almost no noise at all while focusing. Focus ring is smooth. Focusing is spot-on every time for me. All metal construction makes it a very solidly built lens. The only thing wrong with the lens is that its not offered in a DX format, but that was to be expected. The only downside to the lens is that the bokeh just isnt beautiful. Blurring background and isolation is fantastic, but bokeh is very rigid, geometric-looking when it comes to lights. Thats why I gave it 4 stars for that category. Absolutely wonderful lens. Everyone should own one, without a doubt!
