Nikon Lens 50 mm/F 1.8 MF Lenses

Excellent lens. Quality product. Highly recommended. Value for money.

The nifty fifty lol a must buy for anyone starting photography,beautiful Bokeh and sharp too! It has manual focus override and accepts 58 mm filters very pleasing results over a kit lens plus low light performance is excellent

First of all, I have used this lens on a D40 and it works fine. I wanted a lens that would be more like a portrait lens and it is around 75mm equivalent on DX.This lens is very sharp as a portrait lens or short length telephoto in the medium range. The 1.8 aperture and upwards helps you to get subject definition from the back ground very well, especially in good light. Even on the D40, focussing is no problem, being fast enough for me (although I am no sport photographer). For example, I have taken great pictures of my son's tag rugby team at say f2 in sunny weather and the fast shutter speed enabled by the wide aperture has done a great job of taking sharp pictures of on the pitch action.As this is a single focal length lens, blowing pictures up on your monitor is not really a problem even with the elderly D40's 6 megapixels. Therefore using the more up to date, higher megapixel D3XXX/D5XXX cameras with this lens should be easy too.My only quibbles are (1) I'm not so sure about shooting at distance with this lens - even at 5.6 of 8.0. I think that the 35mm 1.8 DX AFS is sharper and early manual focus AIS versions of this lens were better. And (2), rather than the popular 52mm filter size, this version of the Nikkor 50mm 1.8 opts for a 58mm filter size which goes against every previous 1.8 iteration so far and leaves me a bit nonplussed. The lens's body is rather chubby even though the actual optical train seems no larger.My last minor gripe (3) is that this version has more distortion (barrel) when previous versions had this at a minimum. The D40 I believe does not correct lens distortion on-camera yet the new versions of even the more modern cheapest Nikons do, so if you want to use it for architectural work, make sure the distortion removal is on in the camera. You should be OK taking landscapes but watch out for slightly distorted horizon lines if there is no in-camera distortion correction on the cameraI'd like to give the lens 4.5 but I can't, so 4 stars it is. I don't think Nikon makes any dogs when it comes to their single focus lenses. With stiff competition from camera phones, this is a good time to be a SLR user - we are spoilt really so if you want one and you get a good sample, you'll have no regrets especially if your camera has in built distortion control and you have it turned on (recommended if you are taking photo's of architecture).If you use film however, be warned - the distortion will be unacceptable and impossible to remove, so my advice is to keep to the previous. older and smaller AF-D version whose distortion was negligible - you can still buy these brand new and they are plentiful on the used market.

Bon objectif de base. Testé sur un hybride Nikon APS-C avec bague FTZ et sur un Nikon Df Full frame. Fonctionne bien dans les 2 cas. Pas sûr que la version 1.4 apporte autre chose que la luminosité. A noter que j'ai acheté cet objectif en reconditionné Amazon (noté très bon) et qu'il est arrivé sans le pare-soleil. J'ai trouvé ici un pare-soleil compatible pour 14€. En résumé c'est un bon objectif avec un bon piqué et suffisamment lumineux pour un prix raisonnable.

Habe auch das älter Objektiv, da kann das neuere Modell nicht wirklich heran. Fotografiere mit einer Nikon D4 und bin eigentlich enttäuscht. Das ältere Objektiv läßt sich ganz locker in die Hosentasche stecken, geht beim neueren nicht mehr, Haptik ist sowieso beim neuen ein nogo. Ist nicht wirklich meines.

Todo lo que se espera de un 50mm. Objetivo de focal fija, con muy buena nitidez. Liviano, aunque construcción de calidad muy justa. Plasticoso. Con poca luz, en exterior, en interiores, va estupendo. El enfoque correcto, silencioso. El bokeh muy bueno. Transiciones suaves. Lo uso en una APS-C por lo que no hay viñeteo y la calidad óptica es superior. Menos aberraciones cromáticas que el 35mm 1.8 DX, pero menos versatilidad también. Especialmente en interiores. Como cualquier 50mm, calidad precio estupenda.

Très bon objectif. la version f1.4 est mieux mais beaucoup plus chère. Aucun problème en utilisation avec un capteur au format DX qui est similaire à un 75mm (50mm x 1.5 rapport capteur DX).

Lo compré en una oferta,dudaba entre un 35mm y éste pero el precio hizo que me arriesgue con el 50mm. Vale, todo el mundo sabe lo del factor de recorte (tengo una D7100), la distancia de enfoque mínima es de 45cm y el ángulo es más reducido que en el 35mm. Me gusta la nitidez y los colores que da, que es pequeño y discreto para llevar puesto siempre, tendré que acostumbrarme a andar más para conseguir el encuadre, he pasado de un 18-105 Nikon a un sigma 17-50 f2.8 y ahora a una focal fija pero la nitidez y lo ligero que es merece la pena.
