Nikon 50mm 1.8D AF Nikkor Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras
This is a must lens especially for the money. Great with the flash and portrait photography. Quiet, fast focus and sharp. Don't use at 1.8 as most auto cameras gravitate to . Set at f stop 4 and get some really sharp shots. Light weight, small and you'll find yourself walking around more to get that shot, but it will probably be worth it.
I returned it and bought the f/1,4
Alot of different opinions in the review forums here on Amazon. I ended up sending this one back and buying the 1.4 as it just seemed more substantial in my hand. I know that is a soft reason to pay twice the price but I love my 1.4. For a more budget conscious person this is still a good lens though.
Greatest Ever deal for this low price
Just trust me. This is really a superb deal for this low price. I just got this lense and the images taken with this lenses are of superb quality. Sharp contrast and quality images are which you get with this lense.
I have Nikon D40x and was bit hasitant when I read review that it can be a problem and time taking to focus as this lense doesn't have inbuild focus motor. But I am able to focus with this lens just in 2-3 sec. And i personally believe that this is not lot of time. If you really have passion for photography then foucssing wont be problem even if your camera donesn't have inbuild motor for focus.
Just final word. Go grab it, this is really a fantastic lens for both potrait and general purpose photography.
