    • An Excellent Nikon 50mm f/1.8 Prime Lens at an Incredible Price
*: Black
Is it really possible to get an excellent Nikon FX-format prime lens at such a low price? Yes it is! This is the first Nikon prime lens I've had in a while, and I am completely satisfied with its performance on my Nikon Z6 using the FTZ adapter. After having used the f/ 4 stock zoom lens for a year, I'm impressed with the low light ability of this considerably faster 50mm prime lens. And of course the much shallower depth of field. If you already have a nice zoom lens and want to check out prime lenses, this 50mm f/1.8 lens is an incredibly inexpensive place to start. I've had a chance to use this lens in bright sunlight and indoor gloom, and find the picture quality to be sharp, and of high quality in general (allowing for my skill level as a photographer). I haven't run any "tests" but distortion seems to be minimal, colors accurate. Autofocus on this lens is par for the Nikon standard - not always the fastest to zero in on an accurate focus, particularly in lower light situations. This lens is quite light-weight, giving it a bit less heft than Nikon's higher end lenses. Although functionality and image quality are excellent and the build quality seems high, this lens feels less significant than the heavier higher-end lenses. Of course, the lighter weight is certainly nice when you are carrying the camera. Overall, this is an incredible high-quality lens at an incredible price. If you have a Nikon Z or Nikon FX-compatible camera, you have no reason not to buy this lens right now. Not at this price. ... show more

    • Probably a great lens. My copy wasn't.

--UPDATED REVIEW-- After a good deal of time using the 50mm f/1.4D, I decided that I wanted to pick up a quieter auto-focus lens so I decided to give the 50mm f/1.8G another shot. I'm pleased to say that the experience has been much better this time around. On my D810 and D850, it's still not wicked sharp wide open, but few lenses are on those camera. Once I stop down to around f/2.8 or so, it actually gets surprisingly sharp for such a cheap lens. I won't get into color rendition because it seems rather pointless given how much the colors get changed anyway during post-processing. Overall, I find the rendition of the lens to be rather clinical, which is to say that it's seems to focus more on accurately recording the scene in sharp detail rather than imparting "character" as some other lenses tend to do. I find this to be a good thing in a 50mm since the focal length itself tends to be one that most photographers would consider to be the "normal" focal length. Overall, this lens has been a joy to use this second time around which makes me wonder what was going on with that first copy. Maybe it got knocked around during shipping? I don't know. Either way, after experiencing what this lens is capable of offering, I felt compelled to come and update this review because it really is a great lens for the beginner and enthusiast alike that's offered a very reasonable price. -- OLD REVIEW -- Given all of the positive reviews, I probably just got a bad copy, but the lens was just unacceptably soft for me which I didn't expect since it flies in the face of most of the reviews I've read about this. As far as I could tell, it wasn't a front or back-focusing issue as micro-adjustments didn't seem to help at all and in order to get my copy as sharp as I wanted, I had to stop it down to f5.6, which just completely defeats the purpose. Ended up returning it and trying out a 50mm 1.4D which I just decided to stick with. I know I could have exchanged it and it probably would have been fine, but the whole experience just left a bad taste in my mouth. Aside from my particular issues, I can definitely say that the lens itself felt built pretty well for the price. A lot of people like to cry about how they don't make them like they used to—which usually just means that they don't make them out of metal anymore—but plastics have come a long way over the years and definitely have plenty of benefits. Most of the people that make this complaint just miss that hefty feeling, which is more of an argument of personal preference rather than an argument of the objective merits of the materials used. All materials have their pros and cons, but the materials used to construct this lens seemed more than durable enough while having the benefit of being lightweight. The autofocus responded quickly and crisply without much hunting at all. All in all, given the low cost of the lens, it's worth at least trying out. You'll probably have better luck than me. ... show more

I upgraded from the 50mm 1.8D and was thoroughly impressed with the 50mm 1.8G. For the money this is the best lens Nikon has to offer; fantastic optics and build quality. What can I say, for the price this is optically the best lens I've ever used. Wide open (f/1.8-2.2) this lens performs very very well; sharp corners, good contrast, smooth and pleasing bokeh. Stopped down a bit (f/2.2-4) the optics are far above my expectations; sharp everywhere, punchy contrast, and gorgeous bokeh. Stop it down even further (f/4-8) and this lens is optically perfect. What impresses me is the ability to shoot wide open and achieve far above average performance; that little aspherical element is hard at work here. The autofocus is reasonably quick, accurate and reliable, and it's very very quiet. The lens almost never flares unless pointed into the sun, but popping on the lens hood fixes that. I only noticed slight color-fringing when wide open and stopping down past f/2.8 takes care of the rest. I only have two minor optical complaints with the 50mm 1.8G; there is a slightly noticeable amount of barrel distortion and the minimum aperture of f/16 is slightly less than many other Nikon primes. I am a huge fan of how Nikon built this lens, in fact I hope all future Nikon lenses follow the great ergonomics and build of the 1.8G. The plastic feels tough and resistant to scratches and impacts and has a nice epoxy-sprinkled finish like many of their newer lenses and bodies. The white attachment-aligning mark is a very visible white plastic ball that looks great and is nice for low-light shooting. The focus ring is a nice grippy rubber, but has a little play to it before it moves the focus - I assume this is because of the manual focus override when using autofocus, so this is something I am perfectly fine with. The distance scale window is large and easy to read, but the scale itself only contains a few markings. The front lens element moves in and out (does not rotate luckily) but is sunk very far back into the front of the lens meaning nothing actually moves on the exterior of the lens. The lens hood snaps on nicely and is great to use. Pros: - An optical stunner - Perfectly usable wide-open (unlike the 1.8D) - Sharp, sharp, sharp, sharp - Little to no flaring - Excellent color reproduction and contrast - True professional performance for very little money - Built like a plastic tank - Fits well in the hand (unlike the puny 50 1.8D) and is very light - Well thought out ergonomics - Manual focus override of AF - Great lens hood Cons: - Small amount of barrel distortion - Only stops down to f/16 (the 1.8D went to f/22) - Slight play in the manual focus (manual override makes up for this) - Distance scale could be better - AF could be faster I highly recommend this lens for any Nikon shooter. It's a wonderful lens that delivers a class-up set of optics and great handling all for an incredible price. ... show more
