Review: 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.
Review: Great for blurred background, without loss of subject - A fun lens addition to my Nikon D3300 toolbox, I purchased this lens primarily to take portraits and to do some street photos - often in low light conditions. After viewing some YouTube videos about the lens and how it was being used, I took a chance and got this lens in favor of the older 'A' lens that is half the price because of the autofocus and nearly silent operation. The 'G' also makes lights appear round versus hexagon in shape. The lens' focusing capabilities are not as fast or accurate as I'd hoped out of the box, but in all honesty that could be my inexperience at using it. I believe with time and use my shots will improve. It was an excellent purchase for my purposes; outdoor and indoor family photos, pet photos, low light street shots, and senior portrait photography. I've played with aperture, and have gotten some great shots with other lenses, but this lens makes it virtually impossible to not get a clear shot with a blurred background - exactly as expected. Additionally though, it can also take great landscape shots. I like that this lens comes with a 5 year warranty, a nice carrying pouch, lens cap, and shield to prevent excess light from causing unwanted effects in photos. A touch expensive, but well worth it in ease of use and quality output for this intermediate DSLR hobbyist. --------------------------- UPDATE: 9/24/15 I used this lens for taking my daughter's Senior pictures. We went to three locations and spent 3 hours snapping over 300 photos. Much to my delight I ended up with about 20 really great shots, and when posted to Facebook my friends and family asked: "So who took them?" I know they were hoping to hear a name of a local professional photographer, but I was tickled to say '...it was me.' Remembering that this lens doesn't have a zoom meant getting closer to my subject, but really produced some top notch photos. I shot in RAW and used Photoshop Elements 13 to edit. Overall, really pleased. -------------------------------

## Questions & Answers

**Q: nikon 50mm f/1.8g vs. nikon 50mm f/1.4g... which one?**
A: The 1.8G is newer and honestly, based on reviews, is the better lens and is way cheaper. The difference is 2/3 of a stop from 1.8 to 1.4. Unless you do a lot of dimly to dark lit photography and need a fast shutter speed, then go with the 1.4. Otherwise the 1.4 is the better bang for the buck IMHO.

**Q: Could you comment on the merits of  50mm F 1.8 vs. 85 mm F 1.8 for portrait photography much of which will just be shot in the home on a D7100.**
A: Either lense is fine for portrait use though, but I prefer to keep portraits to around 50-85mm so on my aps-c sensor body it left me with one choice.   A fx lens on a dx body has a focal length of 1.5x the rating. So a 50mm on a D7100 comes out to a 75mm, and the 85mm lens acts like a 127.rmm lens.  For this reason I chose the 50mm F1.8 lens.  It has nice bokeh and since the length isn't too long the portrait image still has some depth and isn't flattened.

**Q: Will the autofocus work on 50mm f/1.8G AF-S Nikkor lens  for the  D3200?**
A: Yes, the auto-focus will work. But remember this is an FX lens. Your DX D3200 camera will register it as a 75mm lens rather than a 50mm lens.

**Q: Will it autofocus on D5300?**
A: I have the D5100... I would only be assuming it would focus on the d5300.
