The best zoom lenses have become so good these days as to remove the need for prime lenses. Why bother with 6 or 8 lenses when 3 will do the job at least as well, and with greater compositional freedom and accuracy? Except, of course, that those zooms are large and heavy, and a stop or two dimmer than the primes they replace. So even if I didn’t strictly need a 50mm, I fell for this little gem when it came up on eBay at a good price. Not that it’s expensive new, but at half price it became a no-brainer. In purely technical terms, older Nikon 50s (all the 1.2, 1.4 and 1.8D versions) are no match at large apertures for Nikon’s 24-70mm f:2.8 set to 50mm. However, f-stop for f-stop, this 1.8G prime is very slightly sharper than the zoom in the corners while the zoom remains slightly better in the centre. But you really need to pixel-peep to see any difference. So that’s not what it’s about. It’s more about cutting the size and weight of the camera/lens package almost in half, it’s about using the extra f-stop creatively, and it’s about making simpler and what somehow feels like “cleaner” picture choices. In that way this little thrifty fifty has been good for my soul, and it’s easily worth the extra weight in my camera bag.Vollständige Rezension lesen

I really like this thing. The images are sharp, contasty and colourful and the focusing is fast and accurate (well it is on my D700 anyway). The downside is it is about £140 used instead of £75 for the f1.8D screw-drive version and it has a 58mm fliter thread instead of the more common 52mm. If you can afford it - you'll like it better. If you want to pay £250 up for you a used f1.4G then go for it but I doubt it'll be any better.

This lens is truly superb! For the money you won't find a better lens. The images are a hundred times better, sharper & more colourful than my Nikon 28-300mm zoom lens that cost over £700! Obviously it's a prime lens so no zoom but when you compare two images of the same subject it's embarrassing! As you can see, the brighter image is from the 50mm and blows the other away. Both photos taken on a Nikon D750 at the lowest image quality. I Normally do sports photographer which is why i've got the zoom & took photos of the flower as a reference, but the 50mm is that good I might just use that and crop in the photos after! This lens is well recommended!!!

Perfect for general photos, and low F-stop and slightly higher ISO means you can get away without a flash indoors. Very fast and quiet auto focus

Brilliant lens and the fitting heir to decades of Nikkor lenses constantly evolving while staying true to their origins. I never leave home without a 50mm lens and this is the 3rd instance of me buying a Nikon 50mm to update my kit.
