Not too good for nikon eh

Date of Review:  Apr 14, 2006
The Bottom Line: no recommendation for these two lenses
Review:

Ok lets see
the 50mm AF-D nikon lenses, both f 1.4 and 1.8
suffer from some NONFOCUS as I call it.
They simply can go only so sharp and
Not any sharper.

this means, they are not resolving, and not sharp

Every SLR owner should have this in their bag!!

Date of Review:  Oct 4, 2006
Review: This lens if fast, super sharp and very contrasty. It is a great portrait lens and can even be used as a macro lens if it is fitted with a reversing ring.

It is super light and takes great low light images. This particular lens is the D...

Essential item!

Date of Review:  Jun 15, 2007
The Bottom Line: Highly recommended if you want to see what your camera can really do. Bad news for anyone on a budget as it will make you desire the expensive, fast, primes!
Review: This is a must have lens. The lens can be had for around $100, and I've yet to see any Nikon lens that can produce similar image quality, for anywhere near this price. Most DSLR beginners will end up with slow zoom lenses that will handicap even the...

Ancient Nikon Optic Reborn

Date of Review:  Oct 3, 2002
The Bottom Line: A great 'normal' lens that will give you sharp prints at little cost.
Review: The Nikon AF Nikkor 50mm 1.8D is the replacement for the Nikon AF Nikkor 50mm 1.8 that has been in production since 1985. Anybody that is familiar with Nikon lenses knows that Nikon's 'D' lenses (the 'D' stands for Distance, this means the lens...

Revisiting the Nikon 50mm f/1.8D AF in the digital era.

Date of Review:  Apr 1, 2007
The Bottom Line: Thanks to the 1.5X crop factor of Nikon digital SLRs, this lens has come alive for me again - razor sharp, fast, light, compact, very inexpensive.
Review: Introduction

Nikon and Canon have long offered a fast 50mmm lens. Over the years, these have been available as manual focus lenses, autofocus lenses, and with apertures as wide as f/1.2. Nikon's 50mm f/1.8D AF has long been considered one...

Good lens, but what about assembly?

Date of Review:  Dec 20, 2005
Review: When I took my new 50mm 1.8 out of the box, I was surprised that it was made in China. First, I thought that Nikon quality assurance would resolve any issues. When I was mounting the lens, I noticed though that the fitting is very tied compared to...

The Best AF Lens, Period.

Date of Review:  Oct 22, 2000
Review: The Nikon 50mm f/1.8 AF Nikkor is the best 50mm lens in the market today. Period. This isn't just me saying this. The following is a quote from photo.net: "Amateur Photographer, an English magazine, tested every 50mm lens on the market in May 1991...

Date of Review:  Dec 7, 2007
Review: I got this lens a couple of weeks ago and am very happy with it. The bokeh is wonderful. Pictures are very crisp and sharp. Nice fast lens to have around.

50mm1.8 best $100 i ever spent

Date of Review:  Jul 21, 2000
Review: I am a NIKON user & have a few lenses in my kit. The NIKON A/F 50 mm 1.8 is the sharpest of all& i have what i consider some very good lenses.
Compared to my 80-200 2.8, & 24 2.8 this inexpensive little lens is what i use when sharpness is my...

Fast and cheap glass

Date of Review:  Nov 1, 2007
The Bottom Line: At that price, you'd be crazy not to try this out!
Review: Considered by many film photographers to be an essential tool in any camera bag, 50mm lenses have always seemed to have a good reputation and the Nikon 50mm 1.8D AF is a fine addition to that line up.

In the world of digital, the old style...
