Questions & Answers

Shopper : does this fit the nikon d3400?
Babu G : Is it compatible for d5600?DAVID C : I don't think the AF-D lens will work properly with the 5600, You will have only manual focus as this lens uses a screw focusing mechanism between the camera and the lens. See Nikon's compatibility chart which is on lineas a pdf. It works for me as I use a D7100 which has the necessary hardware. Nice Lens tho.
Shopper : Is this lens DX or FX ? Is this compatible for model D3200 ?KIRK O : Just about all NIKON lenses can be used with your camera. You won't have auto-focus and will have to manually focus it. All other features will work the same. I just ordered a used lense for my wife's d5300. She likes the manual lenses. They cost less.

Solid starter lens, especially for older DSLR models

Great lens with manual and auto focus options for the older cameras that don't have it integrated. In like-new condition.

Good lens, nifty fifty!

I've never had a fixed focal length lens. This one is great. It is going to allow me to expand my photography skills and the wide aperture has been amazing and transformed my work. It is a fun lens that you can use in many different scenarios. My lens was refurbished and came with a smudge on the lens. I was able to wipe it off, but it is worth noting. I've been using the lens for about a month and I am very happy with the results.

Excellent refurbished lens

Perfect condition. You would never know it was refurbished! It’s a great price for a premium lens. It’s exactly what I needed for my kit. I also got it much quicker than I had anticipated. I have a trio to Paris coming up, and this will come in handy!

Nikon 1.8D 50mm Lens

I purchased this lens used from Adorama as a lighter walk-around lens. I use it exclusively with my Nikon D600 full-frame camera. I thought with the price being cheap, this must be a poor quality lens, right? Nope, this is a great little lens. I have taken some great photos which it and love the bokeh this lens puts out at f1.8. It's also a fantastic lens to use in difficult lighting situations. I am very happy with my purchase from Adorama. Great service and will be looking to buy again.

Excellent pick

I was looking into 50mm f1.4 but I couldn't say "No" to this little gem for the awesome price. The glass for this 'Refurbished' was untouched and the quality provided while attached to a D800 is above what other glass I own right now brings... Coming from manual focus 50mm's it's a time savior this Af-S.

Review of Nikon 50mm f/1.8D AF NIKKOR Lens

The refurbished lens is in good shape and functions well. As my research indicated, it does not autofocus on the Nikon D3300 camera because this particular camera does not have a built in motor. However, the lens itself performs well. Thank you Adorama for prompt shipment.

Best lens ever

By MissiSue1

This is the best lens ever. I use it for everything and have had the most amazing results. So sharp. Takes the most beautiful shots of eyes and sleeping babies. Love it and recommend it to everyone.

Diaomond at a price of pebble

By Panujit

Pro's: 1. Low-light capability (its obvious @ 1.8) 2. Super cheap (at this price other than this you'll probably get add-on filters) 3. Sharp beyond ~f/2.5 4. Light weight (1st time I saw it, it seemed a toy lens to me :-P) 5. Great for portraits, street photography, indoor photography. 6. Auto-focus is there except for the beginner DSLR Bodies (D3100, D3200, D5100, D5200 etc). 7. Manual focus is easy though takes practice. 8. Aperture ring is there (its a D-type) - helpful in many cases e.g....
