Nikon 50mm f/1.8G AF-S 

Capture stunning images with the Nikon 50mm f/1.8G lens. Features include a fast f/1.8 aperture & aspherical lens. Lightweight build. Shop now!

For photography enthusiasts seeking to capture stunning images with remarkable clarity, the 50mm f/1.8G AF-S NIKKOR Lens is an exceptional choice. This compact FX-format prime lens, with its fast f/1.8 maximum aperture, is a modern update on a classic design, making it an ideal tool for a wide range of shooting scenarios.Whether you're shooting in low light conditions or aiming to achieve beautiful background blur (Bokeh), this lens delivers superior performance. Its fast maximum aperture allows for sharper images in dim lighting, while the shallow depth of field creates a pleasing Bokeh effect, adding a professional touch to your photos.The AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G lens is equipped with Nikon's advanced Silent Wave Motor technology (SWM), ensuring fast and precise autofocus for crisp, clear images. This feature is particularly beneficial for capturing spontaneous moments, as it allows for quick and silent focusing.Additionally, the M/A Focus Mode Switch provides seamless transitions between manual and autofocus operation, offering flexibility and control to photographers of all skill levels. This feature allows you to manually adjust the focus without switching modes, providing a more intuitive shooting experience.The lens also incorporates an aspherical lens element, which reduces aberrations and enhances contrast, ensuring outstanding optical performance. This means your images will be sharp, clear, and full of detail, regardless of your subject matter.In summary, the 50mm f/1.8G AF-S NIKKOR Lens is a versatile and high-performing piece of equipment, designed to elevate your photography and help you capture your vision with precision and style.

This Nikon 50mm f/1.8G definitely has the highest price-performance ratio. Small and lightweight.
 Great for portraiture, street, event, and wedding photography. 
The bokeh looks very soft and creamy at maximum aperture and takes a semi-round heptagonal shape when stopped down. 
Vignetting is heavy at maximum aperture but significantly reduced by f/2.0, and it is easy to fix in post-processing software.

I enjoyed shooting with this lens in bright outdoor environments; it does a great job in challenging light.
When you always keep the lens hood on the lens, you should have no problems shooting against very bright light sources.

If you are looking for sharpness and AF performance, then get this lens. It is sharper than all of its predecessors, including the Nikon 50mm f/1.4G, at the largest apertures.

I noticed distortion on this lens, but the more expensive primes, like the Nikon 50mm f/1.4G and 50mm f/1.4D, also have a moderate amount of visible distortion.

This lens will work on FX or DX cameras, although I recommend using the Nikon 35mm f/1.8G DX for everyday photography on DX sensors instead due to the shorter focal length (the Nikon 50mm has an equivalent field of view of a 75mm lens when mounted on a DX camera)

Great lens, and even better and faster service. The included ND filter on the sale was worth it a I eventually will get a stronger ND filter and this let me get an idea of shooting with it.

Excellent service and product

Very easy to exchange the Nikon for the Cannon. Thank you for making it so seamless.

Great lens, for a decent price! Only putting 4 starts because it?s not my favorite, but that?s just because i want something a little more versatile.

Great lens and the bonus filters was a nice add on. As always Adorama staff were helpful on the phone and the goods were well packed and mailed quickly.  This is why Adorama is my first spchoice in new camera gear.

Light weight, great optics, perfect for my small room studio. Reasonable price, too.

50mm

I'm very pleased with my purchase of the 1.8x50mm lens.  Focus is sharp and low light photos are very good.
    The only shortcoming I have found is that the field of view is a little narrow when it comes to panoramas.
      But I still prefer to use it as my all around carry lens.
     Yes I would recommend this lens to a friend.
