Questions & Answers

Johnny E : is this lense compatible with Nikon D750?JOHN S : According to the stats on this lens it is an FX lens. That means it’s full frame and fully compatible with the D750 camera. It will also work on a DX body but it will work differently and be a.70mm because it’s not made for small frame.RICK H : Absolutely!DEAN R : Yes, it works great with the D750. In fact, that is the body that I bought it for (but it also works great on my other Nikon bodies ( D5100 (with a cropped sensor it is actually a 75mm) and my Nikon D850). It should work on most Nikon bodies. It is a great walk around lens. Very versatile. I hope this helps.
Shopper : Is the lens hood included with this lens?Patrick D : I got one. Nice metal hood to keep the glare and rain out.STEPHEN H : YesMARTIN D : Yes, a lens hood is included.Danica T : I believe so. Mine had one.FRANCIS L : Yes, the lens hood (HB-47 bayonet) is included as indicated in the product description.RICK H : Yes, if purchased new and as a USA version.
Shopper : Just to be sure, "Nikon 5 Year USA Warranty (1 Year International + 4 Year USA Extension" means NOT the Nikon USA 5 year warranty, correct? Is this an international version?DEAN R : If you are asking if this is a grey market version, I would have to say, probably not. As far as I know, Adorama does not sell Grey Market items. If it says Nikon USA warranty, that is what it is. I have all of my gear registered on my Nikon website, and it shows that i bought that lens through Adorama. I have called other retailers to ask about their "low" prices on their camera equipment...I just flat out ask them if the item is from the Grey market, and they will usually say if it is or not (maybe they have to do it by law). What did Adorama tell you?FRANCIS L : This is not the international version, it is the US version with the full 5 year warranty.ANDREW R : No. This item is US market equipment, not grey market, not direct import. Grey market equipment would not include a US warranty from Nikon.

Highest Price -Performance Lens

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)

Excellent service and product

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.

Good lens

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.

Better Than Expected

By NikonPro

This lens was recommended to me by my friend after I was complaining about shooting in low light for indoor sports. It is very inexpensive, so I bought it. I love this lens. It is so useful, and it has helped me produce some phenomenal pictures in low light. The depth of field has a very large range, so it is very versatile. The build is good, nothing special, just a standard plastic structure. The autofocus is accurate and fast; perfect for close-up sports. However, I use this lens now for s...

Nifty Fifty

By TERRENCE C.

My first lens was a 50 and I never liked the perspective being neither here nor there. But with a wide and a tele zoom pair, it's useful to fill the gap. Also, sometimes you just need a faster lens. At the price, this will serve those purposes. The lens is small, light and easy to carry for those occasions. It's a shame Nikon doesn't put in VR but can't complain at the price.

While the AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G lens may appear simple, it is packed with features that make it an essential addition to any photographer's kit. This lens, designed to work seamlessly with your DSLR, is perfect for capturing stunning portraits and everyday scenes with exceptional clarity and detail.

The 50mm focal length, equivalent to 75mm on DX format cameras, combined with a fast f/1.8 aperture, allows for the creation of images with a beautifully shallow depth-of-field. This feature helps your subjects stand out against their backgrounds, adding a professional touch to your photographs.

This NIKKOR lens is also a master of low-light situations. Its fast f/1.8 aperture ensures that even in less-than-ideal lighting conditions, your images will be imbued with a stunning brilliance. This makes the lens a reliable travel companion, ready to capture the beauty of your journey, come rain or shine.

The AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G lens also excels in creating a natural background blur, or bokeh, at its wider aperture settings. Whether you're photographing portraits, food, or nature, indoors or outdoors, this lens will render a beautiful, natural depth of field in your images.

Nikon's Super Integrated Coating (SIC) enhances light transmission efficiency, offering superior color consistency and reduced flare. The Aspherical Lens Element (AS) virtually eliminates coma and other types of aberrations, even when shooting at the widest available aperture. Coupled with Nikon's Silent Wave Motor (SWM) for fast, accurate, and quiet autofocus, this lens guarantees tack-sharp portraits every time.

The AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G lens, bundled with the ProOptic 58mm Filter Kit, is an invaluable tool for pushing your creative boundaries. With this lens, you can capture the world as you see it, in all its natural beauty and detail.

Nikon 50mm f/1.8G AF-S Features

  • This updated classic with a fast maximum aperture is ideal for everyday shooting, perfect in low lighting situations and great for producing images with beautiful background blur (Bokeh)
  • The AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G includes Silent Wave Motor technology (SWM) for fast and precise autofocus, M/A Focus Mode Switch for seamless changes between manual and autofocus operation and an aspherical lens element for outstanding optical performance with high contrast
  • This lightweight standard lens is a great travel companion because you never know when a beautiful, sunny day will turn cloudy and rainy. With its fast f/1.8 aperture, the AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G will capture even low-light situations with stunning brilliance
  • Whether you're shooting portraits, food or nature-indoors or outdoors-the AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G renders a beautiful, natural background blur (Bokeh) at its wider aperture settings
  • Nikon's Super Integrated Coating (SIC) enhances light transmission efficiency and offers superior color consistency and reduced flare, while Aspherical Lens Element (AS) virtually eliminates coma and other types of aberrations, even when shooting at the widest available aperture
  • A significant innovation in AF lens technology, Nikon's Silent Wave Motor uses ultrasonic (inaudible) vibrations-rather than a gear system-to focus the lens, providing incredibly smooth, silent and precise autofocus operation
  • When fine manual focusing is needed, simply rotate the lens focus ring-M/A mode allows you to seamlessly override the AF system with virtually no time lag
  • Since the 1960s, aspherical lenses have been an important part of the NIKKOR lens family. Virtually eliminating coma and other types of aberration, every new addition to the lineup provides a new level of contrast, resolution and compact design
  • Nikon's Super Integrated Coating enhances light transmission efficiency and offers superior color consistency and reduced lens flare
