Great price point for a decent normal lens.
I bought a Nikkor 50mm f1.4 AF lens and got a free cleaning kit for this price. Not a bad deal.

Works better than expected for this low price
Only 4 stars because it's not the 50mm f1.2 lense, I wish Nikon would re-issue that lense in an AF ED IF version. But this lense is excellent, wide sharp focusing range, great depth of field control, and it's light weight and extremely affordable..

SKU doesn't match.
The SKU number doesn't match the item. I should have checked it when i picked up the item. The quality of product is not V as ordered. Need to go to store to figure out what can be none.

Wish I had Bought This Sooner
Solid lens, great colors, clarity and performance. Look at online image galleries and you'll find this lens has incredible output, on all kinds of Nikon bodies. People are now sporting this lens on Z7 bodies and getting insanely good results. That pretty much says it all.

Fast glass is always the best purchase in the long run.
Even if you must save for it purchasing fast glass will never let you down. We all run across a scene where we need more light to capture that moment in time and if you invested in fast glass, you have a better chance of capturing that moment.

A must have do it all base camp lens!
Incredible value. Sharp. Bokeh. Fast focus. I know there are purists who think a the1.8 is superior, less flare or whatever, but I do not see any image distortion or anomalous in any light setting and use this on my D7500 with the APS-C sensor and get an effective 75mm lens with a 1.4 aperture. It’s the perfect alternative to a FX 85mm portrait lens IMHO and that what I use this for. Add in the 35mm and those are all you need on a DX Nikon to shoot all day long. Very happy with this set up and the 50mm in particular.

Only OK compared to other fast 50’s
Used this lens on a D810 and other Nikons. Frankly did not think it was worth the cost. When I wanted to use wide open, it was (for me) only sort of satisfactory compared to other ‘fast 1.4’ lenses I’ve used. I sold it and purchased the Nikon 50mm f1.8, with which I was very satisfied.

Excellent, Affordable, and Light-in-Weight Lens
This was the first lens I bought when I got my D810. It serves a purpose as one lens to take for the morning (or day). As I've read in many reviews it is improved by stopping down a stop or two to f2.2 or f2.5. I really do like this lens a lot - great color rendition of landscapes. I chose this lens over the Sigma 50mm f1.4 as it is much lighter in both weight and cost! I highly recommend it.

Ok but not great. Prefer the IQ of Nikon f1.8.
Not a bad lens. But, I sold mine and bought the f1.8 version. Just think it is a better lens, better IQ, and only a tad slower.

Focus on this lens with a D700 (FX) is fast and seems dead-on accurate. Very usable at 1.4, great at 2.0, amazing by 2.8. The lens isolates the subject from background extremely well and the bokeh is smooth and creamy. Great for portraits, carry around, general use. Colors are great. I wish it were a little smaller-lighter but this is still a lot smaller than a zoom. This is especially useful as a "grab it and maybe crop it" lens when the kids are running around the house in the typical day a...

I cover all of the sports for our local school district. When shooting in the gyms, they are typically poorly lit & it is difficult to stop action & still have a sharp image. I wasn't getting the results I wanted with the 2.8 lenses I have, so when Nikon came out with this new version, I had to have it. [...] Please see the attached image for an example.
