My experience is the same as the reviewer. I was hoping to use this lens for landscapes as well, but it requires a lot of stopping down. Fine in low light, though - bit of a marvel there.

Great Centre sharpness, colour and contrast at maximum aperture in low light; Small lens

Overall sharpness only at smaller apertures

Fantastic lens. I am using this lens with D5300, since six months . Background blur effect is simply awesome. Crisp and amazing picture quality .Very happy with this lens.

many say its there go to lens for portraits. I love the sharp photo's this 50mm lens shoots. The lens was delivered two days sooner than posted at the time of purchase, so hats off to buy direct & save! Just in time for mothers day too... good job.

Good lens for outdoors portraits.

Lightweight; good picture; price; FX format

Fixed focal lenght; no VR

The lens arrived in a secure package without any sign of damage and much faster then promised. This lens is a must have for Nikon dslr users (both DX and FX format) for its good low-light performance and beautiful bokeh.

Great for low-light; portrait and street photography

Nothing

This is a fantastic lens. Paired with my D3300 the photos are super crisp and beautiful. This is now my go to lens for outdoor and a majority of the shooting indoor as well. Great choice.

Picked up a Nikon AF-S 50mm f1.8 G to use as my main prime lens. The lens equates to about a 65mm in 35mm format so it is great for portraits. The lens stops down to 1.8, not as low as some, but great in low light conditions non the less.

Easy to use; Build quality

It's often said by many pro's of the photography world that it's okay if you use a basic body as long as you pair it up with a good glass. And this lens does justice to that statement.

Giving approximately the field of view of humans, gives an non-distorted view of the subject. Shooting wide open gives portraits a beautiful focus on the subject. This is the only lens to use when candid, sharp, low light photography is needed.

Amazing lens with budget price and for the lowest price in the market. Can't go wrong
