I'm using this lens on a D7100, so with the crop factor it captures images at 75mm equivalent. I'm quite happy with this lens, and have enjoyed the simplicity and consistency of this prime. It is sharp and fast to focus. It has worked well for some portrait work.

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.

KIT lenses do not do the cameras that they come with justice. This is the equivalent of 75mm on a crop sensor if you aren't using a full frame camera. Fantastic for indoor shots/portraits of any kind.

Fast auto focusing Excellent Bokeh Fantastic Image Quality; much better than KIT lens Great low light performance coupled with current generation Nikon cameras

Twice the price of the equivalent Canon model; But I chose a Nikon camera for a reason, so that's ok

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.

the 50mm 1.8g is the best at what you pay. having that said bcz of the focal length, u get a very good bokeh, nd the construction makes the bokeh a lot smoother than the 1.8d. very good in low light, actually it looks better dan wat u see with ur naked eye. contrast is great.

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

This prime lens turned my AW1 into a beast. Sharpness, wonderfull low light caption and control over focusing via the manual focus ring. You just set and lock aperture at 22 on the aperture ring and the AW1 controls aperture via the FT1 mount.

Great lens. Light, sharp and fast. My favorite carry around lens. Works well for street photography. Definitely would recommend

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

I bought this lens because I wanted a fast portrait lens for my D7000. For me, this lens represented the best of both worlds - a fast aperture at a cheap price.
