 If you into portraits you should have it! February 20, 2010
A. Azizi (Denmark)
Its handy, light weight and a fast lense.. pixs at 1.8f is pretty good, but the sharpest ones could come out from 2.8f aperture. It is great lense if you photograph inside, with the little light you can get some great pictures.. AF is amazing, it is fast and sharp! I use it with D90 and by the time you half press the shutter bigno ! it focus!
certainly not a pro-portrait lense, but this little boy can sure surprise you with the outcome.. If you have kids and would like to capture some happy moments while they play then you got to hook this lense to your cam, it captures fast and well exposed pictures inside with very little light... it def. worths that 120 buckss!
Enjoy!
LOVE this lens February 13, 2010

I'm just a beginner and own a Nikon D60 with both the 18-55mm wide angle kit lens as well as a 50-200mm zoom lens. I added this lens for the fact that to me, it combines the benefits of both those lenses in one, at an excellent price point. I can take photos that have shallow depth of field and I can take them without having to use the zoom lens while not having to be 2568974 ft away from my subject. Granted this lens will not work in all scenarios, but for a situation where I'm in close proximity to my subject but am looking for that portrait effect, this is FABULOUS. I read that some people had trouble fitting this lens on their D60 but I've had absolutely no problems with it. The size is so compact (smaller than my 18-55mm kit lens for sure) that I'm pretty confident this is the lens I'll be keeping on my camera majority of the time from now on. Yes, it does not auto focus on the D60. But I like the creativity that's allowed with having to manually focus the image. All in all, I'm VERY happy with the lens. I recommend it hands down.
Best Lens I have for my D90 February 12, 2010

I use this lens all the time, it rarely comes off. Very inexpensive but the picture quality and DOF are better then some more expensive lens. No zoom but it you just need to be ok with getting close to your subject. Worth every penny!!
Must Buy.... February 9, 2010

bought this Lens for my Nikon D5000, I was afraid that it might not behave in accordance to the caliber of the D5000 body, but I was amazed to see the results. This is a nikkor lens manufactured especially for Nikon DSLR's, I own a 70-300 telephoto, 18-55 standard nikon lens and a fish eye and now this 50mm portrait lens, which completes the package. The lens does not comes with a motorized automatic focus and so is sensitive enough to through the picture of focus so mind that you ensure the frame is in focus. I would recommend using eye-piece over live view feature, it helps ensuring crisp picture...... long story short.... must buy lens, awesome for portrait photography. The depth of field could be controlled by setting the aperture, you will be amazed to see that the DoF changes dramatically just by setting aperture, so get the lens and start shooting, I have posted few customer provided images, so please chck them to see the fantabulous results...... enjoy clicking

 Great lens but no autofocus on the D5000 or the D40 February 8, 2010

I really enjoy this lens. The large aperture is wonderful. However the lens has no motor in it, so on the Nikon D500 and the D40 there is no auto focus available. I do not know if it will work on other Nikon cameras; these are the only two I have tried it with.
