Not the best quality, but overall not bad.

The quality control of the specimens is somehow not encouraging, ancient lenses from film cameras focus more accurately and some even faster. Maybe I was so lucky, but 5 stores were with jambs from minor corrections in units + - to specific spans of 25-30mm, which is not even corrected by the carcass. Before buying, carefully check all the details, come with a ruler, otherwise 1.8 will not be of any use with skew autofocus

Pros
  • +Price + Aperture +Sharpness + Relatively quiet and fast af motor + Good color reproduction and bokeh
Cons
  • -The motor is fast, but it's good if out of 5 copies 5 with jambs in focus -More misses in the dark

The product is good, there are only a few minor flaws.

There are no complaints about the quality of the picture, it is very sharp, the D600 resolves without problems, even in the open (there is some pleasant and slight softness - but NOT soapiness). The assembly is also of high quality, albeit China. But the abundance of plastic confuses. You take it in your hands, turn it around and feel how the center of gravity is shifted to the metal fastening ring, without it you would fly away from the sneeze at all. But this is a trifle compared to the…

Pros
  • Pros: - Price for such quality - Assembly is good - Comes with hood and bag - And, of course, picture quality
Cons
  • Minuses: - Still, if it were heavier, it would be more pleasant - Plastic, plastic and more plastic

A wonderful product, its nice to use.

From fast aperture I shot on "Helios 44M" through an adapter and Lushnikov's chip. Yes, I liked the pictures, but today I bought this wonderful lens and I am completely delighted! Focusing speed, picture quality, color reproduction, everything is on top! Gorgeous lens! Here are pictures without tricks, I mean photoshop and stuff. http://fotki. .

Pros
  • Some merit! 1. Price 2. Aperture 3. Convenience and weight! 4. Metal. bayonet 5. Bokeh
Cons
  • For this price - none! No stub! You have to shoot either using a tripod, or reducing the shutter speed to 1/100 so that there is no blur. We lose the advantage of aperture ratio.

An ideal product for any type of consumer.

I use on D5100 I like this lens. For this price, a very good result. Aperture f1.8 - f2.2 is only suitable for close-up portraits. If to the waist, it is better to clamp it. I would buy a 35mm lens for myself. If you decide to buy a polarizing or ultraviolet filter, then I do not recommend saving. I bought a SUNPAK polarizer. it lathers the picture terribly. and the photos turned out to be spoiled. I recommend this lens for purchase.! S. P. before buying in a store, make a lot on the table…

Pros
  • + sharp at f2 to f9 + background blur picture + light + compact + autofocus (in good light) + quiet + 58 mm filter diameter. (not expensive) + fine-tuning autofocus manually without switching the button.
Cons
  • = viewfinder small difficult to hit the target when shooting wide open. = recessed lens if you do not put on a filter, then it is hard to clean from dust. = If the lens hood is worn in the stowed position, manual focus cannot be performed. - autofocus prowling in the dark. - HA are present on the open aperture - f9 to f16 soapy images.

I expected mediocre quality, but the product was pleasantly surprised.

I shot 3000 frames, about 30% of f1.8, f2.0 shots are not clear at all. At F4, both clarity and sharpness appear, and almost without HA. Although what to expect is not Macro. And yet, I want to overpay for 1.4 and see what it will give out for 2.0. I don’t pay attention to the speed of autofocus for my tasks, it doesn’t matter.

Pros
  • Weight, size, price, aperture, bokeh. For me, a very clean picture.
Cons
  • Weeds on autofocus. It does not cope well with backlight, even with a hood. Decent chromate at low values ​​from 1.8 to 2.2

Reliable purchase, guaranteed to be a good one.

I have been using this lens for a little less than a year. I chose between f/1.4 and f/1.8 for a long time, read reviews, looked at the characteristics, and chose 1.8 because of the price. I took a lens with 1,4 from a friend to compare the quality of the picture, and was pleasantly surprised - the differences are not noticeable. Both lenses deliver sharp images, soft bokeh, and natural color reproduction. And if there is no difference, why pay more?! :-) I shoot on a crop, as a result, the…

Pros
  • Cutting! Fast! And all the ensuing consequences!
Cons
  • I didn’t find any special shortcomings (maybe there’s nothing to compare with yet, this is only the third lens), Chromatitis 7 blades on the diaphragm.

The right product for me, the price suited me.

This lens itself is very good, for the price! I use Nikon D200 on the crop, an excellent portrait lens, I even shoot weddings on this without any problems! Color reproduction is good, detail is also good (if the camera doesn't miss the autofocus), autofocus is quiet and the speed is average. The disadvantage of autofocus is that in low light (and even sometimes with more than enough) it fidgets back and forth, then stops (1/5 of a second) to double-check, the rosary pulls there (or here :)) and

Pros
  • Color reproduction, price
Cons
  • Autofocus, backlight

For the sake of interest, I compared it with my staff member 18-105, the difference is very noticeable. At 50mm, with the same parameters (shutter speed, aperture, ISO), the picture is cleaner. even a little lighter, the elaboration of details is noticeably higher (especially at the edges of the frame). Bokeh is much prettier. In general, I advise for creativity experiments.

Pros
  • An excellent lens, 1.5 years ago it was brought from the USA (at that time it cost 6200 in). Sharp, bright, fast autofocus. In combination with the d5000, it gives a very decent picture.
Cons
  • At this price, they just don't exist.

The quality is at the highest level, be sure to try it.

the lens is not perfect of course, but the PICTURE that it gives out above all praise is excellent sharpness with an open one, and the sharpness is not simple like on most lenses, namely, drawing sharpness, so to speak, draws straight lines ! Well, the second undoubted plus of this lens is its bokeh, IT IS REALLY TWISTED, creative and unique, for me personally after this bokeh, all other lenses seem somehow boring or something)))) take one hundred percent! all photos with aperture 1.8 !

Pros
  • incredibly beautiful and plastic drawing, excellent sharpness with an open, perfectly conveys colors, swirling bokeh is just class ! manual focus adjustment in automatic mode is a very useful thing !
Cons
  • like all fast fixes, it smears on an open hole, about 2-3 out of 10 photos can miss (especially in poor lighting), but it is for portraits, so we make a couple of identical frames and don’t worry about a miss, plus you can always manually bring the focus ring where you need it ))) on the open a lot of chromatic aberration

The first glass to buy after the whale. Instead of a whale, I would not recommend it, all the same, you need to be able to fix it and, most importantly, get used to working. Everything that is better than this glass in terms of picture quality costs an ORDER more expensive, and the visual increase will be barely noticeable. Likewise with luminosity. 1.4 is already a different weight and price, 1.2 will add these parameters exponentially. In my opinion, for most photographers, it is more than…

Pros
  • 1. For its price, the best thing you can buy after a whale on any Nikon. 2. Lightweight, small. 3. Fast autofocus. 4. Sharp enough from 1.8, which is not the case with analogues from Canon, Sonya, etc. (and for a lot of money). 5. Color, bokeh is excellent. 6. PRICE - 7for used ideally. 7. Makes all zooms (even PROshnye 2.8 for 100+) in resolution and color reproduction. Sharpness is not worse. 8. Due to the weight and size, it can be carried everywhere, it will fit into any bag as an addition to a whale, for example. 9. Manual adjustment is possible with automatic focusing (a trifle, but nice, it can be very useful, not on all more expensive glasses). 10. Relevant in 2022 and will be so for another 10 years, or maybe more. 11. Buying and selling on the secondary market for the same amount is not a problem.
Cons
  • I can't even think of anything. Really . Well, wishing for dust and moisture protection is stupid. It will be completely different weight and price. And most importantly, this is not the option that 95% of fans need. How many times have you shot in the pouring rain (he is not afraid of small splashes). Suede covers are also not put in budget glasses. ) Yes, and with Ali they will be better and thicker.

I am amazed at how well made the product is, just magical!

1) The best lens in its price range for shooting portraits (especially half-length) and not only 2) I bought it for the D3100 camera in Hong Kong for 11800, after I began to miss the quality of my first KIT glass 18-55 mm 3) "I was amazed . although no - I was just shocked by the aperture ratio of this handsome man! For me, he was a little unusual after the Kitov garbage, After acquiring, after the first shots, I realized how awesome he was and there was no limit to joy. This is the lens…

Pros
  • 1) Value for money 2) Color rendition 3) Makes cool "bokeh" (blurred background) 4) Fast and accurate autofocus 4) Hood and case included. 5) Small size and light weight. 6) Made in China 7) Metal bayonet 8) Quiet 9) New model 10) Auto focus 11) Excellent sharpness 12) Looks solid and cool (especially with a hood :) and of course aperture, and that says it all .
Cons
  • 1) Because of him, I spend a lot of time photographing

Great value for the money, definitely recommended!

It didn’t work out for me with fifty dollars, this 3rd one in a row before that there were 1.8D versions twice. On the crop (Nikon D7100) they give me an unclaimed FR (there are also 35mm and 85mm). I use it for walking light, when I don’t feel like carrying a heavy 35ku (Sigma Art) - small and light. The picture is sharp in the center from the open, with f / 2.8 sharp in the field, with very good contrast, minimal distortion. It focuses faster than my other fixes, does not require adjustment…

Pros
  • - sharp - fast autofocus - compact and lightweight
Cons
  • The flaws are negligible, especially considering the price.

I am satisfied, the purchase is quite successful.

I bought a Nikon d5100 for the camera. On a cropped matrix, the focal length is 75 mm. For me it is quite convenient. Shows no signs of distortion. When shooting a face for the whole frame, there is no distortion (nosing) as on 35 mm DX-ce. Depth of field is just superb. The back blurs perfectly. With a frag of 1.8, of course, the sharpness is not 100%. But after a few sighting sessions, the photos come out of excellent quality. On light objects slightly chromate, but very weakly. I recommend…

Pros
  • Depth of field! Lightweight, comfortable, bright. It has its own focus motor. Hood and case included.
Cons
  • It needs a protective filter, as it has such a design that the lens does not move inside, but outside when focusing. And dust can easily get under the edges of the lens.

Reliable purchase, guaranteed to be a good purchase.

I use with D3100. Before that, I used only whale 18-55. Now the whale is lying in a bag, I rarely get it, only when I need a wide angle. I took 50 mm especially for a portrait, and for low light, but it suits a lot. I did not regret a bit as I started shooting with him. After the acquisition, after the first three shots, I realized how awesome he was and there was no limit to joy. This is the lens thanks to which you will get a lot of pleasure from the received photos. With this lens, even on…

Pros
  • Compact, lightweight, bright. Suitable for walking. Beautiful bokeh. Takes wonderful pictures. Worth the money to the last penny. Such a lens must be taken and no doubt. Shoots in the most difficult light conditions. For a picture, light from 3 candles is enough (for example, a person with a cake)
Cons
  • If you shoot a video, then it is slightly twitchy if your hands are shaking. because there is no VR. It is advisable to wear a light filter as protection against dust.

The product is good, there are only a few minor flaws.

This is my third nikkor after 28/1.8 and 105 macro. I took it because of the price. After the above glasses, it seemed terribly slow. It is very difficult to catch children indoors and in the evening, almost impossible. 9 out of 10 photos in the furnace. Among other things, autofocus often misses. However, for shooting static glass is not bad. The subject is in focus. The background lathers well. Does it make sense to buy? Don't know. Except because of the price. For me, this is a temporary…

Pros
  • Sharp, small, light, cheap
Cons
  • Brake autofocus

Good quality product, the price is commensurate with the quality.

I bought it for crop (D7200) as a portrait, although many say that you need to take at least 85 mm for the correct "shapes" of the face. But, I tell you, on a crop with such a FR, you can practically forget about shooting in tight spaces, such as apartments, because even this fifty kopecks is not always enough. For a long time I chose between 50 mm 1.4G and 50 mm 1.8G. Having studied more detailed information and the specifics of the operation of a faster lens, I came to the conclusion that I…

Pros
  • - More or less adequate price - Color rendition - Accurate AF - Excellent image quality

A good quality product, I rate this purchase perfectly.

I am very pleased with the purchase. I chose between 1.8G, 1.4G, 1.8D and 1.4D. I collected links to reviews, tests and comparisons here, in the hope that it will be useful to someone: http://x-taboo. Ru/post/115/nikon-50-mm-nikkor.

Pros
  • Aperture, sharpness, image quality.
Cons
  • Well, perhaps China, as already mentioned, is a little mentally annoying :) But, except for the inscription "Made in China", the Chinese assembly has not yet manifested itself in anything, TTT :)

Best thing for the money, glad I did it.

was taken in addition to the 18-55 kit, but 50mm immediately became the main one, the whale is now lying idle in the case. The quality of 50mm shots is an order of magnitude higher: I’d rather climb the wall so that everything fits into the frame than I’ll fasten a whale. For those who write that the focus is not tenacious or there is little sharpness at 1.8 - I advise you to master the aperture priority mode, vary the depth of field. It’s better not to shoot on a machine with this lens - it’s…

Pros
  • Aperture 1.8, 50 mm on the crop, tenacious autofocus, sharp already from 1.8, lens hood and case included, metal mount, very compact, when focusing, the lens and the focus ring do not rotate, it is possible to fine-tune the focus by hand in the "m / a" mode, the distance scale is hidden under the glass in the window, the rubber seal on the bayonet, the N3100 looks more solid with it, especially with the lens hood;
Cons
  • not a clear switch "m-m / a", learn to climb walls;

I didn't expect the quality to be so high.

Quite a high-quality lens, although the manufacturer is China. There must be a fix in the arsenal. Fifty dollars is exactly what both an amateur and an advanced photographer need. I shot on a whale for a short time, then I bought 24-120 / 3.5-5.6 AF-S. Well, that one is purely for reportage shooting, although we did not immediately become friends with him. A little peculiar glass, they write that it is soapy, but if you understand its principle of operation, then the photos are sharp. But with…

Pros
  • 1. Price 2. Sharp on an open hole 3. Beautiful bokeh 4. Metal mount 5. Small depth of field at an open aperture 6. Lightweight 7. Tenacious autofocus
Cons
  • there are HA

Great value for the money, definitely recommended!

Excellent glass, especially for such money. On the crop, the viewing angle is equivalent to 75 mm, which means it will go like a portrait (half-length portraits), but on the FF it’s a good old fifty dollars. Perfectly lathers the background, sharp on open holes, although the working aperture still starts at 2.2. For those who have a crop, I’ll say right away that this lens is not suitable for shooting a birthday in Khrushchev, if you are going to shoot in an apartment, then take a closer look…

Pros
  • Price, light power, sharpness, constructive.
Cons
  • In poor lighting, AF smears. Chromatite, fairly strong distortion when shooting at close range, but this is perhaps the drawback of all fixes, which is easily corrected either with a carcass or in lightroom.
