Review on Nikon 50mm f/1.8D Lens: Perfect for Nikon DSLR Cameras! by Ada Wado ᠌

Didn't like the lens. Possibly, when he gets the shot right, he produces a good photograph; however, working with him is a frustrating and unpleasant experience. This is true even when using a high-end camera like the Nikon D750. To begin, when the lens is being focused, it produces a very obnoxious and loud noise, continually idling the focus back and forth while gradually slowing down in extreme positions with some kind of bumps and pops. The focus is sluggish and frequently off, somewhere in the range of one out of every 10 times (whale 24-120 F4 probably misses 1 out of 200). Therefore, it is not at all suitable for use on a daily basis as a light street or reportage lens because the outcome of the photograph cannot be predicted. Now, regarding the cost, many people have the impression that it is quite affordable for some reason. The question could be phrased as "well, what do you want for that kind of money?" Yes, "value for money" is very important to me. As if it were only 50 bucks rather than 130. Only in comparison to other nikkors is it reasonably priced. And Canon's fifty dollar 1.8II, which was a direct competitor (the same plastic, antediluvian and miserable) was cheaper, and the STM version, which costs the same now, is quiet, fast, and more modern (and Canon also has a forty millimeter f/2.8, which is a little more expensive, but better by an order of magnitude: small, sharp, quiet, and never smeared). The rotating focus ring is also a separate source of annoyance because it causes a great deal of interference and frequently slides under the arm. Well, in addition to that, it is ridiculously unsightly, particularly when viewed through a high-resolution camera. It would be preferable if it were smaller in length but had a larger diameter. I am aware that a professional reflex camera is not an iPhone and that it is not intended for bragging rights, but I believe that aesthetics still play a role in this.
