Review on Nikon AF-S Nikkor 50mm πŸ“· f/1.8G Lens: Exceptional Image Quality and Versatility by Athit Lordkaew ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

A good and high-quality product, but there are disadvantages.

I have been using the lens for a long time, for more than a year, I photographed first on the D5000, then on the D7000. At first I was delighted, for the last 4 months I went with this fix without taking it off, because I sold the rest of the lenses, during this time I learned a lot about it. Claims added to the enthusiasm. Today I tested two lenses: Nikon 18-105mm f / 3.5-5.6G, Nikon 18-140mm f / 3.5-5.6G. I considered them exclusively as a temporary option, because they are cheap, I didn’t particularly find fault. But I was shocked when I discovered that the chromatic aberrations of the fix are 2 times greater than those of the whale 18-105! At the same time, the aperture was closed to 3.5 with a maximum of 1.8. Below are 3 photos from different lenses, see for yourself. Photos are signed. http://yadi. Sk/d/uOsRxdO2GCRGF http://yadi.

They can create masterpieces if you do not use aperture 1.8 in backlight. And in general it is better to cover at least up to 2-2.2. Then you will continue to think about which fix to buy.

Pros
  • - Aperture - Beautiful drawing (blur with low depth of field, bokeh) - Little weight - Compact dimensions - Color rendition - Fast autofocus
Cons
  • - Chromatic aberrations - Lack of VR => when shooting handheld at shutter speeds below 1/70, it can smear
