Revainrating 5 out of 5

The quality is at the level, I am satisfied with everything.

Despite being made in China, this lens is of surprisingly high quality. There has got to be a solution stashed away somewhere. Fifty dollars is the minimum amount that is required for either an amateur or an advanced photographer. After shooting for a brief period of time with a whale, I decided to purchase a 24-120mm f/3.5-5.6 AF-S lens instead. However, despite the fact that we did not immediately become friends with him, this one is solely for the purpose of shooting reportage. A somewhat…

Pros
  • 1. Price 2. Pointed in the direction of an open hole 3. Beautiful bokeh 4. Metal mount 5. a shallow depth of field when using an open aperture 6. Being a lightweight 7. Tenacious autofocus
Cons
  • There are HA in this.

The perfect product for any user!

Even though many people claim that you need to take a photo with a focal length of at least 85 millimeters in order to capture the correct "shapes" of the face, I purchased it for crop (D7200) use as a portrait. But let me tell you, on a crop with a FR like that, you can pretty much forget about shooting in tight spaces like apartments, because even this fifty kopecks is not always enough. I'm telling you this because even this fifty kopecks is not always enough. I debated back and forth…

Pros
  • - More or less adequate price - Color rendition - Accurate AF - Excellent image quality
Cons
  • No results found

A good quality product, I rate this purchase perfectly.

Excellent lens for amateur cameras. Take it, you won't regret it; the crop is quite a "portrait" indoors. On the crop, it is. The 85 mm f/1.8G lens will, of course, be more exciting to use on the street, but purchasing it will cost you twice as much. These are some advantages: Very acute (at 1.8 - already good sharpness, from 2.4 - almost a razor) Lovely bokeh, however the 85mm lens is more suitable. Excellent for taking head-and-shoulders or full-length portraits (for full-length with a crop…

Wonderful quality, one hundred percent satisfied!

Especially considering the price, this glass is of the highest quality. On the crop sensor, the viewing angle is equivalent to 75 millimeters, which indicates that it will go like a portrait (half-length portraiture), whereas on the full-frame sensor, it is a good old fifty dollars. Although the working aperture starts at 2.2, it perfectly lathers the backdrop and is crisp on open holes. For those of you who have a crop, let me just say right off the bat that this lens is not appropriate for…

Pros
  • The price, the light power, the crispness, and the constructiveness.
Cons
  • When the lighting is not ideal, AF will smear. 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.

Very pleased with this purchase, will recommend it to everyone!

1) The best lens available in its price range for taking photographs, particularly half-length portraits, and not simply for taking pictures. 2) I paid 11,800 yuan buying it in Hong Kong to use with my Nikon D3100 camera once I realized how much I missed the quality of my first KIT glass. 18-55 mm 3) "I could not believe it. although this is not the case, I was really taken aback by the focal length of this dashing gentleman. Considering all of the junk that was Kitov, he struck me as a little…

Pros
  • 1) Value for money 2) Representation of colors 3) It creates a cool "bokeh" (blurred background) 4) It has a fast focusing that is accurate. 4) The cape and the case are both included. 5) A diminutive stature and a light load. 6) Constructed in China 7) Metal bayonet 8) Quiet 9) New model 10) Auto focus 11) Great sharpness 12) That seems to be solid and cool (especially with a hood :) aperture, of course, which pretty much sums up everything.
Cons
  • 1) Because of him, I spend a significant amount of time taking pictures.

The perfect product for any user!

After changing the carcass to a full frame, such a familiar viewing angle began to be lacking (I used 35mm and a lot on crop), I bought a fifty dollars and did not regret it. The picture is very nice, practically does not require processing. He doesn’t always keep up with children and animals and misses happen, but what hits is pleasing to the eye. Pros: Sharp from 1.8, light and quiet. The price is definitely a plus. With its cons. Slow focus, periodically smears. The minimum focusing distance

Suitable glass, much more interesting than regular, whale 18-55. I used it for a long time on the Nikon D5300, after on the D3. Pros below: Excellent glass for portraits/landscapes in crop or full frame. Nimble, but noisy built-in motor. Working F1.8. Small weight and size. In general, for a beginner in photography (and for an advanced user) - this glass can be recommended. Bokeh is nice. Different cons: Noisy autofocus motor. On crops, this is no longer a fifty kopeck piece. There is no stub…

The quality was disappointing, the product is bad.

I do not recommend to buy. The usual whale glass that came with the D90 (18-105) does this lens in all respects. Surprisingly not sharp glass on holes up to 10. This is probably why it is made in ketai. Pros: Didn't notice. Compared to the whale Nikkor 18-105, it loses in almost all positions. Sharpness is worse at all aperture values. Somewhat better sharpness at the edges of the frame with 13 apertures. Handles low light conditions better. With its cons. It is not clear how to use the 1.8…

Good product, more pros than cons.

An excellent lens, especially for portraits or shots where you need to separate the background from the main subject being photographed. After the purchase, it is almost not removed, I really liked it. I recommend covering the aperture to 2 or 2.2 (for maximum sharpness, although at 1.8 it is already sharp). Its pros: Very sharp, high aperture, excellent bokeh on an open hole, color reproduction, the front lens does not rotate, high build quality (albeit China), a metal mount with a rubber…

Excellent quality, absolutely not expected for such a price.

Great lens for amateur cameras. On the crop, it’s quite a “portrait” indoors, take it, you won’t regret it. On the street, of course, the 85 mm f/1.8G will be more interesting, but it is twice as expensive. Pros below: Very sharp (at 1.8 - already good sharpness, from 2.4 - almost a razor) Beautiful bokeh (but 85mm is better :-) ) Very good for shooting face-length portraits (for full-length with a crop camera indoors, it is not always possible to run back). Great for reporting too…

Excellent quality, absolutely not expected for such a price.

I have been using it for more than six months, I immediately bought a protective filter: after all, it is more practical to spend 500 on it than it is not known how much later to repair the lens. Has pros: 1) I was afraid that autofocus would miss, but everything is fine 2) The bokeh is really beautiful 3) Aperture pleases, after all, after the whale lens - very convenient 4) Depth of field 5) Easy! Very comfortably! 6) Price. Decent price for a good lens. Its cons: 1) All the same, in…

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…

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

The best price for such a product, I will buy more!

This is my first fix, I was lucky enough to take it to ebay for 4 in perfect condition. Before him, there were only dark zooms, starting with the whale zoom 18-55, later it was 55-200, 18-105 and at the moment I still have nikon 18-200mm. After the first shots on this glass, I was pleasantly shocked by the picture. I also want to buy nikon 35mm g1.8 for landscapes and then nikon 18-200mm. you can safely sell or send to the shelf, suddenly come in handy for travel. You can see my first shots at

Pros
  • An amazing plastic picture, sharp from aperture 1.8, the pictures are airy, a lens for creative photography. Transmits colors beautifully. And of course, cool bokeh.
Cons
  • The minimum focusing distance is only 0.45 m, I would like it to be like a whale 18-55, 0.28 m. Cramped in small rooms. All these shortcomings are just my nitpicking, you should not pay attention to them, in fact, fifty kopecks for the money is just perfect.

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

What is interesting - when compared with Canon - it seems to be more expensive than Canon's 1.8. But! on canon, the same sharpness is obtained only with 2.0, or even with 2.2. And this is a completely different lens, twice as dark . And the build quality cannot be compared - Nikon 1.8 is many times better than Canon 1.8 in quality. As a result, this lens simply has no analogues in canon!

Pros
  • Great lens! Excellent sharpness right from the open aperture!
Cons
  • There are no disadvantages.

The best thing for the money, Im glad I chose this option.

for screwdriverless carcasses - there is no alternative. cheap, for such a combination of aperture and brightness - there are no options. I was pleased with the kit - a soft case, plugs. The lens hood, although Chinese plastic, is quite working. All in all, a great lens for the money. py. Sy .: I'm just starting to photograph, I don't need lenses for a hundred thousand)

Pros
  • light coloured! bright! sharpness 5+ fast, automatically hits in 90% of cases nice price
Cons
  • for canons this is cheaper)

Finally, a good portrait "fifty kopeck" appeared. More precisely two, 50 / 1.8 and 50 / 1.4 I took 50 / 1.8 because it suits me with a picture, and I don’t really need aperture 1.4. I took it in the States, where the lens cost $ 220. In 2022, the price is 1.5 times more expensive. The focus on my copy is accurate. When buying, you can check the focus on a test image. search the web for a Focus test chart. The lens produces an excellent picture, close to my reference F35 / 2.0Ai

Pros
  • great Picture. Good color rendering. A very beautiful transition to blur and the blur zone itself is superbly blurred. For gourmets: the bokeh is magnificent. Finally, Nikon got a budget fifty dollars with a good picture. The previous 50 / 1.8D is unacceptable for me with an ugly blur. The cards are so good that in some cases they can be given to customers without processing. There are no complaints from F2.4 on the crop to the picture.
Cons
  • Didn't find significant The aperture is not completely rounded, unlike 50 / 1.4, the highlights are not perfectly round, with an increase in F from 4.8 and above, they begin to show edges. Test photos are on PhotAmazon. De. I use the more open f2.4-f4.8 at these apertures the effect is negligible. The plastic hood looks flimsy. I would like a smoother focus ring with manual focus.

Well done, but I wont buy any more.

Everything is good in this lens, but the distance of 50 mm on the crop is correctly said: "under-staff and under-portrait." Ideally, a staffer needs a zoom, for a portrait - 85 mm. In general, it is sorely lacking indoors))) I really like the picture, but it’s better to take 35 mm for crop and enjoy! Photo examples: https://fotki. .

  • Focal length

The ratio of price and quality is very pleasing, I will repeat the purchase.

I don’t know where to attribute the price =) Personally, I took it for 7800. Yes, not the cheapest, but compared to more professional lenses, the price is very reasonable (besides, for such a high-quality lens). I use it with Nikon D5100, there are no problems, everything is convenient. In the store I compared it with 35 mm, but only after putting 50 mm I realized that this is what I needed. I advise you to buy, to feel what a fixed aperture lens is :)

Pros
  • 1. Very fast focusing. On my 18-55 it is much slower, although its speed was enough for me. 2. Aperture. After whale 3.5-5.6 - heaven and earth. For example: I have a whale 18-55, at home, even with all the energy-bright bulbs, in order to get a NOT dark photo, the settings had to be set something like this: Exposure: no higher than 50 Aperture: maximum open 3.5 ISO: not less than 500 At 50 mm offhand I put the following: Exposure: 200 Aperture: 1.8 ISO: 0 And it turned out amazing. That's why he's bright =) 3. The lens is small, short, comfortable to wear, now you can just put it neatly in your bag, do not take a special wardrobe trunk. 4. The colors are bright and saturated and without processing, there are no complaints about sharpness. 6. Background blur is excellent, no problem, beautiful drawing, good for portraits. 7. Light in weight, the whale one was not heavy, and with this lens the camera is almost not felt. Which, by the way, is not for everyone. I have a Nikon 5100, it’s even uncomfortable for my husband to hold it (small), and without weighting it got even worse. 8. Focus options: You can choose either manual control or automatic with manual override. It's two in one, very convenient.
Cons
  • 1. Fixed focal length. Legs really have to run. Unaccustomed to uncomfortable =) 2. Few things enter the frame, you have to move away well, for example, to shoot in full growth, but for the house it’s quite enough - even if there are a lot of people - they enter the photo waist-deep. 3. The assembly is plastic, not metal. Minus controversial, for me it does not matter. Be careful and all.

The perfect purchase for me, exactly what I was looking for!

I bought this lens a couple of days ago, I use it with the D3000, after the whale it's just a magical lens! I don't let go of my camera! I was afraid for a long time that there would be a lot of 50mm on the crop, but it turned out that it’s okay, you just have to move away)) unrealistically beautiful bokeh, again after the 18-55 whale, the aperture is amazing! Even though it's made in China, it's very well made! The camera looks like a mega-cool SLR with it, especially with a lens hood))) Worth

Pros
  • aperture, bokeh, not large size, color reproduction, autofocus with budget carcasses, and much more!))
Cons
  • autofocus often runs back and forth, can’t focus for a long time, but in the end it turns out))

Not a bad buy, well worth the money.

2 times was the owner of Nikon 50mm f / 1.8D but could not make friends with him. At shutter speeds up to 1/60 there were constant blurs. Autofocus often missed, and noisy a / f on this lens. Nikon 35mm f / 1.8G didn’t like it either (it’s terribly chromatic, autofocus misses, the background blurs into a dirty spot) I shot portraits on Nikon 70-300mm f / 4.5-5.6G ED-IF AF-S VR and on a re-sharpened Helios 44M- four. From the first, gorgeous portraits are obtained, but you need to run far away…

Pros
  • Sharp at f/2.2 fast autofocus (D300s) lens hood beautiful bokeh (sometimes it spins like on Helios) light (does not outweigh the carcass) nice to hold
Cons
  • Chromatic aberrations (rare, but still) narrow on the crop
