I have the D3000 so I have to manually focus,but the pcitures are amazing, sharp, clear. I use it mostly for shooting my husbands shows, its great in the low light at bars and clubs. i love love love this lens!!

Best lens i´ve ever use with my D50. Sharp and brilliant images.

I own this lens, and find it makes an economical alternative to Nikon´s 50mm f/1.4 lens. It´s compact, and I sometimes use it as a walk-around lens when I know that the 50mm focal length will be enough for informal snapshots.

I end up recommending this lens to friends with DX cameras, as it gives them available light shooting, a portrait lens, and close-up lens (with close-up attachment or extension tubes) for less than $150.00. If you own non-pro Nikon zoom lenses, such as the kit lens, this will be the sharpest lens you own, too.

light wieght, very sharp, small, and inexpensive. When shooting people inside I use this lens first and ofen the only lens used

i paid $110...for this great lens that´s sharp and fast
everyone should get one

Love this lens. It gives me super pictures. I use it at construction sites to capture detail areas.

Sharp, Tacky, accurate and fast.
Best quality for the price.

This is a great lens for portraits. Crisp, clear, compact and oh so fast.

Nikon´s 50mm 1.8D is a great lens for the money. Very lightweight, small, easy to carry anywhere. Sharp from f/2.8, but usable at f/2 for portraits. Contrast is a bit low wide open. Front element is well recessed, so the lens is not particularly susceptible to flare even without a hood. Plastic build, but has a metal lens mount. After 5 years of use the lens still functioned perfectly.
