    Never Leaves My Camera

    Posted by vinylandplaid on August 6, 2011

    This lens is really awesome; it never leaves my D5000. It is really good in low-light, but I would suggest a tripod to prevent motion blur. I hardly ever leave it on f/1.8 in the light though, because it is sort of soft, but it is really good at capturing motion. The best part about this lens that really was the selling point for me was that its pretty cheap and it autofocuses, even on my D5000! I do suggest this lens to any beginner or professional, because, being a prime, it doesn´t zoom, so it helps you with composition and you have to move if your going to get closer.

    This lens is worth every penny.

    I recently bought this lens and from the moment I started snapping, I was in love. The focus is so fast and so crisp and the manual and auto focus both are incredible. The manual focus ring is really, really easy to use as well. The focus is so sharp, too. The image quality is fantastic. It´s small and easy to carry with you too, which might just be something I enjoy having, but it´s a bonus. This is first lens I have used besides my kit lens and I´m happy this is the one I picked.

    I would highly recommend this lens to anyone. It´s easy to use and the images it produces are mind blowing. If you are having second thoughts about purchasing this lens - don´t. It´s absolutely amazing.

    Nice addition at an unbeatable price.

    This lens is sharp and a produces great color. You can´t beat the sharpness of this lens at this price range. I am very pleased with the results I get from this lens. It sits as a great addition right next to the reasonably priced 35mm f1.8g.

    Sharp and Fast

    Posted by Nikonjin on June 2, 2011

    I am staying in Japan and just bought it yesterday (first day this lens released here). I took it to take street snapshots at Shinjuku the day after and here is my comments:
    - first, this lens is extremely sharp. It´s even much sharper than the 35mm f1.8g which I also have.
    - the autofocus is really fast. I always get perfect shot timing without waiting for the lens to focus.
    - the lens is not heavy and not so light either, it has perfect weight

    Final words, I HIGHLY recommend anyone to own this lens.

    Hope Nikon´s got enough to produce it fast enough

    Posted by Prophecies on May 6, 2011

    This is so totally gonna be a hit. I am a D3000 shooter and I was so depressed by OLD 50 not being AF-S. I´m very excited till the details and ESP comes out.
    This is gonna be even more a hot cake than 35mm F/1.8 AF-s...
