AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G

Have a feeling this won´t be leaving my camera for a while. Crisp photos, great in low light, all around awesome lens.

Very sharp images.
Great for indoors.
a must have! =)

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.

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.

after waiting 6 weeks for this lens i finally got it and have loved it ever sense i took it out of the box! The auto focus is smooth, quiet and quick and the depth of field is absolutely amazing! i would absolutely recommend this to a friend!

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.

This is the perfect lens for portraits with exellent sharpness and really fast AF.

Sharpens is great.. The pictures are crisp.

A wonderful lens... a must have in every Nikon Camera Bag ! ! ! ! ! !

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.
