AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G

Running it at about 75mm on a DX camera. It is a sharp fast lens that works decently indoors without a flash. Don´t miss it not having VR either as with the f1.8 lens it is quick enough in most situations you won´t miss it.
Everything I read so far was right. You do need a fixed focus lens for your first DSLR and this is a great one for the money.

Coming to prime lens which is a further extensive decision that i took, I got stuck with lot of options. There are too many prime lenses available and was unable to find the best one suitable for me. I have gone to many reviews and recommendations through out the net finally i purchased this lens. What can i say.. its so awesome for street photography and Bokey is just Bockelicious..! (sorry my spellings are wrong)
The lens is very fast and very compatible with my D7100.
The AF speed good and decent, and it can be overdrive anytime- I found this more useful feature - better than 1.8D. Sharpness is good wide open and excellent from 2.2 and up- the tested copy of 50mm G´s on SLR gear site must be a lemon copy ( also at 2.2 has little less vignetting and bokeh fringing), contrast is very good wide open and it´s not hazy(!) like in other primes wide open apertures. It´ renders good natural colors with neutrall feel in them perhaps little towards warm side and not very ´´cold´´ looking ( at least on my copy). A lot of people say that 50mm is useless on dx- I don´t agree on this I think this is totally fine focal length on dx !

Just got this lens....brand new. First, I have a very hard time putting it on, and taking it off my camera. I feel as though I will break either my camera or the lens. Second, it will not focus at all. When I look through my viewfinder it´s a blurred mess. Third, I believe the focus ring is messed up. It seems like a cheap plastic mess. I will try one more time, but It will probably be going back. My Canon has a great 50mm 1.8. No problems with it at all.

Works with D50, great lens, good for indoor low light. Happy with it. recommend it.

I was deciding between the 1.4 and the 1.8. After reading many reviews, I picked this lens, didn´t disappoint!

I´m new to the DSLR community so I did some research on what lens would be the best fit for my needs...mainly taking photos of my nine month old. I´m so glad I chose this lens - the photos I´ve taken with it are beautiful. I still have a lot to learn so I can´t wait to see everything this lens is capable of!

This lens is very fast and very high response.

Every photographer had this lens.

Awesome performance at such price. No essential flaw. Great resolution as long as focus properly.
It is versatile, but no outstanding personality.
Two aspects of dissatisfaction.
1. focus shift occurred one year after bought it.
2. severe chromatic aberration at strong back light.

I love this little lens. It´s great for portraits and night photography because of its f1.8. I also love it for its size. It´s nice and light when having to carrying it around on a day-long shoot.
