## Description

Nikon 50mm Nikkor F/1.8D AF Prime Lens for DSLR Camera (Black) : NIKON: desertcart.in: Electronics

Review: One of the best lenses in the world - I was using 18-55 kit lens & then seeing some photographers I purchased nikor 70-300 lens. Though it is a telephoto zoom lens, still it (70-300) gives a good brokeh effect for portrait photography. After few days I managed to buy this one Nikor 50mm f 1.8D Believe me, It is one of the best lenses in the world. The brokeh is so denser man. Picture quality is crystal clear also it is very much preferable for low light photography. But if you want auto focus in your beginner level cameras like 3000 or 5000 series, keep distance from this lens & go for 1.8G version. It is only for those who loves manual focusing. Have a try. It's the best budget lens for human portraits. Go for it. 5 starts
Review: BANG for the BUCK! - The Nikon 50mm f1.8 comes in two variants: 50mm f1.8D and 50mm f1.8G. This one is the "D" version which does not have an Autofocus feature. It works in all Nikon DSLRs, but the autofocus would work only in cameras with internal autofocus motor, that is, the D90 series, D7000 series and above. It is not meant for full frame cameras as well. Let me get into a detailed review. The lens is very well designed and feels pretty sturdy. It is well build with a strong plastic body and a metal mount. There is a manual aperture controller as well, with means it works with the older SLR cameras from Nikon. For current DSLRs, it is required to lock in at the maximum aperture. This feature also comes in handy if you are a budget photographer, to take macro images with the use of a lens reversal ring. I personally felt that the focus ring is a bit tighter than on the Canon version of this lens, as I couldn't shoot smooth focus transitions in video. But for stills, it is an astounding lens with brilliant bokeh, sharpness and colour reproduction. The focus has to be carefully adjusted, by looking at the green dot that appears in the lower left of the viewfinder to obtain tack sharp focus.The minimum focusing point is 0.45m, which is decent for a 50mm prime, but a bit less for me, personally. Readily go for it if you're okay with focusing shots manually. However, I wouldn't recommend this lens to a beginner because you would need something more simpler to practise on and improve your photographic skills. For video shooting, go for it if you are confident enough about turning the focus ring smoothly. And believe me, the focus ring goes a long way from 0.45m to infinity! For video shooters, I also recommend a stabilizer because the footage is very shaky at 50mm. Considering overall, this is a wonderful lens, if chosen for the right purpose. It has been serving my needs since a year, and is still safe and sound!
