  1. canhmen

    I bought this lens for my wife , she told me she like it .

  2. Erik

    Awesome prime lens. This was the first one i bought and it works great for portraits.

  3. Sonofdraven29

    Absolutely incredible. The f/1.4 produces stunning images. Extremely happy with quality of build, noise level of motor, and overall value of lens.

  4. Robby

    Don’t leave home without it. Great low light lens with my D850.

  5. MonkeyDLuffy

    Great lens for portrait and street photography! Love the lens, and definitely a must buy if you’re a Nikon enthusiast who shoots portraits.

  6. Shun

    Bokeh background are beautiful clean and crispy !!

  7. David

    This is the first standard lens I’ve purchased. It produces very, very good pics. I’m still learning it’s capability but know enough to recommend it. If useful, I use it with my Nikon D-5000.

  8. WhatUpRell

    It’s good lens but I’ll be honest even if you’re working low light there’s not a big enough difference in photos for the price difference between the 1.8 and 1.4

  9. Techtoys

    Very nice for portraits photo, always love Nikon lens.

  10. Foodandstuff

    Nice camera lens. Very good in low light . No complaints here.

  11. Bartu

    Cheap ultimate portrait mode and good for night pictures

  12. Jill

    I’m a portrait and product photographer and I absolutely LOVE this lens. I’d previously been shooting with a nice zoom lens, but this one is so much nicer. I shot in low light the other day for an infant photography session at home and the photos turned out spectacular. It really is worth the extra money to get the f/1.4 over the f/1.8!

  13. Sammy

    Did not work properly. Could not get any assistance to figure out why

  14. Cwilbor

    Great lens a must have in your camera bag I also have a 50mm 1.8

  15. Maxwell

    Gorgeous lens. Recommended by relative who is a professional photographer. Miles beyond what we had before. Arrived quickly.

  16. Disappointed

    Nice lens, I just wish I would have received it before Christmas, pretty much the reason why I wanted it. The bill showed up before the lens did.

  17. mrbrown76

    Takes beautiful photos. Ditch the kit lens. You wont be disappointed

  18. gofever

    Wonderful lens, everyone should have a nifty fifty millimeter in their collection.

  19. nren

    beautiful lens and worth the money but if youre on a budget ive seen the 1.8 take great photos as well.

  20. Misteek

    Bought it so my wife can take portrait pictures. Absolutely amazing. She did take a few classes to get the best out of the lens. Well worth the price.

  21. RichardCranium

    Excellent lens, works great in low light environments, great detail.

  22. Leigh

    Not the best focus, would rather purchase a sigma or the 58 1.4 from Nikon! That one I love. Not Nikons best lens unfortunately if you’re looking for a 50 in the same price range I’d go for the 50 1.8 from Nikon as a beginner upgrade.

  23. Raj89

    Great lens! Crisp images. I paired with Nikon d850 and it works amazing for portraits.

  24. Amanda

    So much better quality than the kit lens i was using!!! Definitely worth the money to upgrade!

  25. Paulie

    A wide-aperture 50mm lens is one of the most versatile prime lenses almost any photographer can use. Amazing lens very good for portrait.

  26. Zenetta

    One of the best and most essential lenses for your full-frame camera collection. Really great aperture and and focal length and produces super sharp images.

  27. Rover45

    Always used a zoom lens. Bought this for a lighter load with my Nikon D750. The pictures are incredibly sharp. Use it now for most of my pictures. Saves on the shoulder also.

  28. BonBon

    Great lens, easy to use, snug fit. My favorite lens yet!

  29. Uperdave

    Not as crisply sharp focus as the Nikon 50mm f/1.8G.

  30. NancyT

    My “go to” lens while learning digital photography. Sometimes the image isn’t focused, but most likely it is user error.

  31. JeffBezon

    quite nice lens but its what you pay for price (not so good with chroamatic ab)

  32. Jimm

    Great walking around lens. Low light is no longer an issue. Have it mounted on a Nikon Z6 with F mount adapter. I suspect the Z lens would be even crisper but this is a nice item for your camera kit.

  33. Newlens

    Once item was actually received it works out phenomenally

  34. Sara

    I was nervous about buying a 50mm for my crop sensor Nikon d500 but I have had it for a few weeks now and have not taken it off my camera! Sure, I probably would be unhappy in a small room but all in all, it does a beautiful job! My other favorite lens is the 35mm f/1.8 so I wanted to give this 50mm with the f/1.4 a chance especially since the price of a prime lens is so nice. I did my first photoshoot with it and the pictures are absolutely fantastic! There was talk of the pictures being “soft” in some other reviews and I have not seen that. To the recent photoshoot (it was a family and maternity shoot), I brought other lenses along – the Nikkor 35mm f/1.8, Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8, and the Sigma 50-150mm f2.8. But I never took the 50mm off! I am very pleased.

  35. Nmunoz

    Best decision was to invest in the 1.4 instead of the 1.8 i love it!

  36. JoAnnK

    This has been a good lens to have. Fits great on the camera.

  37. Susanna

    Love this lens. Put it on my Nikon d90 & took some portraits with it. Loved the pics. Would definitely recommend it. Still need to try it on my D750.

  38. Debs

    So sharp and fast! This is a great little lens. A much have lens.

  39. Mrdoutonight12

    Awsome lens added it to the collection of others nikon always make a great product

  40. RK01

    At 1.4 aperture this is a very affordable 50mm prime lens for beginners and pros alike especially since f 1.2 prime nikons are almost impossible to come by these days. The lens performed flawlessly out of the box for me. Good Bokeh with sharp images, a good all around lens.

  41. Tglez

    Perfect lens for Nikon d5600, I also tried it out on a Nikon z6 with the adapter and it worked great

  42. Miranda

    This is one of my favorite lens. Perfect for portraits.

  43. SamW

    Crystal clear but a steady hand is required. Not a great lens for beginners but if you have a bit of experience you’ll be very happy with this lens

  44. Jewels

    Excellent. Works exceptionally well. No complaints thus far.

  45. JohnB

    My 85mm lens was great but a little too telescopic. I was in the market for a 50mm . This was a great Black Friday deal at almost half off. Wit a F1.4 setting it is a bright lens

  46. Xxxx

    High quality
    High performance
    Clear shots
    Great enlargements

  47. SickGrails

    For the sale price it was a no brainer! They was sold out I got lucky walking in a store to ask if it was any and it was one left!

  48. Lopezphotography

    Excellent choice for close up portraits for a good price.

  49. Mark

    So far I am really enjoying using this 50mm f/1.4 lens. It has fast autofocus, good bokah, is small, lightweight, and yields sharp images when it hits focus on my D800. But this is my first “modern” G series lens, after using nothing but older AF-D and manual focus lenses on my Nikons, so I don’t have the same perspective or presumptions as other “professional” reviewers have who generally panned this lens’s performance. Regardless, if you can get this lens on sale, it is a great addition if you need a fast prime 50mm F-mount lens. The only downside is that it takes 58mm lens filters, so all my 52mm filters I use on my older prime lenses won’t fit.

  50. ChrisP

    One of my favorite lenses in my bag and at an affordable price. Works really well in low light and focus is typically on point.
