Read The Helpful Nikon 50mm 1.8 Evaluation And Find Out Why This Lens Is Such A Joy To Use
No Nikon 50mm 1.8 review will be detailed without mentioning the highly clear pictures that this lens creates, all for a very cheap price.
The focal length of 50mm is considered to be the closest in scope and depth to what the human eye interprets, and thereby it has experienced many years in the publicity as a great general purpose lens, doubling as a 75mm portraiture lens on an APS-C DSLR body.
As well as great image quality and reasonable price, this lens is very light weight and small enough that it will simply live in your jeans, making it a great mobile lens for no additional effort.
Optically, the Nikon 50mm 1.8 lens consists of 6 elements organized in 5 sets (with the aperture functioning featuring 7 diaphragm blades). The lowest length of focusing is 0.45m and the filter dimension is 52mm.
As was stated previously, this lens is quite handy at only 64x39mm plus light at only 155g.
You might think that since this lens is so cheap, that its picture feature must be on the cheap side as well. However, the build quality of this lens is rather reliable with a combination of metal and polycarbonate as the primary materials.
The relatively small rubber focus ring has a very smooth focus and the front element does not rotate with a polarizer built in so this is an additional good thing too - we all know how frustrating a rotating front part with a polarizer could be.
In general the Nikon 50mm 1.8 does not have the same recognition that a lot of the leading Nikon lenses do, but it is still a quiet and very competent achiever in its own right.
It does not fall down badly in any particular area, maybe the only bad point could be that it is soft on the borders wide open and perhaps carries a slight contrast deficiency too.
Of course for the cost, these minor details can easily be ignored when buying this awesome Nikkor 50mm 1.8.
