Customer Digital SLR Lens Reviews

Don’t expect a Mercedes for the price of a Hyundai- great lens for the price!!
I bought this nikkor lens to complement the 18-55mm lens that came with my D50. The people who criticize this lens certainly have the right to their opinions but I don’t feel they are keeping the price of the lens in perspective while reviewing the lens. One can spend thousands of dollars on a single Nikon lens. And to me, the fact that I can get a nikon dx lens with great optics that’s a little slow but is incredibly light for under $200 is nothing short of miraculous. If you would have told someone in 1968 that a lens of this quality would be available for such a low price, they would have laughed. Nikon is indeed the king of making lenses and they had made a lens that allows those that are beginners or who can’t afford incredibly high priced lenses the ability to step into a very nice range lens with great optics for a pittance of what professional lenses cost. So what if it’s a little slow? If I had the money, I guess I’d be spending $1500 on every lens but the fact is I don’t have those resources and appreciate Nikon opening the door and letting me in on the fun too at a very reasonable price for a very reasonable quality lens. For those that dislike this nikon nikkor lens, take it back and get a truly great lens for 10 times the price- they’re available- no ones’ stopping you- so why knock this lens down so badly? It services a certain market- those of us who want nice pictures but can’t afford super fast super expensive lenses. These lenses are what they are. Quit all the whining and either just enjoy the lens for what it can do considering it’s very low price or go out and buy that expensive lens that does everything you want it to. The super lenses are there for the buying. It’s Not like they’re not available and this is the only lens out there and Nikon is charging $700 dollars for it. I could understand some whining then. I got this 55 200mm lens on sale for $140. That’s incredible. Enjoy this lens for all that it can do for such a reasonable price!

Incredible telephoto zoom 200mm lens
Just got this lens for my Nikon D50, which I bought because it is smaller and lighter than the D70s. This lens is amazing; it’s the same size as the D50 kit lens (18mm-55mm zoom) and the same weight. For someone like me who values carrying around the least weight possible, this is exactly the right lens. And from the test shots I’ve made it looks to be plenty sharp enough for my taste. Autofocus is fast and silent. It amazes me that Nikon lens technology has progressed so much to produce such a lightweight and quality lens.

Good, basic utility lens
I bought a Nikon D70s body only and put together a range of coverage from 10mm through 500mm including the 55-200mm Autofocus Nikkor Zoom. It is, as most of the DX lenses, a plastic based barrel and is light enough to travel and easy to hand hold in most lighting situations. Although I have not had the lens that long, it seems to be fast focusing and sharp optically. If it holds up as well as it appears from other reviews I have read, the price makes it a good general usage lens. The plastic construction should not be held as a negative as it seems to be sturdy nonetheless. The manual/autofocus switch is easy to use and the lens shade bayonets in and also stores reversed by bayoneting as well. The mount is plastic but, unless you abuse your equipment, seems to seat well and does not appear to be a negative factor.

A great prime.
I have just started working with this 50mm lens, and I am already amazed by it’s capabilities with my D300.
Well made, solid, and of course very fast allowing you to take good low light photos without flash. Focusing speed is not bad at all.
Though ideal for portraits, I am happy with the results for other subjects too. Could not notice any vignetting or distortion -just perfect photos.
The focus ring at the edge of the lens rotates, but I quickly used to not touching it when holding the camera. And what I most like about this prime, is that it makes carrying around my D300 much easier than with the Zoom lens I have. I am looking forward to shooting various subjects with this lens during our upcoming vacation.

Great Lens for Portraits and Moving Targets (Kids/Pets)
I purchased this 50mm lens 2 years ago and am finally writing a review on it. I use it with a D50 and love the portrait shots I’ve been able to get from it. The lens is incredibly quick and takes fantastic, sharp shots compared to my 18-55mm kit lens. The only “drawback” is the fixed focal point so if you are limited in the amount of space you’re shooting in (small closet-like room) this is not the lens to use. It is a solid and much heavier lens than my other one due to the metal coupling and glass/metal components so be careful if you’re looking for a light weight lens. I highly recommend this lens - people will ask what camera you’re using when it’s really the lens.

Love this nikkor lens
I love this 50mm 1.4 lens. I was thinking about buying the new 50mm 1.4G lens that Nikon recently released, but I have to say that I am happy I didn’t spend the extra money. Maybe the G lens is better, but after testing this lens, I feel it will serve my needs. I took some photos today of some flowers with my D50 and 18-200mm VR Nikkor lens and with the D50 and this lens, and you can see the difference. This 50mm nikon lens is much sharper. The 18-200 VR lens is still my favorite lens due to its versatility, but when you want that really sharp picture and the very narrow depth of field, this is the lens you want. I’ve got a baby coming in a few months and I bought this lens for portrait photos of the baby. Next I’ll be upgrading my camera to the D90.

One of the best lens for portrait and low light photography,

Here are the summary of pros and cons for this lens canon ef 50mm:

Pros:
1. Very fast (f/1.4)
2. Very sharp pictures (especially when stopped down to f/2 or more. very sharp at f/2.8)
3. Great for sport/action photography
4. Great for indoor and low light situation
5. Great for portrait
6. Bokeh is almost as good as many expensive Nikon tele-lens
7. Fast autofocus
8. Perfect for wedding photography (or no-flash event). However, or try the 17-35mm f/2.8 or 28-70mm f/2.8 lens)
9. 75mm equivalent which can be considered a short tele lens (I actually like the fact that it’s 75mm equivalent vs 50mm in DSLR. if you need more zoom, you can get the Nikon 85mm f/1.8, or the 70-200mm f/2.8 VR). If you have full frame DSLR(like the D3 or D700), then this #9 pros is not applicable.
10. Sharper than its 50mm f/1.8 sibling (at equivalent aperture)

Cons:
1. Being prime lens, you need to move your feet a lot to adjust/compose
2. Some distortion at widest aperture
3. Plasticy build (though it has metal moount and internal part seems to be from metal)
4. Autofocus is not the most silent but very reasonable
5. 75mm equivalent with 1.5x multiplier on non full frame DSLR (many people find this is an odd range for normal lens. I actually like it). If you have full frame DSLR(like the D3 or D700), then this #5 cons is not applicable.
6. Autofocus does not work with D40, D40x and D60. The newer 50mm f/1.4G AF-S lens will autofocus with those cameras.

nikon 50mm 1.4 Very fast,

I’ve been using this lens extensively with my D70. It lets me shoot without a flash in low-light situations where other photographers are complaining about not even being able to focus. I’m often able to even turn off the autofocus light, which allows for very natural pictures: the subject isn’t hit with an anti-redeye flash or focusing beam, so they don’t flinch and change expression. It produces excellent portraits, with the background artistically blurred.

Are there shots that I’ve gotten with this nikon 50mm f 1.4 lens that I couldn’t have gotten with the ($99) 50/1.8? Yes, a few. Most of them were from weddings (indoor, flash inappropriate, motion), or at night with no light sources within 20ft. For the vast majority of my pictures, though, the slower lens would have been more than adequate (even in dim light, I’m often shooting at f/2-f/4). If I had to choose between the two today, I’d probably get the cheaper slr camera lens.
