Pros: Light, fast and sharp with great bokeh/blur.
Cons: Plastic construction, but for the price nobody expects otherwise.
Opinion: Best $200 you can spend on a lens without a doubt. Great for many types of shooting whether your body is DX or FX. Perfect for walking around and shooting in the street. This lens will really surprise you as a portrait lens, especially on a DX body. Razor sharp in the focal plane and beautiful, creamy blur in the background. They don't call it the plastic fantastic for nothing!

Opinion:Wanting to spend little I had bought the Yongnuo 50mm, "I will almost never use it", I told myself. Instead I was wrong, lasted very little made in Shenzen, I thought well to move on to the nikon house, just so as not to patch. Mounted on a Nikon7500, the 50mm becomes a 75mm, so at this focal point it turns into a nice game for portraits and thanks to the bokeh effect, even more accentuated than the predecessor, it allows you to make excellent portraits in poor light conditions, or in any case use it in full or "American" without compromise. Really unbeatable price for the quality of the object: with a little desire it is found in several sites at prices almost used, but instead "brand new". Don't have it in your bag, it's a crime.
Opinion:I had it for about a month, I already have the 50 F1.8 AF with which in particular situations I found myself well. I came into possession of it by chance (friend who sold everything off;), so I decided to take it to possibly replace the old AF by looking for something sharper with open diaphragms. It is sharp and very fast in focus and silent, it is light, in short, what more to want from a goal? nothing. The 50 g is a normal lens (in all senses) what is missing is just a bit of character... the AF (which I still have) in the backlights makes a very particular blurry closed by F5.6 practically equals the G (which however is more contrasted while the autofocus instead has the most open shadows) so in the end I decided to keep the noisy one, not sharp with open diaphragms but with the fairytale blurr and sell the "best". If I had a full frame I would most likely have kept it for light releases as a handyman but on apsc I opted for sale, still keeping the old 50 F1.8 AF.
Pros:light, crisp, beautiful blurry effect, in short, a small jewel
Cons:little, certainly very little and I have yet to find out
Opinion:Small and cheap but that from great satisfactions. Until a few months ago I had the Canon 6D MKII with the 50 f/1.8 STM, well returning to Nikon gave me unexpected satisfactions. I couldn't speak ill of Canon, with whom trying about ten machine bodies I could learn and take remarkable shots, but with Nikon D610 and this lens I am definitely better. Interesting portraits, soft blurry even with maximum opening, definitely recommended
Pros:Great bokeh effect, not excessive weight and size, sharp images, price on used
Cons:Don't have it in your bag
Opinion:For portrait painters this lens is a must. I also made portraits with 35 mm but the results with 50 mm are quite different simply for the bokeh effect: on the latter the yield is much better. Let's not forget that it goes up to 1.8 opening and that if mounted on APS-C it becomes a 75 mm, so it is also great for night at medium-long distance. As for the price, if you decide to take it used, there are good chances of saving compared to the new one.
