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!

Pros: Lightweight fifty with a light price.

Cons: Not as sharp as the top of the class. Not stabilized or tropicalized.

Opinion: Yes yes agreed, it's not pro, it doesn't have the rendering of a Sigma Art nor the quality of the new Nikon S for Z mount agreed... But for how "little" it costs, what do you want to reproach him? It's true at T.A. it's a bit soft but, overall, it's not so bad since once you close the aperture a bit the sharpness is there (even if generation Z, on this point, will look at it with a lot of condescension, from top to bottom). Very light and compact... In the end, for its exceptional price/performance ratio, it can only make a lot of "tenderness"...

Pros: Sharpness, color, contrast

Cons: A bit of chromatic aberration

Opinion: Needless to drag it out: I would call it an exceptional lens for both right and fx! Unfortunately it has its cons (see above) but the defect is seen only at very strong magnification. For the photos that this lens gave me back... I fell in love with it! Outdoors it's great. When I mount it, on any body, I don't have to worry about anything, I'm sure the photo will be beautiful whether it's indoor or outdoor with little or a lot of light: I can't do without it.

Pros: Yield, size, price

Cons: nothing

Opinion: Bought just released in 2011 and used as a standard lens of preference until mid-2018, it is one of the small jewels of Nikon's F-mount lenses in recent years. Smaller, cheaper and more performing than the 'big brother' f / 1.4 was in effect a must-buy for anyone using that focal length. Sharper at 1.8 than version 1.4, it made the more expensive version obsolete and even in the following years it was equaled or surpassed by very few alternatives, all much more expensive. Probably now it is no longer worth the list price, and on Z mount there is infinitely better (provided you pay the cost), but it remains the first lens to buy if you are new to the F mount world. I replaced it with the Tamron 45mm only and exclusively because the latter had the stabilization that helped a lot on D800 / D850 (the tamron also has a better yield but still cost three times and came out several years later)

Pros: Value for money if bought used or not nital, weight, dimensions

Cons: Colors, feeling of plastic product

Opinion: Bought new with European warranty in 2013 for 156 euros, it has always allowed me to make very good photos in portraits even if I am not a lover of fifty mm photos (I prefer longer focal lengths). I recommend it for those who want to buy his first lens for portraits or for those who want to spend little. For me its greatest value is value for money if bought used or not nital. I have never been convinced by the colors it returns but for the price purchased they were all too good. Other advantages are the weight and the small size. The sense of plasticity I put it in the counter. In 2016 I tried the AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.4G from a friend discovering magical colors. I found a used one in very good condition at 250 euros so I resold the 1.8 at 120 euros, losing only 36 € compared to the purchase price. Between the 50 1.8 and 1.4 I recommend you buy used 1.4 whose price is around 250 euros which is the same price as the new nital 1.8. I think that the version with aperture 1.4 is the one that will make you make a leap in quality in photos. On the vote you will read, for me affects (a lot) positively the selling price of used, which is around 120-130 €. Rating: 8
