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: Light, razor-sharp, bright, inexpensive

Cons: Plasticky but well put together

Opinion: Lens that is a great classic: 50mm 1.8 on FF. A must-have lens that cannot be missing in a photographer's kit: it costs little, yields a lot and has a focal length that allows you to do everything. A classic. Among the 50 1.8 he had, he is one of the best. I really appreciated the fast AF (compared for example with the Sony 50 1.8). A must-have!

Pros: Light, Sharp, Economical, Fast AF

Cons: Blurred

Opinion: The lens has really excellent general performance, needless to repeat everything that has already been said, as an all-rounder it is the top, together with the 35 1.8G it represents a light and cheap winning combination. The only complaint, I was not impressed by the rendering in the portraits both for blur and skin tone, for the rest it is a best buy to always keep in the backpack

Pros: Lightweight fifty with a light price.

Cons: Not as sharp as the top of the class at T.A.. 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.
