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: Super sharp, bright, precise

Cons: Nothing

Opinion: I have owned it for 10 years, whenever I need to shoot at 50mm it is there, ready, impeccable, it has never let me down, excellent in mountain photos and has exceptional contrast. It has a sharpness that never disappoints, very fast in focusing and quiet. Initially I used it with the Nikon D3100 then D3400 and finally when I switched to full frame, with the D750, my current inseparable travel companion for six years.

Il Santo

sent on 13 Aprile 2026

Pros: Lightweight - Optically very good - Value for money

Cons: For what it costs no one

Opinion: When cameras were only film, buying the first reflex, the 50mm was the lens supplied. As a handyman, it was an excellent training ground for learning to photograph and remained the only lens mounted on the camera for a long time. Its simple design has always made it a reliable and good quality optic. Then came zooms and this focal length fell into disuse undeservedly. Not the zooms of now, those of then, many of which amounted to a bottom of a bottle and despite this made him forget. It remains the best lens a photographer can buy and use: small, light, optically sound and suitable for an infinite number of situations. This one in particular offers excellent sharpness and contrast. It restores saturated colors and pleasantness in use. Fast and quiet AF. What more could you want from a "contraption" than with minimum expense from maximum yield?

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
