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:I will try not to repeat the things that have already been said. This lens in addition to being light is very sharp fears comparison with the brighter but slightly less sharp F / 1.4. This F1.8 I find it already very sharp at full aperture, take into account that in the portrait you do not always need sharpness otherwise the defects of the face come out, a little softness is needed but still closing at F2 becomes perfect. Very nice also for landscape photos. Now I sold it to give space to the 50 1.4 sigma but it is more a whim to have greater brightness and three-dimensionality since I take pictures of night events. But this 50 1.8 deserves so much. Rating 10. Good Light to All.
Pros:In terms of sharpness at diaphragms a little closed is at the highest levels and even open it copes well. Easy to use and hardly misses a shot, general rendering very good and balanced without even an obvious defect. Quality to the touch more than valid, rubber gasket around bayonet.
Cons:Average blurred quality, but more than adequate to the lens class
Opinion:Used on d750, the best fixed for quality price, a real f1.8 that knows how to give excellent shots. Taken to replace the D, with whom it has never been love, it is an improvement from almost all points of view and is worth by far that few extra money. Compared to high-end lenses it holds its own for maximum sharpness (and often beats them too), obviously sharpness from open and blurred and do not create the same magic with every shot but often goes close to it. At close distances, at which it is optimized, it is however remarkable even at full aperture and I have shots that are the envy of the 85 1.4 G. Personally I use it little in favor of other fixed that cost from 3 to 10 times as much and that return a greater three-dimensionality especially because of a better managed fire-out of focus transition, but this remains a valid alternative to go light while maintaining a high quality spending very little. If you think that the only 50mm AF really more performance is the sigma art... In addition, the hood can be left at home as the lens is already quite protected of its own, as well as resisting even against the backlight quite well. Very good build quality for the lens class, except for the feeling of the focus ring which is a bit rough.
Pros:Af, construction, colors details, compact, lightweight, blurred, backlight, cost,etc. (just see the photos it takes).
Cons:For a use travel reportage, landscape, food and details in general, nothing to say (personal opinion given the uses I make of it). For pro use I do not express myself and I leave the floor to the experts.
Opinion:As I said in the cons (use - travel reportage, etc.) it is phenomenal with Nikon D7200. In the pros I have said everything so I do not dwell too much, I would risk saying things said by others. Recommended and rating 10. PS. I also own Nikon 50 af.d f/1.8 which I use for other purposes. The comparison between the two cannot be made given the difference. Two different objectives with different character.
Opinion:I have this lens for a few years and I mount it on the D7500, I wanted to use it for portraits because it is equivalent to a focal length of 75 mm that with open apertures gives me an excellent bokeh, but the reality is that the focus is difficult and even with fast times I can not have decent results in the portrait. So x me is bad. Then on tripod and self-timer I raise my hands, it's fine because the optical scheme is tested, nothing to say, but x the use I wanted to do I do not see it well. It would be the case x Nikon to start working seriously, otherwise they all leave on sony. Then they have to decide whether to carry on the SLR system or not, for the aps-c that are an excellent compromise (I like my D7500) they do not produce optics, what to say. These market strategies no longer satisfy me. Returning to 50 mm, lacks stabilization, peace
