 Best Lens Value Ever September 8, 2010
Chris Malpass
I purchased this lens to use on my d3000 and made the assumption that it would be able to auto-focus on its own. The lens does not have its own AF motor like the AF-S lenses, so that was my mistake. I had to manually focus on my d3000 in order to use the lens, but man, Nikon makes it easy to use. They have a little dot in the viewfinder that lets you know if it's in focus or not. Every photo I've taken with this lens has blown me away. The clarity, DOF, and overall quality of photos has been astonishing. Having to use the manual focus on the d3000 has helped me become a better photographer at the same time - I've had to be more skilled at picking the right environment for my photos and positioning my self at the right distance from the subject. That being said, this lens has been the bridge to my recent purchase of a D90, which does have its own auto focus motor to power regular AF lenses, so I'm even more excited about the possibilities with this lens. It's probably the best lens you'll ever buy for the money. Great job Nikon.

It is fun to take candid indoor photos of my family (and cats) with this lens--particularly playing with the depth of field. This is my first lens after my 18-135 kit lens. F/1.8 is much more useful low-light indoor settings. When used indoors with natural ambient light pouring in, the color renditions are soft and true. When taking photos of more than one person, I like f/4. It's not too useful outside. If I were to do it again, I would definitely get this lense because of the price, but I would first consider the $200 35mm f/1.8, because the 50mm has a little bit too much reach for me because a lot of photos are taken in the close quarters of our apartment.
Must have lense for a steel! September 7, 2010

I purchased this lense last summer and finally was able to use it fully a year later! Construction is ok requiring a very snug twist to lock it onto the body. Other than that I have no complaints. Once you understand how to use a manual lense the rest is a piece of cake!

Best lens for the price August 25, 2010

The is a great lens for an armature that needs to take photos in low light. You can't beat it for the price.
 Good Lens for Potraits August 25, 2010

I love everything about this lens except AF not supported by D40 and D60, D3000, D5000 cameras. Since I have a Nikon D5000, I need to use it manually. So for the people who have mentioned cameras should think before they buy if they will be comfortable with manual focus. Otherwise It is a great deal and great quality for the price.
