No Nikon 50mm 1.8 review will be perfect without mentioning the extremely clear photographs that this lens produces, all for a very low cost.
The focal length of 50mm is considered to be the closest in scope and intensity to what the human eye interprets, and as such it has experienced many years in the publicity as a great general purpose lens, doubling as a 75mm portraiture lens on an APS-C DSLR body.
As well as great picture quality and cheap price, this lens is fairly light weight and little enough that it will basically fit in your jeans, making it a perfect carry around lens for no extra effort.
Optically, the Nikon 50mm 1.8 lens includes 6 elements set in 5 sets (with the aperture system featuring 7 diaphragm blades). The minimum range of focusing is 0.45m and the filter dimension is 52mm.
As was mentioned above, this lens is quite handy at only 64x39mm plus light at only 155g.
You might think that since this lens is so low priced, that its build quality must be inferior as well. However, the quality of this lens is rather decent with a combination of metal and polycarbonate as the main components.
The relatively small rubber focus ring has a really smooth function and the front section does not turn with a polarizer attached so this is another good thing too - we all know how troublesome a rotating front element with a polarizer can be.
Overall the Nikon 50mm 1.8 does not possess the same popularity that a lot of the flagship Nikon lenses do, but it is still a quiet and very competent performer in its own way.
It does not fall down badly in any particular area, perhaps the only bad point could be that it is soft on the borders wide open and perhaps includes a slight contrast deficiency too.
Of course for the rate, these minor details can easily be overlooked when buying this awesome Nikkor 50mm 1.8.
