    Overview

    The Nikon AF-S Nikkor 50mm F1.8G is a sharp, affordable standard prime with excellent center sharpness from f/1.8, becoming excellent across the frame by f/2.8. Its main weakness is moderate distortion. Build quality is decent with a plastic barrel, metal mount, and weather-sealing gasket. Autofocus is quick and accurate. It suits photographers seeking a high-performance, low-cost lens for portraits, street, and events on FX or DX cameras.
