No Nikon 50mm 1.8 review will be perfect without mentioning the really sharp pictures that this lens produces, all for a very economical cost.

The focal length of 50mm is said to be the closest in scope and intensity to what the human eye interprets, and as such it has enjoyed many years in the spotlight as a great general purpose lens, doubling as a 75mm portraiture lens on an APS-C DSLR body.

Along with great image quality and affordable price, this lens is fairly light weight and little enough that it will basically fit in your pocket, making it a great carry around lens for no further effort.

Optically, the Nikon 50mm 1.8 lens includes 6 elements arranged in 5 sets (with the aperture system featuring 7 diaphragm blades). The least distance of focusing is 0.45m and the filter dimension is 52mm.

As was mentioned previously, this lens is quite compact at only 64x39mm plus light at only 155g.

You might assume that because this lens is so inexpensive, that its build feature must be inferior also. However, the quality of this lens is rather decent with a mixture of metal and polycarbonate as the primary elements.

The relatively little rubber focus ring has a really smooth operation and the front section does not turn with a polarizer attached so this is one more positive too - we all know how irritating a rotating front element with a polarizer is.

Overall the Nikon 50mm 1.8 does not enjoy the same popularity that a lot of the leading Nikon lenses do, but it is still a quiet and very capable achiever in its own way.

It does not fall down badly in any particular area, maybe the only bad point would be that it is soft on the borders wide open and perhaps carries a slight contrast deficiency too.

Of course for the rate, these minor details can easily be ignored when buying this awesome Nikkor 50mm 1.8.
