No Nikon 50mm 1.8 review would be perfect without referring to the really crisp images that this lens produces, all for a very low price.

The focal length of 50mm is supposedly the closest in range and intensity to what the human eye sees, and thereby it has experienced many years in the limelight as a great general purpose lens, doubling as a 75mm portraiture lens on an APS-C DSLR body.

As well as great image quality and reasonable price, this lens is very light weight and little enough that it will just live in your jeans, making it an ideal carry around lens for no extra effort.

Optically, the Nikon 50mm 1.8 lens consists of 6 elements organized in 5 groups (with the aperture system having 7 diaphragm blades). The least length of focusing is 0.45m and the filter size is 52mm.

As was mentioned above, this lens is extremely small at just 64x39mm plus light at only 155g.

You may possibly assume that since this lens is so cheap, that its build quality must be on the cheap side as well. However, the build quality of this lens is rather reliable with a compounds of metal and polycarbonate as the key materials.

The relatively small rubber focus ring has a very smooth focus and the front element does not turn with a polarizer built in so this is one more good thing too - we all know how frustrating a rotating front element with a polarizer can be.

All in all the Nikon 50mm 1.8 does not have the same reputation that a lot of the flagship Nikon lenses do, but it is yet a quiet and very capable performer in its own right.

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

Of course for the price, these minor details can easily be overlooked when buying this excellent Nikkor 50mm 1.8.
