Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G Special Edition Lens

Key item features

Key Features and Benefits:

  • Classically styled, lightweight and fast f/1.8 FX-format prime lens
    With its updated classic exterior design and feel, outstanding Nikkor optics and advanced Nikon lens technologies, the AF-S Nikkor 50 mm f/1.8G Special Edition is the perfect match for the Nikon Df and anyone who appreciates the feel of a classic lens. Its fast f/1.8 maximum aperture renders beautifully blurred backgrounds and maximizes low-light performance, and its 50 mm normal perspective is ideal for everyday shooting.
  • Brilliance in any light
    The lightweight, compact AF-S Nikkor 50 mm f/1.8G Special Edition is a great travel companion, especially when you need to freeze fast action or if a bright sunny day turns overcast. Its fast f/1.8 maximum aperture makes framing and focusing easier, and allows for high shutter speeds and full exposures under dim lighting conditions.
  • Beautiful background blur
    When shooting wide open at f/1.8, the AF-S Nikkor 50 mm f/1.8G Special Edition renders beautifully blurred backgrounds (bokeh). Make a tack-sharp foreground subject stand out against a softly blurred background, a capability especially well suited for portraits. The lens' 50 mm focal length (75 mm on DX-format cameras) approximates the angle of view of the eyes, perfect for creating natural perspective in your photographs.
  • Outstanding performance
    The AF-S Nikkor 50 mm f/1.8G Special Edition is a remarkable blend of classic exterior styling and modern optics and lens technologies. Its focus ring features the easy to grip knurling/hatching from classic manual focus lenses, while its autofocus system uses Nikon's innovative Silent Wave Motor (SWM) for ultra-fast, near silent precision focusing. SWM also allows for seamless manual focus override when fine adjustments are desired. The AF-S Nikkor 50 mm f/1.8G Special Edition will give you years of brilliant performances.

Great lens even though not current generation

Great lens, but I purchased it by mistake. I honestly thought I was getting the G, which I ultimately returned this one for - that was my error in ordering, not Beach Camera's. The only reason is that I wanted the in-lens AF, which this one does not have. Otherwise this actually is a great old-school design, feels great and of high quality in the hand, and of course has amazing bokeh and razor sharpness. I did some online comparisons, and in some ways this outperforms the G, so I would do the homework and judge for yourself. Having newer Nikon DSLR bodies, my OCD just needed a "matching" lens. Otherwise I would have saved the money and kept this one. #sweepstakes

I am very happy with my purchase.

Pros: Drawing Is An Excellent, Light intensity, Af Is Fast, The Focus Is On A Quiet, Excellent Pokeh, Focus Can Very Cons: Is Not A Macro Other thoughts: The lens is optically as good as new even though it is refurbished. The product was involved in UV filter and lens hood.

Great Prime lens

Pros: Great In Low Light, Very sharp pictures, Light and easy to carry Cons: Need to zoom with feet Other thoughts: This is a great lens - it is making me switch out of the cheaper consumer zoom lenses that Nikon sells. I am willing to sacrifice the convenience of zoom for the sharpness that this lens brings. The 35 mm version of this actually may be more convenient if you shoot indoor groups very often.
