Will make you a better photographer, November 11, 2004
Reviewer: R. Rosener "Photomatic"
This is the lens to get for any Nikon SLR, from the simple N75 all the way
to the Digital D70. It's faster than a zoom and much, much sharper. That's
right, no zooming! If you want to make the image bigger, move closer. Want
to make a wider view? Step back.
This is the lens that all photographers
should start with. Most of Henri Cartier Bresson's photos were taken with
a 50mm lens. It forces you to think about perspective, composition, and
arrangement. You can take more pictures without the intrusive light of a
flash. It's cheap too. This lens is a classic and will make you a better
photographer by enabling you to make creative choices. It works on almost
every Nikon ever made. What more do you need to know? Get one.

Dollar for dollar the best buy in a bright sharp lens, November 28,
2004
Reviewer: Albert J. Valentino
This lens is probably the sharpest lens that Nikon makes--see lens
reviews/specs at
www.photodo.com . I use this lens
for low light situations outdoors and indoors so I don't need a flash.
also, small dept-of-field.
Using this at f/2.0 I will get at least
four-six times as much light (which means four-six times faster shutter
speed) as my zoom at around f/4.8 and also have a sharper image. For
$99.00 this f/1.8 is a steal and a much better buy than the f/1.4 which is
almost as sharp a lens and costs about $250.00--it's a no brainer.
I use this with my Nikon D70--remember, with a digital SLR this is
equivalent to a 75mm lens for film which it a pretty good portrait lens.
Just buy it--for the price you can't go wrong.

A good Lens, March 7, 2006
Reviewer: Momin "GP"
I asked one of my friend which is a pro.. which lens is good for beginner
which I can use for wedding photography and portrait?
He advised me to get 50mm if possible get
the f/1.4... but due to restricted budget I just bought the 50mm f/1.8
which is I admired very much... very fast and need less light...
Therefore I recommend this lens for beginner... very cheap but best
performances... do not underestimate it...

The perfect portrait lens, February 28, 2006
Reviewer: Jonathan
This wonderful lens was the first lens I bought for my SLR (aside from its
kit lens).
It has everything you'd want for a portrait lens: it's fast (f/1.8) so you
can shoot in low light and without a flash, its focal length (50mm) lets
you compose a good shot without getting right into the subject's face, and
the depth of field can be made extremely shallow, making the subject pop
out from the scene.
The one downside is that the 50mm focal length is limiting. You won't be
taking many group shots with this thing; you'd have to step waaay back to
get everyone in the picture.
Also: this lens shines best when stopped down a little, due in no small
part to the extremely shallow depth of field at f/1.8. I stop mine down to
f/2-f/2.5 most of the time.
Anyhow: marvelously sharp, simple, and produces tremendously great
pictures. I highly recommend it.

Best lens for this price, October 11, 2005
Reviewer: Edip
You do not have to think. This lens is the best lens that you could get at
this price. Nikon quality, very sharp and very fast. A must have for DSLR
owners. You won't regret for having it in your bag.
Do not forget you will need a fast lens
(F1.8 at least) if you shot in low lights.
