Nikon Nikkor 50Mm F/1.8

[Multi Coated | ] The Hoya is a nice addition to my new glass 50mm 1.8 Nikkor. No change in portrait photos and haven't done to many landscape photos to say if I notice any change. It's a strong filter that will protect your costly lens. I just leave mine on 24/7.

[Leica L] I have the Nikkor lens 24-70- 2.8 and 70-200 2.8 Sold my 50mm 1.8s for this lens and LOVE IT! This is not an easy lens! That is my love affair with this lens. When you massage the focus to the exact point you will be astounded with the results. I have also bought the 90mm 1.25 Artisan and that is great too. Again no comparison to Nikon but with some sharpening and contrast you acquire fantastic images with out of the park bokeh!

[f/1.8] This Nikkor Z 50mm 1.8 S lens is SO good and so fast - especially with the Z5's in body image stabilization, that (if you appreciate prime lenses vs zooms) you cannot just say, I'll live without it. The term normal understates what the angle of view and lack of magnification or distortion means. The angle of view is normal because it's basically what the human eye sees, unlike a wide or tele. Yes, it has a much more complicated, interesting and variable history as 'the' normal lens on a 35mm frame - but whatever. This one is killer fantastic and can be used for anything from street photography to even certain kinds of portraiture. Buy it and keep it and see how it varies from, say, my other lens - the 20mm. But are outstanding and a lifelong investment worth every penny.

[0.725 lb] With Nikon Z7 + Nikkor Z 35mm 1.8S - OK) With Nikon Z7 + Nikkor Z 24-70mm 2.8S - micro-backlash appears along the axis of rotation, within reasonable limits, caused by a heavy lens. Barely noticeable in my work does not bother me. if you need a reinforced concrete handle, look towards the non-rotating. I didn't really like the grinded aluminum edge in the place where the rubber fits.

[77 mm (Front)] Nikon's Nikkor Z 20mm f/1.8 S Lens will be my go to lens in astro photography; waiting for a moonless night to give this lens a chance to show what it is capable of in the astro photography world. Love the lens for its potential in landscape work. The 20mm f/1.8 S lens does an exceptional job in photographing the interior of the home. As always, thanks to B&H for providing great products and service.

[1.815 lb] The Nikon NIKKOR Z 20mm f/1.8 S lens is great for landscapes and astro. Super sharp and no coma in the stars. Happy with my purchase.

[0.08 lb] Bought this to replace an HR 4 by Nikon. It is a screw on 52mm rubber hood and I’m using it on a 50mm 1.8D used mostly full frame. There are a slew of 52mm filter size Ais lenses this would be great with. It’s deeper and larger in diameter than my HR 4 was. The pinch style lens cap snaps in securely no problem, even when the hood is deployed. I like it and it seems well made!

[1.065 lb] This lens is so much fun!! Yeah it may not be as sharp as my Nikon 50mm 1.8 BUT this lens can give you great bokeh!!! I love the pictures I'm getting with this lens and for the price, you can't go wrong!!!

[Full-Frame] Yes it's plastic, and it's not quite as sharp as the Nikon 50mm 1.8, but this is only $160. The auto focus is fast and accurate, and it is still very sharp. The Nikon is maybe 10% sharper in the center but it costs almost 4X as much as this lens. As an amateur photographer this is a no brainer, just get it.
