Model Reviewed: AF50mm f/1.8 Nikkor

Strength:

Extremely good value, tact sharp across all the f stops, very possibly one of the best nikkors.

Weakness:

none

Light, well built, compact, this lens offers one of the best performance available in the Nikkor line (IMHO). Cheaper than the other 50mm's in the Nikkor family (f1.2, f1.4), it offers consistant performance across all the f-stops, even with the aperture wide open. One of the sharpest Nikkors, especially consider it's only about $100 new, it's a normal lens value everyone should acquire for their nikon system.

(p.s. I am not sure if they make AF version of the lens anymore, but the MF one I got has a good focusing feel and perfect for amateurs on a budget as a first lens with the classic normal perspective.)
