Read The Helpful Nikon 50mm 1.8 Review And Find Out Why This Lens Is Such A Thrill To Use

Posted by admin


No Nikon 50mm 1.8 review will be perfect without mentioning the extremely crisp pictures that this lens delivers, all for a very economical rate.

The focal length of 50mm is supposedly the closest in scope and power to what the human eye perceives, 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.

Along with great image quality and cheap price, this lens is very light weight and small enough that it will simply live in your jeans, making it an ideal mobile lens for no further effort.

Optically, the Nikon 50mm 1.8 lens contains 6 elements arranged in 5 segments (with the aperture system having 7 diaphragm blades). The lowest length of focusing is 0.45m and the filter dimension is 52mm.

As was mentioned earlier, this lens is pretty small at simply 64x39mm plus light at only 155g.

You may possibly assume that since this lens is so inexpensive, that its image feature must be substandard as well. However, the build quality of this lens is pretty good with a mixture of metal and polycarbonate as the main materials.

The fairly small rubber focus ring has a really smooth operation and the front element does not turn with a polarizer attached so this is another positive too - we all know how irritating a rotating front element with a polarizer is.

In general the Nikon 50mm 1.8 does not possess the same popularity that a lot of the leading Nikon lenses do, but it is still a quiet and very efficient achiever in its own right.

It does not fall down badly in any particular area, possibly 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.
