Great seller! August 28, 2008
I love the lens. It works perfectly fine, and very well handled. Great seller! Thank you so much.
Get it -- it is very AWESOME!! August 28, 2008
I have been using this lens for almost two years now, and absolutely love it! Like one of the reviews I read, because there's no zoom, you have to move back and forth and get your feet going; and people do wonder why I'm getting so close to them. But the end result is beautiful portraits, and colors come out beautifully. Stop doing your research and reading reviews -- just BUY IT!
Steal this Lens August 24, 2008
Quite simply, this is the best item I have bought for my camera. Despite being around only $100, this lens has changed my approach to photography. Since buying the 50mm I have become much more aware of composition before while looking through the viewfinder. Taking away the ability to zoom not only improves the optics but also forces me walk around to intentionally get the shot I am thinking of. Honestly, buy this lens. I no longer feel the need to walk around with my camera bag at most times, instead I walk around Chicago with my D40 and my 50mm.
Pros: Extremely light weight, versatile, and highly reliable lens. Large, sturdy focusing ring. With the aperture at 1.8 it shots can be taken at under 1/60th of a second without the use of a tripod, great low-light functionality.
Cons: no AFS motor, only manual on the D40 (I bought this lens with this knowledge before hand and I am not disappointed. When upgrading to a higher grade camera this lens' value will only increase). Bokeh can be harsh at times. Low-light focusing can be difficult.
Sharpest and my most favorite lens. August 21, 2008
When I purchased this lens, I was nervous at the quality of it. I was from henceforth corrected on my speculations. This lens is absolutely fantastic for low light conditions. At $120 this lens gives clear, crisp images and does not disappoint. It is extremely portable, which makes it my favorite lens to travel with.
Just recently I went to Arizona and California. This lens was used 90% of the time. My 55-200mm lens couldn't handle the low light situations I wanted to shoot.
There is no auto-focus for my D40, but I do not care. I'd rather learn to focus my images and get a great shot through work rather than let my machine do all the work. Great learning tool for beginners into photography.

I would recommend this lens in any photographers gear. It's a must have!
Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 Lens is a MUST August 20, 2008
This is a very nice lens, it's very sharp, and it's very comfortable on the Nikon d40. However, you can't autofocus with it on this camera, which makes it a major bummer. However, i gave it a five star review because it can work on my old film camera, which is a plus. Plain and simple, it's a sharp lens which you can't get anywhere else
