Affordable lens, but in this case cheap does not mean bad quality - one of my favorite lenses.Sharp all around, nice bokeh, colors, there's just nothing bad about it. Okay, the f: 2 aperture is not exceptionally fast, but in all honesty there is no difference between 1.8 and 2.0. There's no need to stop it down, it's sharp even wide open. I use it on my Nikkormat and when I just want to have fun I put it on my D600 and use it without a problem, and the vintage look of the lens on a new DSLR, stunning.

It's really simple to get some artsy bokeh effects with this lens, and it has a nice creamy tone to the pictures (nothing that can't be corrected in post) It's beefy and all metal construction. but because it has no autofocus you really have to construct a shot and think about your aperture, shutter speed, iso, distance to your subject, and light levels. which is hard for beginners, but should be bearable for those who take enough time to learn the basics and their gear. Totally worth the price though.

This lens in a very reliable 50mm optic in 1:2 aperture and enjoys a very modern Nikkor multi-coating. It is NOT an AI-compatible lens, but is usable on a variety of vintage Nikon cameras. I am currently investigating if it can be mounted for manual use on Nikon autofocus cameras. If you can find this lens at a reasonable price, you should do so; it is well built and reliable.

I wanted to purchase a prime lens to get a lot closer crisper shot! I am a rookie but find it easy to use- So far I like it! I had to google how to use this lens with my Nikon D90. You have to lock the Setting at 22 then use the camera to set the lens. Once I found that out- it shoots Great shots~!
The lens functions very well. I purchased it to complement a vintage Nikkorex camera. I haven't used it yet but I see no reason why it wouldn't, work well. Good value.
