Great Lens March 14, 2010
Douglas M. Edstrom (Atlanta, ga)
For $125 there is not a better lens out there for portrait photography. It is not the sharpest lens out there, don't get me wrong it is sharp but does have a soft sharpness. DOF is great, size is great, low light shots inside now possibly with no flash and low ISO. Bought it because of the positive reviews on Amazon and am very happy to have this lens in my collection now. I am a novice shooting with a D90 and have had amazing results so far with this lens. Fast lens with amazing low light capabilities. Would highly recommend this lens to anyone shooting a lot of indoor shots.

When I bought my Nikon D80, the lenses that came with it were the 18-55mm and 55-200mm, but until I bought this lens I hadn't realized I was missing out on so much better pictures! Basically I bought the lens because it was the cheapest one I could find, but only after reading all the reviews and tech specs. I like this lens a lot, and think that it should come standard with the nikon cameras. The only thing I don't like about it is sometimes the Automatic focus acts strangely, but I like using it on Manual anyways. Also recommend if you buy any lens that you keep a clear filter on it.
excellent, fast glass March 12, 2010

this is an excellent intermediate lens. it's fast, sharp and awesome. on my d200, its a 75mm equivalent on a 35mm sensor. this is the perfect length for head-and-shoulders portraits. i bought it on a whim at a local new brunswick nj camera shop, and haven't taken it off since.
before this, i used a 1976 nikon 50mm f/2, produced at the height of the nikon vs. canon arms race. once i adjusted electronic aperture controls, it was smooth sailing.
look no further than this lens for low light amateur photography.
If you into portraits you should have it! February 20, 2010

Its handy, light weight and a fast lense.. pixs at 1.8f is pretty good, but the sharpest ones could come out from 2.8f aperture. It is great lense if you photograph inside, with the little light you can get some great pictures.. AF is amazing, it is fast and sharp! I use it with D90 and by the time you half press the shutter bigno ! it focus!
certainly not a pro-portrait lense, but this little boy can sure surprise you with the outcome.. If you have kids and would like to capture some happy moments while they play then you got to hook this lense to your cam, it captures fast and well exposed pictures inside with very little light... it def. worths that 120 buckss!
Enjoy!

I'm just a beginner and own a Nikon D60 with both the 18-55mm wide angle kit lens as well as a 50-200mm zoom lens. I added this lens for the fact that to me, it combines the benefits of both those lenses in one, at an excellent price point. I can take photos that have shallow depth of field and I can take them without having to use the zoom lens while not having to be 2568974 ft away from my subject. Granted this lens will not work in all scenarios, but for a situation where I'm in close proximity to my subject but am looking for that portrait effect, this is FABULOUS. I read that some people had trouble fitting this lens on their D60 but I've had absolutely no problems with it. The size is so compact (smaller than my 18-55mm kit lens for sure) that I'm pretty confident this is the lens I'll be keeping on my camera majority of the time from now on. Yes, it does not auto focus on the D60. But I like the creativity that's allowed with having to manually focus the image. All in all, I'm VERY happy with the lens. I recommend it hands down.
