A must have lens.
A fast prime lens is a must have in any camera bag. It is nice to have in low light situations where you can't/don't want to use a flash. Sharpness is satisfactory wide open but at f4 and above I find it gets very sharp. If you are willing to spend more money you may want to look into the Nikon 35mm or Sigma 30mm f1.4 especially if you are using a DX camera body. The 30mm will get you closer to what a 50mm lens would be on a FX body. It's also a good learning tool, there is nothing like a prime... more info
Great Lens for the money...
Good indoors and low light conditions..No zooming here so you physically must move to or from your target. On my D80 this 50mmm acts like it magnifies..I beleive it't the equivalent of a 80mm...
Believe the Other Reviews
I recently purchased this lens based on other reviewers. It is a great lens for a great price. It does have limitations as far as tight spaces/indoors. I have used it nonstop for kids, portraits, outdoors, etc. The pictures are razor sharp and I am not disappointed.
the lens yo must get
the cheapest lens in the AF Nikkor line... extremely sharp at all apertures larger than f/2.8 at f/1.8 the lens is pretty good too. not noticeble distorsion or color degradation. Even at f/1.8 Flare is very controlled,
