Rating: - My favorite lens
This lens is by far the best bang for the buck offered by Nikon. This is my favorite lens and is virtually glued to my D80. The DOF is super thin at 1.8 and the sharpness is amazing, even wide open.

Rating: - 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.

It's also a good learning tool, there ... Read More
Rating: - 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...
