  • Absolute Must have for beginners
*: YN50MM Nikon
The media could not be loaded. Lots of reviews here speaking praise about the lense but not many are showing you just how different it is compared to the stock 18-55 3.5 lens that came with my Nikon d5600 camera. First let me say that if you are just starting out with photography. A 50 mm 1.8 is an absolute must have for your first lens imo. Now then as you can see the difference when it comes to subject focus and isolation from the background/foreground is not super super significant. But it is significant enough to be noticeable. The wider aperture also makes it much easier to take low light photos without causing too much noise in your pics. Pros: Wider aperture than most stock lenses. This means better subject isolation and more blurry backgrounds/foregrounds. The larger aperture also means more light coming into your camera so you’ll be able to make your photos brighter without having to turn up the iso so you’ll have less noise/artifacts in your photos. Cons: Auto focus is NOISY. As the video shows, the auto focus on this camera(when compared to a stock Nikon brand lens) is much louder. For this price you better not have expected perfection. You won’t be using the auto focus if your recording video because it will be making noise nonstop. No zoom. You are locked in the magnification. If you wanna zoom in or out you will have to rely on digital zoom or you will have to move away. So fine tuning the framing of your photo will require a bit more effort and movement on your part. As the second picture shows despite being 6ft away it looks like I am right in front of the alter. You’ll need some extra distance for your pics with this lense. Now don’t think any of these cons are reasons to not buy this lens. These are simply things you’ll have to deal with. Every lens will have drawbacks and limitations. This specific lense though. I don’t think you will fined a better auto focusing lense for the price. The only way you could find something cheaper is if you go with fully manual focus/aperture control. If you’re just getting started. This, in my opinion, is a must have beginners lense. ... show more

  • YES! Overall I can't tell much difference in quality, but my wallet is happy.
*: YN50MM Nikon
Things that I liked about this 50mm f1.8 lens: Is it cheap? Yes Did I like f1.8 for less money than a 18-55mm f 5.6 at 50mm on DX format? Metal mount? Yes, it fits perfectly. Does it expose consistently well? Yes Does it autofocus well on my D3400, D7000, D810, and even on my D500 and N80 cameras? Yes Did I like that it autofocuses on a D40, D60, D3xxx, D5xxx camera without the in-body AF motor? Yes. Faster AF than Nikon -D lenses? Yes. Quiter the AF-D lenses? Yes. Runs OK at 10 fps? Yes Does it feels like a Cannon lens? Yes, Nikon? Maybe. Did I removed the blue plastic (front and back) lens protector plastic so I can get normal colored pictures? Yes Did I put a good Hoya filter in from of it? Yes. Did I run it against the 50mm 1.4f AF-D, the Sigma 18-200 OS, the Nikon 28-300mm, the Nikon AF-P 18-55, the Nikon AF-SII 18-55 and did not see much difference at the same aperture? Yes. Was there much difference? No. Did I see any more glare than the Nikon lenses? NO Did I like the bouquet? Yes Is it sharp? Yes, (at least were it matters on 80% of the center of the frame). Did I say... Is it cheap? Yes.. LOL. What I did not like: - No weather seal. - Focus scale moves the oposite than the focus ring. - No manual focus override while in autofocus. You have to use a switch like the old lenses. - No VR, but f1.8 is waaayyyy faster than f5.6 on a DX 18-55mm.. - Filter thread size is 58mm not 52mm as listed. So, you do the math. For me, and for non-critical work were you are not going to print mural size prints. I think it is worth the try. Time will tel how long it will last. Happy shooting! ... show more

  • Inexpensive, not cheap.
*: YN50MM Nikon
Received this lens in excellent, sturdy packaging, clearly a quality oriented company. All the features look first rate, not cheap or unfinished. Proof is in the pudding, and I'm quite pleased with the image quality I'm getting. I'm predicting that once word gets out on this brand, prices will increase, and not due to tariffs. ... show more

  • Quality and Price
*: YN50MM Nikon
For the price of this lens and for what I photograph (pets) it's perfect. I didn't have an issue attaching it to a Nikon D300. I'm just a beginner so I didn't want to spend a ton of a money and this worked out perfectly.
