The Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G lens is an FX-format lens that is highly popular with wedding photographers, studio, fashion and portrait photographers. In addition, it’s also a great lens for a Nikon DSLR camera owner who’s keen to expand their equipment beyond their kit lens option.
Due to its light weight, compact design and affordable price tag, the NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G is considered an essential lens for many Nikon DSLR camera owners. Offering a standard 50mm focal length, ideal for everyday shooting and portraiture, this is one of the best Nikon DSLR lenses available. Featuring a constant f/1.8 aperture enables photographers to have uncompromising control over their shutter speed and depth of field. At its maximum f/1.8 aperture, this lens will produce extreme shallow depth of field effects and create beautiful, silky background blurring. It also allows photographers to use higher shutter speeds under low-light conditions when taking pictures or video recording. The 7-blade aperture diaphragm of this lens is what helps to deliver attractive out-of-focus highlights, also known as bokeh.
