Im pretty new to photography but felt it was time to upgrade from my kit (18-55mm) lens. I bought this as it was a) a cheap prime lens and b) I had heard it was good for general photography and portraits. I think its fantastic and excellent value for money and has really helped me develop as a photographer. Its excellent for general photography and especially portraits. I love using it for street photography in particular. The large aperture of this lens really allows for a great control over depth of field and is also really useful in low light or indoor conditions. I have found this especially useful in practicing and improving my photographic skills. It produced really high quality photos and Im really happy with it. Highly recommend.The lens also comes with a hood, cap (obviously) and storage pouch. The hoods great when shooting outside and can be neatly stowed in reverse down the body of the lens when not in use which is great for saving space and not having loose things lying about. The pouch is great for storage and whilst it wont help in the case of knocks and bumps is great for a little light protection and protection from the elements and things like dust. The lens also has a great autofocus that’s both accurate and swift which is really really useful when photographing. It won’t go super close to the lens, you’ll need a specialised macro for that, but does a really great job for all other parts.The lens is great, in my opinion, as a bit of a general lens to keep on the camera. Its useable in a wide variety of situations and is quite versatile. Its also incredibly light weight and compact meaning you will barely even notice its there. Great for when youre just carrying your camera around (such as on holiday) or exploring.As this is so cheap and also high quality i would really recommend this to beginners looking to up there game and learn a bit more and improve. I certainly have. The wide aperture really helps in developing your understanding of the exposure triangle and to play about a bit to really learn by doing. Im still improving and have a long way to go but this is still proving valuable some time on and I believe Ill be using it for a long time yet.Overall: 5 stars! Would award 6 if I could. Absolutely excellent bit of kit that comes at a great price.If you found this review in any way useful or informative Id be really grateful if you let me know by hitting the helpful button below 🙂

This is great portrait lens, lightweight, with nothing much to break or go wrong.I keep this on my D7200 body a lot of the time. With DX format, it is the rough equivalent of a 50mm in FX format, and it has a nice wide max aperture of F1.8.Compared to even an expensive zoom lens, this aperture is wide, giving great ‘blurry’ backgrounds for portraits, where the subject should be the focus of the pic, but not so wide (like the F1.4 also available) that if the eye is in focus, the nose will be blurry.As it is a fixed focal length, you don’t have the flexibility of a zoom, but you also don’t have the weight. You can move around to frame the subject if needed.Great classic lens.

I was a beginner when I got my Nikon D5200 and this was my first lens. I have to say instantly I could notice the difference between this and the kit lens. Lovely quick shots, amazing depth of field, and I don’t miss the zoom at all. I’ve definitely learnt to move forwards and backwards as and when I need to.Definitely recommend!

Good starting lens for a Nikon DX camera. Highly recommended. You could shoot entirely anything from portrait to landscape. Even though it is not a recommended portrait lens, you could do pretty much with its f/1.8 compared to the kit lens. Never buy kit lens ever. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a prime lens which is not so expensive.Advantage:1. Portraits2. Landscape3. Street photography4. Low light photography (No DX Zoom lens can do what this lens can in a low light situation)5. Less weight to carry compared to long zoom lens.Disadvantage1. Not a big disadvantage, but to keep in mind, you are helpless in restricted places like church, events where you have no enough room to move your legs to adjust the focal length you require at that particular moment. If you can move with your camera and adjust the focal length accordingly you can produce amazing results with this lens even in the church or event photography.This is the only DX lens you will ever need for your photography most of the time. Professionals can afford 24-70 or 70-200 for convenience, but they would use a more professional full frame bodies. You can compare the photo quality to those professional lens which are only f/2.8 and for this lens you can open up to f/1.8 which is a real advantage. So don’t waste your money on any other DX lens, (DX Zoom never ever) or DX kit lens if you think you will be upgrading to any full frame camera in the future, because DX lenses are not useful on a FX full frame camera because of its sensor size.

I’m just beginning and this is my first lens (other than the kit 18-55mm lens). I bought it because it’s the cheapest prime lens available and many experienced people recommend it. I tried it in the streets, and I noticed that it is not really meant to be used to take pictures of entire buildings (churches,…), since it is difficult to get everything in the frame. It works better for random pictures of people, signs, flowers, details of buildings, cars, food, dogs and bigger animals, children… It is really good for portraits, the large aperture gives a good control over the depth of field. I haven’t really tried low-light photography yet, but I expect it to be quite good in those situations.A lens hood and a cool leathery pouch are included, which is nice. The lens hood is very useful for protection, just leave it on there all the time. If you need to store the camera in a bag, you can put the hood the other way around to save space.Given the price compared to other lenses, I’d say it’s a good investment. It’s also good for a beginner like me, because it really helps me understand and play with ISO, aperture and shutter speed to change the result. It also forces you to think about the composition, because everything has to fit and it’s sometimes good to remove the unnecessary things from the frame. I’m still not even remotely good, but it’s definitely helping me to get better at photography.

Don’t waste your money buying kit lens 18-55 or any expensive DX zoom lens. This is the best lens for Nikon DX

Superb lens and at a great price. If you have a DX

Very good for the price, great for a beginner

For the price, this is outstanding.I needed a 35/50mm quite quickly for my D500, at this price it wasnt too much to lose if not up to the task. I am delighted with the results, there is a (very) slight softness if used at f1.8, but at f2 it disappears, the lens is usable up to f22 without any drama.

Superb lens and at a great price. If you have a DX, you should have this lens or be waiting to get it. Even at 1.8 it’s still sharp. Although I prefer my 50mm f1.4G, this is sharper wide open. Fast auto-focus motor too. So versatile but not as good for people pictures as the 50mm on a DX which has the angle of view of a 75mm on an FX (although not quite the same depth of field) and is very good for portraits. There isn’t too much the 35mm on a DX can’t do though, sport and wildlife photos excluded of course because you often need the reach of a telephoto lens.
