The Nikon AF NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8D is a classic prime lens that combines simplicity, speed, and versatility. Compact and lightweight, it is perfect for photographers who want a sharp, fast lens for portraits, street photography, or everyday use.

Bright Aperture for Creative Control

With a fast f/1.8 maximum aperture, this lens captures crisp images even in low light. It also allows greater control over depth of field, helping you isolate subjects with smooth background blur and achieve professional-looking results.

Sharpness and Color Accuracy

The lens features Nikon’s Super Integrated Coating (SIC), which reduces flare and ghosting. This ensures vibrant colors, strong contrast, and high image clarity, even in challenging backlit conditions.

Smooth and Pleasing Bokeh

A rounded seven-blade diaphragm enhances the bokeh quality, producing soft, natural background blur. This makes it ideal for portraits, product photography, and artistic shots where subject isolation is key.

Compatibility and Autofocus

• Designed for FX-format DSLRs, but also works with DX-format cameras, where it delivers a 75mm equivalent focal length.

• Autofocus is available on Nikon DSLRs with a built-in AF motor.

• On models like the D3000, D5000, D40, D40X, and D60, autofocus is not supported, but manual focus can still be used with excellent results.
