Nikon AF-S - NIKKOR 50MM f/1.8G Lens

The AF‎-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G Lens from Nikon is an attractive alternative to the classic 50mm f/1.4 ‎"‎normal‎"‎ lens for everyday shooting with an FX or 35mm camera‎.‎ The 50mm f/1.8 is nearly as ‎"‎fast‎"‎ as the f/1.4 and provides reduced lens flare and ghosting as well as superior color consistency through the use of Nikon‎'‎s Super Integrated Lens Coating‎.‎ One aspherical lens element virtually eliminates coma and spherical aberration‎.‎

Nikon‎'‎s Silent Wave Motor gives you smooth‎,‎ silent and precise autofocus operation‎,‎ and the M/A mode lets you quickly and easily override the autofocus system for fine manual focusing‎.‎ This lens is also compatible with DX cameras and when used with a DX camera‎,‎ the angle of view would be equivalent to a 75mm focal length lens‎.‎

Fast f/1.8 Compact FX‎-Format Prime Lens

This updated classic with a fast maximum aperture is ideal for everyday shooting‎,‎ perfect in low lighting situations and great for shallow depth of field control‎,‎ producing images with beautiful background blur‎.‎ When used on DX‎-format DSLRs its 35mm focal length equivalency is 75mm‎.‎

Shoot Tack‎-Sharp Portraits Every Time

Nikon‎'‎s Super Integrated Coating ‎(‎SIC‎)‎ enhances light transmission efficiency and offers superior color consistency and reduced flare‎,‎ while an aspherical lens element virtually eliminates coma and other types of aberrations‎,‎ even when shooting at the widest available aperture‎.‎

Quiet Autofocus

A significant innovation in AF lens technology‎,‎ Nikon‎'‎s Silent Wave Motor uses ultrasonic ‎(‎inaudible‎)‎ vibrations‎-rather than a gear system‎-to focus the lens‎,‎ providing incredibly smooth‎,‎ silent and precise autofocus operation‎.‎

Quick Switching from AF to MF

When fine manual focusing is needed‎,‎ simply rotate the lens focus ring‎.‎ M/A mode allows you to seamlessly override the AF system with virtually no time lag‎.‎
