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

The Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G is one of the most versatile and highly regarded prime lenses in Nikon’s lineup — a modern update to the classic “nifty fifty” with a fast, silent autofocus motor and excellent optical performance for the price. Its wide f/1.8 maximum aperture delivers beautiful subject separation and smooth background blur, making it a go-to choice for portraits, low-light shooting, and everyday photography.

With Nikon’s Silent Wave Motor (SWM) autofocus, full-time manual focus override, and a rounded 7-blade aperture for pleasing bokeh, this lens is compact, lightweight, and easy to carry as a walk-around prime or a fast low-light backup to a zoom kit. It’s compatible with both full-frame (FX) and crop-sensor (DX) Nikon DSLR bodies.

A fantastic lens for photographers moving beyond their kit zoom, or anyone who wants a fast, reliable prime without the bulk or cost of Nikon’s professional-grade optics.

Every lens we sell at Photodom is tested in-house to confirm it’s fully functional before it ships — from our Brooklyn storefront to your door.
