Nice, affordable lens.
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
Works well with my D40 – doesn’t auto-focus but, since I only use it for portrait settings, that’s not a deal breaker. Well worth the money.
Good lens, but unusable at f/1.8

[...]. My primary purpose for this lens was low light exposures where I wanted to use it wide open at f/1.8. Unfortunately, at f/1.8, the images are soft. At f/4 and smaller however, the images are crisp and very contrasty. Closer to f/22, softness creeps in again. At first I thought I too may have had a bad sample. But a second copy that I tried gave the same results. If you intend to use this lens between f/4 and f/19, it will produce excellent images. However, if you are looking to use it for high speed photography, shallow DoF or low light photography (i.e. wide open aperture), this lens may not be for you. I suppose that is to be expected for a lens that only costs $130!
I dont own this lens I just have a question I was hoping someone could answer
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I have a Nikon d3000 (Nikons new entry level dslr not the d300) and really want this lens. I have shot with the 50 mm f1.4 lens before and it autofocuses just fine, but I was wondering if this lens would autofocus on my camera. If I have to manually focus it is not a big dealI just want to know before I buy it if this lens would autofocus. Anyone who caould answer my question that would be really helful.
Would be cool if the D40 didn’t suck.

I usually shoot Canon, but due to many other reason I’m stuck with a Nikon D40 for now. I don’t really know anything about Nikon, but I figured this would be a rad lens. The problem is that it won’t auto focus on the D40. I know I know, I should have researched it more and learned about it, but really? Come on, who makes a camera this day and age that can’t auto focus with certain lenses. Whatever, I’m returning it and getting the 35mm 1.8. I played it with it a bit and it had some really nice results. Amazon also got it to be super quick, overnight actually.
Awesome value

This lens works great in low light. Most of my shoots take place in low ambient light settings with no flash or speed light use. This lens does a great job of producing a sharp image at high ISOs.
Great lens – 7 out of 5 stars!!!

I found so many different sites that all had reviews that pointed to this lens – and they were all totally correct.
To sum it up this lens is amazing.
Build quality is pretty good. Pictures come out very sharp. It focuses really fast probably since its so compact and light.
And on top of all this its price less is than $150!!! I think its the cheapest lens that Nikon makes.
I am so glad I brought it.
Cheap and awesome!

The lens is smaller than I expected, but its performance is amazing. I tested when it just arrived, and uploaded the first shots in Facebook:[...]
I highly recommend it!
