Nikon AF-S 50mm f1.8G

A Compact Standard Prime for Everyday Creativity

The Nikon AF-S 50mm f/1.8G Lens is a lightweight and versatile standard prime lens designed for Nikon FX-format DSLR cameras. Popularly known as the "Nifty Fifty," this lens delivers exceptional image quality, a bright f/1.8 aperture, and smooth background blur in a compact design. Whether you're capturing portraits, street scenes, travel moments, or everyday photography, it offers professional-level performance at an excellent value.

Sharp Images with Outstanding Optical Quality

Engineered with Nikon's advanced optics, the AF-S 50mm f/1.8G features 7 elements in 6 groups, including one Aspherical lens element that reduces distortion and spherical aberrations. Nikon's Super Integrated Coating (SIC) minimizes flare and ghosting while enhancing contrast and color accuracy, ensuring crisp and vibrant images in a variety of lighting conditions.

Bright f/1.8 Aperture for Low-Light Photography

The fast f/1.8 maximum aperture allows more light to reach the sensor, making it easier to shoot in low-light environments without increasing ISO excessively. It also creates beautiful background blur (bokeh), making portraits and close-up subjects stand out with impressive depth and clarity.

Fast and Silent Autofocus Performance

Equipped with Nikon's Silent Wave Motor (SWM), the lens provides fast, accurate, and quiet autofocus performance for both photography and HD video recording. Full-time manual focus override lets photographers fine-tune focus instantly without changing focus modes.
