A very light and compact Nikon 50mm standard lens. The lens's maximum aperture of f/1.8 is particularly suitable for shooting in low light and situations where a shallow depth of field is desired. It also produces a bright viewfinder image. The revised optical design features an aspherical lens element and Nikon's own SWM ultrasonic motor, which makes autofocusing extremely quiet. This high-quality lens offers excellent value for money.
On Nikon's smaller DX format cameras, the lens is equivalent to a 75mm focal length. This mild telephoto lens is very suitable for portrait photography, for example.
