Verdict
The Nikkor AF 50mm f/1.8 D is a low profile lens with less sex-appeal than the big
glass but it is an interesting lens nonetheless. At wide-open aperture it is a
little soft at the image borders and the contrast level is a little on the low
side. However, at medium aperture settings the resolution figures are exceptionally
high and surely a benchmark to beat. Distortions are negligible and vignetting
is very well controlled. The build quality of the lens is very decent and the
AF performance leaves nothing to be desired.
