Think Camera has posted their review of the Nikon 50mm 1.8 AFD lens where they give it a rating of four stars out of five. In their review they recommend - 'Don't let the low price and plastic body put you off - this is a pro lens that you can use all day long to produce fantastic images. When the light goes down, open it up wide and it will still blow your kit lens away for sheer quality. Three word review? If you own a Nikon DSLR, "Just buy it". '

I have to agree with the positive review of the lens. The lens performs great in certain situations so it�s worth picking up. But of course you will need a more versatile lens in addition to this one. At the moment this is my only functioning lens and I must say the lack of zoom is annoying.
Agreed - as a short tele/portrait lens on a DX body, this shines.
Counter it's sharpness by going wide open! On a 'full frame' body it's a 'desert island' lens i.e. move closer for tele, move away for wide :-).
I liked the previous model and only sold it to get the manual focus 55mm f1.2 (which is waaay softer).
