Nikon 50mm f/1.8G AF-S
The Nikon 50mm f/1.8G AF-S is a “normal” lens for everyday shooting with an FX or DX camera. Key features include:
Very sharp images
1.5-foot minimum focusing distance
Silent Wave autofocus motor with manual focus override
Excellent value

There are a lot of areas where Nikon lenses frustrate me. But at the same time there are others where Nikon just blows everyone else away. The 50mm f/1.8 is one of those times. It’s just an excelle...
Q & A
“G” is a reference to a G-Type lens and is distinguishable from a standard D-Type lens by its lack of an aperture control ring. G-Type lenses relay distance information to compatible DSLRs like a D-Type lens but rely wholly on electronic aperture control through a camera body.
“AF-S” refers to Auto Focus that features Nikon’s Silent Wave Motor or “SWM.”
