AF Nikkor 50mm f/1.8D

The Nikon AF NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8D is a compact normal-length prime lens designed for Nikon F-mount cameras in FX format, though it can also be used on DX-format bodies where it provides a 75mm equivalent focal length. The lens features a bright f/1.8 maximum aperture that enables excellent low-light performance and provides substantial control over depth of field for selective focus techniques. Its optical design consists of six elements arranged in five groups with a Super Integrated Coating applied to suppress internal reflections, flare, and ghosting for improved contrast and color accuracy in bright and backlit conditions.

The autofocus system offers quick and precise focusing performance when used with compatible Nikon DSLRs equipped with an autofocus motor, though manual focus is available on all F-mount compatible bodies. A rounded seven-blade diaphragm produces pleasing bokeh quality that benefits shallow depth of field work. The lens has a minimum focus distance of 1.48 feet and accepts 52mm filters.
