hey guys so it's tame here with a review of the Nikon 50 millimeter 1.8 G lens this is the lightest 50 millimeter Nick or prime lens and features quite a few of the latest technologies little compatibility for crop sensor DSLRs such as the D 3100 and D 5100 let's take a look at what all it has to offer when you pick up the 1.8 G you'll find that it comes with a pouch for storing the lens HP 47 lens hood along with the lens itself taking a closer look you see the lenses built quite well a bite out of plastic up front you will find the front element with a rather beefy 58 millimeter filter size and on top there is the focus ring as well as an integrated window to see focus distance over on the left side there is the switch for autofocus or manual focus a nice feature is that even in autofocus mode you can still manually override the focus yourself to get the shot just right the performance with the 1.8 G is outstanding even at the maximum aperture of f-18 images and video are very sharp and colors are strong while stopping things down a bit helps even more especially in the corners the bouquet aka the depth of field is also very nice and soft never distracting from the subject of your image much of this performance is due to the single a spherical element which is a first for a Nikon 50 millimeter prime lens it's also fairly quiet when focusing in video mode although it is not silent there is a trade-off for all this and it is the barrel distortion while not noticeable under most circumstances it is there especially if you like taking pictures of brick walls I mean come on who doesn't overall for the roughly $220 price I have no problems recommending this to any Nikon user who likes a similar lens the performance is absolutely there the build quality is just fine and the price is spot-on providing much of the performance of the 1.4 G for less than half the price if you enjoyed the video definitely be sure to leave a thumbs up and if you're interested in more be sure to subscribe
