The details
At a glance: Classic compact 50mm f/1.8 'nifty fifty' for full-frame Nikon - screw-drive AF, mechanical aperture ring.
About this lens
The Nikon AF 50mm f/1.8 is the classic "nifty fifty" fast normal prime from Nikon's AF line. Compact, light, and affordable, it has been a staple of Nikon kits for decades - a sharp and versatile lens for portraits, low light, and everyday photography.

|---|---|
| Minimum focus distance | 0.45m |
| Filter thread | 52mm |

Works with
- Nikon F-mount full-frame (FX) DSLRs with in-body AF motor (D7xxx, D8xx, pro bodies)
- Nikon film SLRs - the mechanical aperture ring is fully compatible with manual-aperture bodies
- Nikon DX (APS-C) DSLRs (75mm equivalent); entry-level DX bodies (D3xxx/D5xxx) will be manual-focus only
Best for
A popular first prime lens for Nikon shooters - fast aperture, low weight, and genuinely sharp stopped down. On DX bodies it becomes a short portrait lens (75mm equivalent). Requires a Nikon DSLR with an in-body AF motor for autofocus; manual focus only on entry-level bodies.
Frequently asked questions
Will it autofocus on entry-level Nikon DSLRs (D3xxx / D5xxx)?
No. This lens uses screw-drive autofocus and requires a Nikon body with an in-body AF motor (D7xxx, D8xx or pro bodies, or older film SLRs). On entry-level bodies it can be used in manual focus only.
Why buy from Bass & Bligh
Bought from a real shop, not a warehouse.
Dispatched on the Monday… great service
Ordered a Panasonic four thirds lens dispatched on the Monday after purchase and delivered on the following Tuesday great service. Tried on the camera and initial thoughts are wow pin sharp and clear photos. Thank you
George P.Ordered a lens onlineA proper little treasure trove
3rd time I've been to this shop to treat myself to some new kit. Always very friendly and knowledgeable. Fairly priced too. I would highly recommend a visit if your nearby and looking for camera gear. I'd say if they don't have what your looking for, it's probably not possible to find anywhere. It's a proper little treasure trove.
Philip B.Third visit to the shopBrilliant advice with awesome customer service
Sure you can buy online and possibly save a few pounds.. but if you require and appreciate knowledge and brilliant advice with awesome customer service then it's a no brainer...This is a real camera shop like it used to be back int day..
