• Description : The Nikkor AF-S 50mm f/1.8 G, an updated version of Nikon's entry level normal prime. Until accidently leaked on a Nikon web site, hardly anyone would have expected the long lasting AF-D 50/1.8 to see an update soon. There are many other primes in Nikon's current line up that certainly many consider to have higher priority to be refreshed. For Nikon, the AF-S 50/1.8 G makes perfect sense. In addition, especially 50mm lenses are very popular for portraiture on DX cameras, or any other application that benefits from shallow depth of field. Due to the omission of an integrated motor, the AF-D 50/1.8 lacked AF when used with current entry-level Nikon DSLRs, making the lens an unattractive option for a quite large market segment. The 50/1.8 G solves this issue with its AF-S drive.
