Nikon AF NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8D Lens

The Nikon AF Nikkor 50mm f/1.8D is a full-frame standard prime lens built for Nikon’s F-mount SLR and DSLR system. At 50mm with an f/1.8 maximum aperture, it delivers a natural field of view well suited to everyday photography, portraiture, and street work, with useful light gathering capability for lower light conditions and sufficient depth of field control for background separation when desired. The D-type designation indicates the lens transmits distance information to compatible Nikon bodies, supporting more accurate matrix metering and flash exposure calculations. Autofocus is handled via Nikon’s screw-drive system, requiring a camera body with a built-in focus motor for autofocus operation, while remaining fully compatible with manual focus on all F-mount bodies. A compact and lightweight construction makes it a practical and accessible standard prime option within the Nikon F-mount ecosystem.
