The lightweight compact AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G Special Edition from Nikon is a great travel companion especially when you need to freeze fast action or if a bright sunny day turns overcast. Its fast f/1.8 maximum aperture makes framing and focusing easier and allows for high shutter speeds and full exposures under dim lighting conditions. When shooting wide open at f/1.8 the AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G Special Edition renders beautifully blurred backgrounds bokeh. Make a tack-sharp foreground subject stand out against a softly blurred background a capability especially well suited for portraits. The lens’ 50mm focal length 75mm on DX-format cameras approximates the angle of view of our eyes perfect for creating natural perspective in your photographs. The AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G Special Edition is a remarkable blend of classic exterior styling and modern optics and lens technologies. Its focus ring features the easy to grip knurling/hatching from classic manual focus lenses while its autofocus system uses Nikon’s innovative Silent Wave Motor SWM for ultra-fast near silent precision focusing. SWM also allows for seamless manual focus override when fine adjustments are desired. The AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G Special Edition will give you years of brilliant performance.
