_____________________________________________
Unsure if a prime lens is right for you? Here you have two TRICKS:
1. Fix your kit lens to the desired focal lenght and shoot with it for one/two weeks. See if it felt too wide or too narrow.
2. Experiment with cheap VINTAGE LENSES. A bunch of old lenses with manual focus and aperture can be found on ebay and local shops. Pre-AI an AI from Nikkon are built like a tank and feature excellent performance. Only few warnings: they are only manual focus, and they mostly won't meter on your mid-range camera. So be prepare to learn manual focus and reading the histogram. Pay attention of Pre-AI lenses because they need to be adapted to fit modern Nikons mount.

THUMBS UP if you are thinking to upgrade your lens!
What lens are you considering?
Used to have the 50mm D lens. Sold it along with an old camera to sweeten a deal. Thinking of grabbing the newer 50mm G lens f1.8 (as long as my wife doesn't find out I'm buying another lens) 😂
Excellent tip on trying your current lens at the focal length of the lens you’re thinking of buying! Good review.
if you can lower the music it will improve your audience, it just becomes alittle annoying after some time ... thanks
thanks for the feedback! Will check the audio levels better next time :)
@@newpix7555 that music is torture ,i can watch till the end
Great tutorial! I shoot with a Nikon classic 50mm 1.8D and a 24-70mm zoom lens, and I find BOTH are very useful around lenses! Thanks for sharing
Thank you for the explanation. I have a clear understanding of the use for this lens.
Great, informative review, thank you very much! :)
I just bought one , in preference to the f1.4 NIKKOR . I am extremely pleased with it and will keep it .
Very informative video.Just got mine yesterday,can't wait to try it out.
super good lens!
Just had a whole corporate photoshoot project (about 37 people) with this baby. Extremely sharp and nice to use
Very good info about the 50mm lens!
200 subscribers!!! yeaaah congratulations bro!
Keep crushing it :)
Really like you're channel. Like the studio / work area you use to video.
Would be cool to see some of your video especially video in low light.
Look forward to the next episode.
Thanks for the idea! This is actually my home studio, very small as I am a student living in a dorm :) however I tried to arrange it as nice as possible for the videos and the game changer was purchasing some cheap black curtains at Ikea ;)
Thanks. Subscribed and watching more videos all the time.
thanks for the support! I checked the video about your bike crash, how are you doing now? Hope fine!
I agree, I have the same lens and it gives great bokeh. I just did I video on how to get that. The G model is key as the 50mm 1.8D will not auto focus.
thanks mate, helped me make a purchase
Really enjoyed your video!!
I have just bought Nikon d5300.I'm beginner not that familiar with the manual mode. Can you please make a video regarding understanding the manual mode or the different settings we can apply in different situations.
Thank you!!😊
that's a very nice request, I guess it will help a lot of people :) on my to do list ;)
m waiting on this one!! the video was easy to understand and to the point. Thanks!
Nice Keep up the good work!
Thank you for the kind words :)
Really like your style and the boom mike is cool.
I have recently acquired a Nikon d5200. I bought an adapter ring with the so called
Focus to infinity lense for seven bucks on eBay so I can mount my Super Takumar
50mm F1.4 Vintage prime also from eBay ( Was around 150 bucks ). Big warning for all
Those out there wanting to try vintage lenses on your Nikon ,with some of these vintage primes is that you won't be able Get infinity focus to work. These vintage lenses give fantastic closeup and mid range
Distance shots but on the Nikon body infinity focus will not be able to be obtained.
I spent hours on the net finding a fix. Don't bother just buy the Nikon F1.8 D lense
Or the one reviewed here in this video ( Nikon F1.8G ) then you can skip the frustration and just enjoy
The lense and camera. Do your homework and enjoy....Cheers guys.
Yo great insights! That´s a very common issue when you have vintage lenses form other brands. For example I have the same issue with a Pentacon 50mm 1.8 that I adapted. I can´t focus very far from me. However, it has a very close focusing distance making very good for nice macro shots ;)
I would generally advice for the same F1.8D, available for 60/70€. Cheap and excellent piece of glass! :)
I personally have chosen the G series for the autofocus, which is essential when I work with people taking portraits. I require speed which was not possible with manual focus in my case.
Excellent except for the background noise or music.
Hi!
Thank for the feedback! I have been toning down the music in my videos. :)
Thanks for Nikon 50mm reviev 😀
Thank you for stopping by!
I just bought the 50mm 1.8 fx lens. Will this be fine for my d5100 im planning on buying the d750 soon. Did I buy the right lens?
I want to buy this lens, but i am interested in astrophotography... And with a nikond5300 crop cam i will get 75mm, which i doubt can get full milky way with a landscape for composition. Would you suggest it for landscape and astrophotography?
Still confused between 50mm and 30mm for my dx body? I want to do sharper portrait and street photography too.
Nice videos!! You have one more subscriber!! 😀
thank you so much for the support!
Keep up the good work! +1 sub
thanks, will do :)
Solid Lens. I wish Nikon would work on the Focus ring. When turning it it really feels like the ring is turning on a bed of sand. It is REAL gritty. But all in all for sub $200 category, I won't nag any. I truly do enjoy the lens. I have not picked up the 35mm yet. I find myself wishing I had it more and more every day.
Totally agree! I would say that 50mm on crop sensor is the best and most versatile choice!
Very Sharp lens, but nobody mentions its drawback: Focus shift between F 1.8-2.8, especially noticable at close distance. After F4 depth of field solves the "problem".
Hi, I am Hasan. I am a beginner photographer. I have a Nikon D3400 and 18-55mm. I want to buy a prime lense. My choice are 35mm f1.8g and 50mm f1.8g but don't understand which to buy. I shoot mostly normal life like street portrait landscape etc. so I hope you can help me.
street photography? Then go with the 35mm :) For landscape I would stick with your wider kit lens
Newpix Thank you....*
Bruh....that music must go. Please. Now. Forever more.
Which is good prime lens for nioon d5300? 50mm 1.8 or 85mm 1.8?
I feel that the 50mm will take you great way to start in portrait. It is much more budget friendly and will earn you money.
I would start with that, earn and then buy the 85. The thing is the 85 is much less versatile and requires specific needs (like headshots, portraits).
What do you usually like to shoot?
Newpix I want to take portraits of my one year old son.
50mm prime lens can be use in nikon D5300?
Sure! All prime lenses can be used here. The only thing is that they will be cropped compared to FX. Meaning you will have less field of view.
Newpix ok thank you. really appreciated!
Nice videos keep it up sir..
Sir i have nikon d500
I want to buy prime lense and i am confuse between 35mm and 50mm
I want to take portraits and street also and i know 1.5x factor so please help me for prime lense for portraits and street photography thanks.
I would say, use the kit lens for street and get the 50mm for the portraits. That what I did ;)
I got the 35mm because 50mm gets to close on the crop sensor. It seems like you´you and I have the same camera with almost the same lenses
sounds good! The think is that 35 is usually too short for me as I mainly do portraits and fashion photography, which gets me closer to the classic 85mm focal lenght. In your case the 35 is perfect for street and general pics i guess
What if I want to shoot landscape? Wouldn't I get a different lens?
If so, is the Nikorr 10-20mm F 4.5 - 5.6 any good?
Yes :)
I would say that for landscape that is a much better choice
cool keep it real bro easy way to explain let the person awake
Hello Youssef, thanks for the kind words! I am working on a new lens review, the Sigma 17-50 2.8 ;)
Newpix you're welcome. .. good thing I'm waiting to see it .. only have a question please ihave nikon d5600 wich irealised later that its not full frame and many things but imade a deal iwant with this camera to do somthing great ... if light room can support Nikon d5600 raw files BiG Thanks !!!
the D5600 is still a beast of a camera even though not Full Frame ;)
You will have no problems with lightroom and the D5600 raw files :)
Newpix thanks for your Tips 👌✌
Very informative, but the background music is very distracting and bad….
Your background music is very distracting from your message. :-(
The AF-D 50mm f1.8 is a way better value, has a real aperture ring, adapts better to mirrorless, and has a great optical formula.
Great vid terrible music dude... turn it down...
Hate the background music! turned off after three minutes
Good video but do you need that fucking awful background music?...
