User profile: Amateur
Cons: None
Pros: Optical performance.
Summary: Compare all Nikon 50mm lenses across review sites on the net and you'll understand that this is optically the best 50mm lens. After 2 years of shooting on D7000 and D800E, the quality of this lens is confirmed. Amongst all the really high priced glass that I have, this is my favorite.

Price: $300
User profile: Professional
Cons: Quite bad cyan and purple fringing wide open in high-contrast scenes.
Pros: Fast aperture, fast AF, good overall IQ, especially when stopped down. Lightweight.
Summary: Great lens! The newer G version appears to be only slightly better in terms of optical quality (wide open. Stopped down they are the same). Yet the new G version has a much slower AF and is twice the price. Get this one instead!
