What’s New: Nikon AF-S Nikkor 50mm f/1.8G

It’s nice to see that Nikon is focusing on prime lenses with this new release. What’s amazing is that this is taking place in the wake of Japan’s recent crisis.

This is an important addition to the Nikon lineup, as it adds a low-cost option for DX portraiture, or full-frame shooters taking a walk on the lean side. It may however be somewhat redundant to those who already own the AF-S 50mm f/1.4. If experience reveals that the 1.8 has superior bokeh, it might give it some competition. It will be interesting to see how it fairs in reviews.
