In the US price is set at $220 so I beleve that in the UK it should cost less than a £180. It offers Nikon FX camera format users a fast, affordable, compact prime lens with a classic normal focal length. The fast 1.8 aperture is designed for low-light shots and portraits with a nice circular bokeh effect (the older version was not so circular).It is also fully compatible with DX format.
Nikon said the new lens renders "tack-sharp" image quality and "Nikon core technologies that improve upon the original to make a great lens even better."
"The 50mm lens has been a staple for photographers since the 35mm film days, and this new lens enables Nikon customers that shoot photos and movies to discover the creative benefits of this traditional focal length," said Lisa Osorio.
Nikon marketing general manager. "This f/1.8 prime lens offers exceptional image quality and control, and benefits from modern Nikon technologies to enhance performance such as the Silent Wave Motor and use of an aspheric lens - it's a very attractive package for any shooting discipline."
The AF-S 50mm f1.8G will focus as close as 1.48 feet, and will provide wide depth of field control.
The integration of an ultra-compact Silent Wave Motor ensures fast, whisper-quiet AF operation, which is essential when recording movies.The lens is made with seven elements in six groups, with one aspherical lens element to reduce instances of coma and aberration. A rounded diaphragm opening combined with the seven-blade aperture contributes to a substantially more circular bokeh for a more natural appearance of out-of-focus background elements. Nikon said "super Integrated Coatings are employed to suppress lens flare and chromatic aberration while ensuring vivid color balance".
