The Nikon 50mm f/1.8 ("Nifty Fifty") is a legendary, affordable prime lens available in three main autofocus versions over the years. Depending on your camera body, it delivers bright (f/1.8) low-light performance and beautiful background blur (bokeh).
The original autofocus version introduced in the 1980s. It features a plastic build, manual aperture ring, and relies on a mechanical "screwdriver" drive from the camera body for autofocus.
