Classic 50mm prime for FX and DX shooters

The Nikon 2214 AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G Special Edition is a new, fixed-length lens with a Nikon F mount. It covers both FX and DX formats, offering a 50mm focal length and a maximum aperture of f/1.8. The compact design weighs 6.7oz and measures 2.80" in diameter by 2.00" in length, suiting everyday and travel photography.

Consistent rendering at wide apertures

The seven-blade rounded diaphragm produces smooth background blur at f/1.8, while the single aspherical element helps control aberrations during sustained use. Super Integrated Coating reduces flare and ghosting when shooting in bright or mixed lighting. The Silent Wave Motor maintains quiet, precise autofocus performance across the focus range down to 1.5ft.

Straightforward F-mount installation

The lens attaches directly to any Nikon F-mount body without an adapter, and the G-type design means aperture is controlled from the camera. The 58mm filter thread accepts standard screw-on filters. The enhanced knurling on the focus ring improves manual override grip, though the 0.15x magnification limits close-up work. Buyers needing macro reproduction ratios or wider maximum apertures should consider other options.
