This lens has been great so far, especially for the price. I'm using it with a D3100, and personally I kind of like the fact that it's manual focus only. Back in the day, that's all there was, and it feels a little more gratifying to get a good shot that you had to focus yourself.

Sometimes it seems as though my subject is in focus through the viewfinder, but then it turns out to be a bit off in the actual shot. I'm not sure if this is an issue with my specific lens or the depth of field due to my aperture/shutter speed combination, but I might just need to experiment some more to get the hang of it. Feel free to comment if you have an idea of what I'm doing wrong.

It lets what I consider to be a ton of light in (kind of wordy, but I just mean that it's a great lens for low-light situations), and the bokeh seems to be good as well. If you're interested in an example of video shot with the lens, check out this video (the front, straight on view was shot with my D3100 and a 50mm f/1.8D AF Nikkor Lens): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QMDYcoqbZns
