Nikon 50mm f/1.8D AF Nikkor
9 out of 10 points and recommendedBang for Buck, Weight, SharpnessWider would be betterAlthough landscapes are not the strength of a DX equivalent 75mm lens, the 50 1.8D can produce very nice results stopped all the way down in low light. I have achieved very sharp results with surprisingly balanced contrast at f22 in evening cityscapes. The 50 1.8D is a fantastic first lens that shows developing photographers the advantages and limitations of prime lenses and will inspire lust for much more expensive glass.
