Top three 50mm lenses for D850?

Another week done with the Nikon 50mm 1.8 G and I am still impressed! I have not found any negative about this lens and it just gives me a lot!

It works great on my old cameras (F80/D3100/etc.), too!

This lens should be in everyone's bag.:)

Dave,

It is a great little lens, especially for the money. I've owned it and the 1.4G, and the ART. When I got the ART, I sold the faster G figuring I'd never want to grab it over the ART and then kept the 1.8G for travel. End of day, I personally missed the 1.4G -- it was far lighter than the ART and not much heavier than the 1.8G; AND IMHO, the 1.4G delivered just a teensy bit more than the 1.8G overall. And so I bought another 1.4G to confirm, was happy again, so sold the 1.8G and kept the ART a bit longer until I realized I always grabbed the 1.4G instead.

MY only point here is, you owe it to yourself to at least try out the 1.4G -- but in that I'm taking nothing away from the little 1.8 ;)
