I have been off for the past week visiting family in Brisbane.
Brisbane is the State capital of Queensland and a beautiful city.
Here are some images from the humble 1.8/50D Nikkor.

Nice shots !
I visited the city two years ago and your first shot reminds me on the time I spent on the Story Bridge shooting the very same area.

Thanks Moira.
I can find very little to desire in a 50mm lens that is not already present in this one.
Here are a couple more from along the river.

A very neat little lens it seems from the beautiful photographs
I have the canon ef 50mm f1,8 and despite it's super plastic construction it consistently delivers great results

Thank you Karen.
My son has the Canon lens and he is very happy with it as well.
Yes, the Nikkor is excellent and is easy to manually focus, which is my preference.

Just bought one used today for $89.00 C.A.D... It is my very first A/F interchangeable lens.
There's a couple of shots to show what the lens looks like.
Yes, it's made in China. Construction seems to be almost all plastic/carbon fiber. There are seven aperture blades in it, and it is definitely coated with something that gives the glass a purple/rose color.
My copy seems to have been used a bit. Slightly grindy, plasticky feel to manual focusing with it. Very likely nylon bearing surfaces in there that are wearing.
It's lightning fast in A/F mode. The only M/F lens I have that approaches this speed is the old short throw 50mm f2 H.C. nikkor.
A couple of quick test shots here:
At ISO 200 in A/F and full Program/Matrix metering mode on the D-810. Aperture is f10 as selected by the camera. Image is un-manipulated except for re-size to fit here.
Hefty crop of the image above. Not bad at all, considering the low hanging dull over-cast we've been putting up with here for a while.
I have mixed feelings on this. I can't really tell a difference in I/Q between this and the old stand by 50mm f2 M/F only K based nikkor.
What it does do (and very well at that) is allow full use of the the camera's capabilities that the m/f lenses miss out on. (yeah it's a nikon gripe, but I live with it.) It's a lot lighter in weight as well. I don't think I'll ever quite get used to that plastic feel though. I'll give it a good run when things clear up weather wise here.

Similar frame to above in better lighting conditions.
Significant crop of the r/h edge. Not much to define in the corners on this one, but this should give an approximate idea.
The camera selected f9 for reasons beyond me.
As a glorified point and shoot, it works reasonably well.
Now to play with it by assigning various user inputs in the more controllable modes...
