First line is a typo: “The AF-S 50mm f/1.8G from Nikon is a standard zoom lens…”
It’ not a zoom.

You really think that ehe main competition to a $120 Nikon prime is a wider, $1600 Nikon prime? Doesn’t seem right. How about Sigma’s 50/1.5 for $450? Or an older generation Nikon 50/1.8?

what do you mean by the statement “The focus ring has no hard stops at either end of the range and common on newer lenses.”?

what do you mean by “The focus ring has no hard stops at either end of the range but not unusual on modern lenses”?

he means that the focus ring doesn’t physically stop when it’s at either end of its focus range. the ring will just keep going in the same direction, despite not having any further effect on focus. this is a common design characteristic with many modern consumer lenses.

cut the guy some slack. english isn’t his mother tongue, and he still writes it better than a good deal of native english-speakers.

So the focus ring can be rotated 360 degrees? or can be turned from infinite to its end distance range?

Thank you for your review. I received one of these lenses for Christmas and detected some front focus when shooting wide open. I didn’t know whether I should be concerned or not. From your comment, I think I can easily work around the issue.

Thanks again,
