This is a "prime lens" meaning it has a fixed focal length unlike the typical zoom lens. This is probably one of the best lenses out in the market. Often called the "nifty fifty", it's perfect for family photos, portraiture or low light.
It is very cheap but has a good quality build. The reason for this is that it has fewer moving parts than your typical zoom lens. The downside you'll need to move about to compose your photos but this can be an advantage if you're on a learning curve. It helps you to become aware of your surroundings rather than just lazily zooming on a particular subject.
It only cost £120 which is perfect for photographers on a "budget". This lens also works on both digital and film cameras.
The quality of the pictures produced by this lens cannot be justified by just looking at samples. If you have a Nikon DSLR, I suggest you buy one of these.
And finally for protection, I suggest you buy a Nikon 52mm UV filter. It may be expensive, but it's worth spending a bit more for your investment.
