The Nikon AF FX NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8D Lens (Portrait)
For the price tag of the lens, the build quality is actually surprisingly good making the lens very easy to use while also being very robust at the same time. Being a prime lens with a focal length of 50mm it is ideal for any portrait or wedding photography that you may wish to use it for and will provide you with very sharp photographs like some of the examples captured with the lens in our article.

Being a Nikon lens, it will seamlessly attach to the lens mount on your Nikon d7100’s camera body without issues or the need to pick up any lens converters. Due to being a prime lens, the Nikon 50mm f/1.8D has no zoom capability at all but its focusing is solid and the manual focus ring is very easy to use.
The f/1.8 aperture of the lens also allows it to take some very sharp images in low light and nighttime conditions too. This allows you to use the lens in a large number of common situations where you may find yourself wanting to capture a high-quality photograph.

Wrapping this section up, if you want a budget-friendly, high performing portrait lens for your Nikon d7100 then you should definitely be looking towards picking up the Nikon 50mm f/1.8D.
