This deal was posted here and full credit goes to the OP. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/391558. Modes, pls mark my post as a dupe.

Pretty good price for an Australian stock.

Copy paste from the website:

Capture images of crisp and sharp brilliance with the Nikon AF-S Nikkor 50mm f/1.8G lens. Compatible with Nikon FX-format digital-SLR cameras, this lens has a 50mm fixed focal length and a maximum aperture of f/1.8 – making it ideal for everyday shooting and low light situations.

Crisp Clarity
Produce images with beautiful background blur (Bokeh) with the lens' wider aperture settings, and create natural perspectives with the 50mm focal length. Equipped with 2 focus modes – autofocus with manual override and manual, it provides you with flexibility and creative control. What's more the Silent Wave Motor (SWM) ensures that auto-focusing is extremely quiet.

All-Rounder
A perfect all-round lens, it's suitable for a range of uses including portrait images, indoor and action photography. A new optical design incorporating an aspherical lens element provides you with superior rendering performance.

    Give partial credit to this dude here - https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/391558

      Will give him full credit. It didn’t come up on my search though..

  • cloudie9 on 17/07/2018 - 23:55

    Go Harvey go!

  • chossenger on 18/07/2018 - 01:28

    Damn…
    I've already got the 35mm, but this is a neat deal and really tempting. Anyone know if the CA is any better on this lens than the 35?

    Keep in mind this is a FX full frame lens. This will be 75mm on a DX crop sensor body.

      Aren't all lenses sold in their 35mm equiv. focal length?

      • uvbunny on 18/07/2018 - 03:13

        Typically, yes. This is an FX lens, so it's actual focal length is the same as it's 35mm equiv. length: 50mm. On a DX body with a smaller sensor it's equiv. focal length will be 75mm.

          Probably worded it wrong, what I meant is that Nikon sells both a DX and FX 35mm. If you used both you would get the same ~50mm regardless of which you used on a crop sensor. It's only important to note if a lens is designed for a crop body (DX) as would you get vignetting on a full frame camera.

    I’ve had this lens for a while. Really like it, takes amazing photos!

  • Sofie519 on 18/07/2018 - 08:15

    Fantastic lens, great for portraits and low light …

  • Gordon84 on 18/07/2018 - 08:55

    My favourite lens i own. Good price as well

  • fookos on 18/07/2018 - 13:02

    Oooh, I'm torn - nice price… I've got the 50mm 1.8D - it's older and cheaper brother - but not sure the real world benefits between that and the 1.8G justify making the purchase, even though I could sell off my existing lens… Anyone have/had both and care to comment?

    Most reviews seem to suggest the bokeh might be slightly more 'pleasing' on the newer lens but that, other than being sharper on the edges, the 1.8G one doesn't offer much advantage.

    If you have a body that doesn't have an focus motor inbuilt then obviously the 1.8G is your only option.

    If this was the 1.4G, I'd certainly jump on it but don't think that will ever be sub-$200!

    • r0nmac on 19/07/2018 - 18:35

      Isnt the older lens a "screw driver" lens ?

      • fookos on 19/07/2018 - 19:17

        Correct!
        Both my dSLRs have an autofocus motor in the body, so the 'plastic fantastic nifty fifty' has been fine.

        But… I ended up grabbing on of these anyway - at sub-$200 it's a nice price for a better build, silent wave motor and few other perks. Not that much between them though for most applications unless you're shooting wide open.

        • r0nmac on 19/07/2018 - 22:58

          Great. I too price matched at JB. Put my $200 gift card to good use.

          Nice match for my aged workhorse D700.

  • syousef on 18/07/2018 - 15:30

    Own it. Good lens.

  • ozizoy on 18/07/2018 - 16:40

    Thanks OP. I ordered one to pick up

    • Ozbaragain on 18/07/2018 - 18:50

      No worries mate

    • fookos on 19/07/2018 - 11:53

      Or only ever make a purchase there when a best in market price is offered - don't think this lens has been sub-$200 before.

    Was able to pricematch this at JB then used the 5% discount for thursday and then used discounted jb hifi giftcards, total spend of just ~$170.
