A combination of two greats, the super-sharp AF Nikkor 50mm 1:1.8 D, and the Nikon F90X. As a traditional AF lens, the 1:1.8 D works with all of Nikon's SLR cameras, film or digital, auto or manual focus, but it will not autofocus on Nikon bodies that do not have the mechanical autofocusing screw, such as the D40, D60, and D5000 models. On an APS-C-sized sensor body, the lens provides an effective field of view of 75mm.

Nikon F90X, AF Nikkor 50mm 1:1.8 D

The Nikon F90X, or N90s in the US, is often mentioned as the best and most expensive amateur 35mm SLR of all time, a spec sheet that nearly matches the F4 in capability. When compared to the F4, for example, the F90X has a faster and better autofocus mechanism, is lighter in weight, has a more sophisticated matrix metering, and, of course, is a lot cheaper. The F90X was replaced by the F100 in 1999.
