Canon lens for Nikon?
Is there any way I can use this lens:

with a Nikon 5200
I can't seem to find another lens with that quality for as inexpensive.
If any of you know a Nikon lens similar for around the same price?
$135 for a AF Nikkor 50mm f/1.8D.

If you have Nikon camera you should use Nikon lens.
Even if you could, you'd lose autofocus and metering.
That's one of the perils of buying Nikon - you pay through the nose for AF-S (having bought a cheap body with no motor), or you go cheap and lose features ( the 50mm f1.8D won't allow autofocus, a manual 50mm will cost you both AF and metering).
The canon EOS mount is wider than the Nikon F mount. There's no adapter to put a Canon lens on a Nikon DSLR body.
Never a good idea to "try" to mix brands. Even if an "adaptor" exists, and even if the lens plus adaptor is cheaper than a comparable Nikor 50mm f1.8 (which I very much doubt) the combination will not work nearly as well as if you buy a Nikor 50mm f1.8.
You have a Nikon - buy lenses made specifically for Nikon. There may be independent brand lenses of that spec to fit Nikon, e.g. Tamron, Sigma, Tokina.
Or change camera brand to Canon if you are desperate to use that particular Canon lens. But that will cost you a lot more.
Don't bother.
The adapter will disable all automatic functions. Just get the Nikon version.
What quality are you talking about? Photo quality? That depends on you. Build quality? Nikon makes great lenses too. I have a 50mm f/1.8 D that was used in full manual mode for more than a decade on a Nikorex before landing on my son's D50.
- Which camera should i choose? (Nikon D5100, Canon 60D, Canon 600D, or Canon 650D)?
- Got a new Canon 70D with 18.135mm kit lens. Is a 35mm 14 L lens a worthy second lens?
- Can any canon lens fit on any canon camera?
- Will a CANON 35-80MM F4-5.6 lens fit the Canon Rebel XT?
- MEGLIO CANON NIKON D80 O CANON 1100D / nikon d3100?
