Nikon 's Nifty Fifty




Been trying out the Nikon 50mm F1.8 lens - popularly known as the "nifty fifty". It was a bit weird using legs to move backwards and forwards as opposed to zooming in and out of a telephoto lens but the lens is pin sharp and the depth of field it can achieve is great - combined with the D90 with its low noise at high ISO it was terrific for inside churches where flash cannot be used. Loving this lens, it will be great for portrait and close up detail shots. It will be interesting to compare with another lens due for delivery - a sigma 17-50mmm F2.8 which will be great for the wedding work.
