    Great Christmas Presents for Photography loving Guys Since I am a photography loving guy myself, this is partly my own wish list. I will classify myself as a relatively skeptical and critical person. This list is for the slightly geeky type that enjoys nostalgic retro stuff and photography gadgets. This post I presume is for the [...] […]

  • LensBaby – More than just for fun
    Lensbaby images sell!… If you can get them online. That’s the tricky part. I simply love shooting with my lensbaby and actually have four of them. One for Nikon and three for my Canon.

Nikon Normal AF Nikkor 50mm f/1.8D Autofocus Lens

Written by astoner on 06 March 2008

I recently bought a new lens for my Nikon D80 which I’m hoping will aid in me getting more pictures accepted at the microstock websites I submit to. Nikon 50 mm lensIt’s the Nikon Normal AF Nikkor 50mm f/1.8D Autofocus Lens. I’ve only had it about a week and so far I love being able to get good shots in the lower with the the aperture of 1.8, my other lens has a minimum aperture in the 3.4 range.

I haven’t had the opportunity to use it for much other than a couple quick snapshots. I’m hoping to try it with my light tent soon to see if I can improve on my isolation shots for the microstock sites.  Everything I’ve read about this lens says it is one that needs to be in every camera bag, unless it’s on the camera.  The sneaker zoom will take some getting used to since I’m used to the zoom telephoto 18mm – 135mm kit lens I got with the camera.

Check back soon to see some of the photos taken with the lens.
