Earlier this week, I won an eBay auction for a Nikon 50mm 1.8 AF lens. I decided to go this route to force me to end my dependence on telephoto lens and in turn improve my photographic skills.
I spent a good 3 hours playing with it today, taking notes and trying it out on my Nikon D40, D50, and D300 bodies. I found out that the autofocus will not work on the D40. Other than that, I was impressed.
I’m considering what lens should be next. My current lens inventory consists of the following:
- Nikon 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6
- Nikon 50mm f/1.8 AF
- Nikon 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 VR
I think I have the 18mm to 200mm range covered. Perhaps its time to pick up something to cover up to 300mm and possibly 400mm. Either of those ranges would be great during the summer at the lake!
Till next time,
Mr E
