Woop!! I'm happy.. Mother's Day gift to me... I don't get jewelry anymore I get Nikon equipment.
Nikon 50mm f/1.8G AF-S NIKKOR FX Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras
That one..
Wow really cool so I guess that makes a wide angle lens not so necessary.. I was thinking about getting this next. Tokina AT-X116PRDXN AT-X PRO DX 11-16mm Ultra-wide Angle Lens for Nikon
.. But maybe not if I can do all that with the 50mm
Nikon 50mm f/1.8G AF-S NIKKOR FX Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras
That one..
Well the 50mm f/1.8G on a DX camera will give you a FOV of about 75mm of the FX , so great for portraits and just a great all-round lens really! and if and when you upgrade to an FX you go out and get the 85mm f/1.8G or 85mm f/1.4D the latter being the cream machine !I may never be able to keep this straight -- I'm confused everybody. If Tammy is shooting with a D5100, wouldn't a DX-format lens be a better match? I ask because I may seek a prime lens someday, but probably a 35mm to replicate the as-I-see-it 50mm view I had with my film SLR. Thanks for clearing up my confusion.
