Happy to report I bought the 50mm 1.8G today. :D

Came home, unpacked it and set to work on the Christmas lights the day before we'll be taking them down. Think I've got my first image for my 52 in 2016, which I will upload tomorrow night.

Gosh, compared to my 18-200 even the very first slightly out-of-focus shot I took is full of detail. Textures of fir needles and tinsel just beautiful. And the bokeh - wow! (Bit spoilt starting with coloured Christmas lights but it is the tail-end of the season, so why not?)

And to those who said 'go for 35mm' (on the DX body) - I was already squeezed between the sofa and the tripod to shoot objects on the mantelpiece. ;)

Cheers

I'm just hoping that Nikon decides it's time to release a modernized 50mm F/1.2 prime lens some time fairly soon. The current offering looks like it was designed in the 70s and while I'm sure it's quite a good lens, if I could specify a 50mm prime for me to use it would be an AF-S Nikkor 50mm 1:1.2 N ED G VRII. At the very least I'd want autofocus. A thorougly modern lens for modern DSLRs.
