[QUOTE="Sashina, post: 521709, member: 41067"] 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 [URL="http://nikonites.com/project-52-s/34708-sashinas-52-2016-a.html#axzz3wPih2fjX"]52 in 2016[/URL], 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 Sashina [/QUOTE]
