[QUOTE="evisphoto, post: 40684, member: 1039"] Yes, if you did focus at f1.8, Like Bill said, D.O.F. is very shallow and focusing is very, very critical. Another problem is the focusing screen on most Dslr's is not optimized for manual focusing. Back in the film days, we had the split prism on the focus screen to aid us. But, since it's assumed you will be using autofocus, which of course, the 50 1.8D wont do with the D5000, the focusing aid is not there. Manual focusing is possible, just be patient and practice.
