50mm f1.8 AF

And now for some colours

The mango tree in my backyard has started flowering. Here are images of the flowers. The flowers are very small so you have to look keenly to get them


Full Frame

100%. Note that even at F4 there is a very narrow DOF

I caught ant and bee on the lime tree flowers in my back yard. As my hands shake and there was a slight breeze, I used flash to "freeze" the action.








Flower bud - no bugs

Nice and some good bokeh there too.

This lense is definitely sharper than the 35mm F1.8 DX

In these photos, I was aiming primarily for details. As my hands shake, I am try out various options for getting razor sharp details. Till now the flash has helped in "freezing" the motion of both my hands and the wind.

An interesting flower. Can some body identify it?

i just ordered this from Amazon..
50mm

my D5100 is listed as a DX type camera but the lens is a FX type. Amazon seems to think it will work just fine with my camera but the i wanted to verify that as well as to ask what is the difference between DX and FX?

The FX lens's image circle covers the 36mm x 24mm of the FX sensor. The DX lens's image circle covers the 24mm x 18mm of the DX sensor.

All FX lenses work perfectly with DX sensors. In contrast the image circle of a DX lense is smaller than the FX sensor, so you will get vignetting - light fall off at the corners if you use the DX lense with FX sensor. How much depends on the lense and the focal length.

thx.. am excited about this purchase - a very good prime lens for little money and the first i bought that didn't come with the camera. next up, the 18-140mm..

I am getting hooked on to AF, so avoiding using this lense as it is MF in my D3300. After taking a few shots with the 35mm F1.8, I realised that for these shots
a) MF would be better
b) The 50mm has better contrast




this is with the 35mm

50mm 1.8D is also my favourite lens in my collection. nice shots, however there is already a thread going "post your 50mm 1.8D shots"
