[QUOTE="max50011, post: 173432, member: 14773"] Hey guys, Im still really noobish at photography but slowly learning, i recently purchased a nikkor 50mm 1.8G and from what i read since it is a fx lens and my camera is a dx the frame is effectively a 75mm right? from my understanding as well a 50mm is supposed to have a wide viewing angle (which I'm assuming means you can get a lot of what you see with your eye in the photo) but when i take photos i find that i can't fit much in the photo, for example if i want a photo of a whole person i have to stand relatively far away, and i was also trying to take a photo of a building but i had trouble getting the whole building in from where i was standing so i had to switch to my kit lens. I understand since its a fixed length away i really gotta use my feet but i find my self having to move more than i few steps. i had to clear some room off my memory card so the photos i tried hadn't survived, and the lens is really great for taking portrait or face shots, but i read a lot of people saying how a 50mm is such a great lens to always have on your camera and they use it all the time, i got the sense that it was quite versatile in that i could use it for almost everything, but im not sure if thats the case or if i just haven't learnt it well enough. Sorry if i rambled a bit, just though it was worth getting everyones 2 cents. any constructive criticism is welcome Thanks guys [/QUOTE]
