[QUOTE="wornish, post: 205680, member: 15434"] Considering these are your first pictures with the lens, and handheld I think these are pretty good. If you try a little sharpening they will improve. I used Lightroom on your 100% crop here, maybe overdone it a little but you can see more detail. [ATTACH type="full" width="60%"]55111._xfImport[/ATTACH] There is a good review of the lens with image samples here. [url=http://photographylife.com/reviews/nikon-50mm-f1-8g]Nikon 50mm f/1.8G Review[/url] If you look at the sharpness section you can see the lens is sharpest between f/4 and f/8. Back to my original comments try it on a tripod in good light and I think you will be pleasantly surprised. Using hand held then up the ISO to get a faster shutter speed I try to use 1/500th or more as I have shaky hands . And for birds or fast moving objects 1/2000th ! Good luck and enjoy the lens.
