[QUOTE="bobmielke, post: 45485, member: 8952"] Since I moved to digital photography from the world of 35mm film I've always own a 50mm prime lens. They used to the standar lens for every SLR. I purchased the Nikkor 50mm F/1.4G for a variety of reasons that include video and low light performance. It's also ideal to learn about bokeh in your photos. It's an extremely sharp but definitely [B][U]not[/U][/B] recommended for [B][U]close-up[/U][/B] portraits as all 50mm lenses suffer from barrel distortion that is unflattering in [B][U]cluse-up[/U][/B] portraits.
