[QUOTE="Whiskeyman, post: 189293, member: 13556"] If you live near a camera shop with one, or know someone with a manual focus Nikkor lens, visit with your camera and a memory card and take some photos using manual focus. Take the card home and view the photos on your computer. You'll likely find that manual focusing isn't very easy, and that a manual focus lens leads to a lot of out of focus shots you'll discard, wishing you hadn't missed the shot. As your daughter grows and becomes mobile, you'll appreciate the auto-focus function even more. If it were me, I'd skip the manual focus lens and go ahead and buy the AF-S Nikkor 50 mm 1.8 G. (It's one of the lenses that I already own.) Good fortune with your decision. WM [/QUOTE]
