hint: 50mm 1.8D
Don't know what might be wrong, which is a fair indication of my knowledge of photography.
If you’re like me, you probably started with a kit lens in a bundle, like the 18-55mm f/3.5-6.3 (or something similar).
No matter what brand you shoot with, the “nifty 50” for your camera is realistically the first lens everyone should pick up. Why? it’s one of the best lenses you can get for under $150! And when paired on a crop sensor camera it’ll give you something closer to an 85mm field of view (an awesome focal length for portraits).
Cons
Not as sharp as the 1.4 version or the 1.8G
Not as much bokeh as the pricier 1.4 version or the 1.8G
Can be hard to get used to on a crop sensor
Crop bodies can have problems with the Autofocus so you be manually focusing
Doesn’t perform well on Full Frame cameras
Good job Cindy, I missed those.
Or am I totally confused... Is he talking about a Nikon 50mm f/1.8D? Because that's an FX lens. Using a DX lens on a full-frame system creates vignetting...... whereas the D/ED versions ... when mounted on a full frame system will often either not work properly or leave you with a strange blacked out border unless you set your camera to auto detect and adjust for the DX crop lens.
