I ordered my 50mm 1.8 from B&H, everthing i read says it was a no brainer for the price. I can't wait!
Sucks the AF won't work on my D40 :-/ But I figure thats just one more thing to help nudge me into d200/d300 territory :) |

You'll love it even without AF. Wait till you see the DOF range you will get. Try it on a portrait and you'll see great bokeh in the backgrounds.
have fun. |

It's a good thing you put a "gl" in the subject title, otherwise I'd suspect you and (ex)Governor of New York, Eliot Spitzer were in cahoots! LOL!
Anyway, good luck with your new lens!

| LOVE that lens. Picked it up for $140 and I'm hooked on it. It's RAZOR sharp at about f/2.8 and it makes really cool bokeh, especially if you use an extention tube with it. I took this of my own eye and the sharpness and detail (partially because of the HDR) is fantastic. Good luck with it! |

Casey, congrats on the new lens. Unbeatable lens for the price. Here's another sharpness example combining the D300 and the 50mm f/1.8. This is a crop of a photo taken handheld under fluorescent light.
WARNING: this photo contains giant pores, nose hairs, and other sexy details. :-)
Also, to see the crop full-sized (3.3mb), click on the little magnifying glass/"View full-sized image" link to the left of the image. |

I recieved it Saturday, and have had fun playing with it. My first challenge using it is in Environmental portraint.
One thing i learned quick...i simply CANNOT focus properly when i'm wearing my glasses :( Only works with my contacts.
Guess I have to get a new glasses prescription. |
