Official 50mm Lens Thread (For All DISers!)

Your daughter is beautiful and you are so lucky to have such a willing participant! So what is your new toy; inquiring minds want to know...

Oh its an older model zoom Nikkor 80-200mm f/4.5 so nothing too special but something for me to get a feel for the longer focal lengths. It was $149 and I figure I can determine what focal length will be my next purchase. So far I figure the 135mm f/2 DC I've been drooling over probably won't work to well in my "space". I still think it'd be wonderful outdoors or if I could get more space. This is my first time really playing with zoom. I don't hardly ever use my kit.

She is quite willing, usually. Getting her to look at the camera can be tricky and tiresome. The guy in the camera shop was watching me sample the lens and I said see she's used to me having a camera in her face as she stood against a muslin backdrop they had hanging up. She knew right where to go. LOL

Today they were removing the Battle of 1811 Canons from the Stoney Creek Epitaph, I took the liberty of taking a few snapshots and practicing with my Pentax A 50mm f1.7

Canon T1i - 50mm F1.8

I LOVE this. I come home to my dog looking at me with that same face every once in a while (most recently a Victoria's Secret catalog - naughty pup).

I LOVE this. I come home to my dog looking at me with that same face every once in a while (most recently a Victoria's Secret catalog - naughty pup).

Actually - this was one of her toys.. I'm not sure why the face... It just ended up perfect overall. In general - she's cute and knows it.. If she thought I was really mad at her - she gets very submissive and would probably have rolled over.

But this is why I love this lens - you can catch stuff nice w/o the flash!

I recently got my 50mm f/2 and haven't used it much, but here are a couple of examples.

DD's two dogs.

It's supposed to be a great macro lens, so I tried it out on an orchid.

50mm f1.7 1/30 ISO 400, I was playing with a couple of macro lense filters I got with an old SLR I bought... thought the result was pretty cool. Zoom in at 100% and I can make myself and my DW in the reflection!
