I recently got a check in the mail from a matured bond ($360 and I can go slightly over), I've already budgeted well so I've got a bit of a windfall to spend on a cheap lens. I was thinking of getting either the Lensbaby Composer (sticking with the included double-glass optic for then and there but eventually probably getting the single glass and maybe some of the converters down the line) or the Nikkor 50mm f/1.4, both priced around $270. But, I also need to pick up a flash, so the SB-600 is on my list as well.
Coming from a Nikon D80, Nikon F100 (mostly for film classes), flimsy Tamrom 28-80 f/3.5, Nikon 50mm f/1.8 (glass is fine but the filter ring is broken, repairs are too expensive considering the cost of a new lens), kit lens 18-135 f/3.5 DX, 55-200 VR f/3.5 DX. Ergo, I'm wondering if a 50mm f/1.4 is rather redundant, or if I should go with a Lensbaby when the Lensbaby site says that autometering does not work with a Lensbaby on a D80.
Thoughts, comments, alternatives to get/save up for?
