lucky

 

i'm sure youll love it.

 

really lucky... I want one too!

 

Awesome! I really want one of these, but I think I'm gonna save and get the AF-S version that nikon is going to put out soon. I don't mind manual focus for some things, but I think it'd drive me crazy having to do it ALL the time on my D40.

Congrats!

 

Can I ask a stupid question? What exactly is "Nifty 50"

I have a 50mm lens on my Cannon. Is this the same thing? What is so special about this lens?

 

Nifty Fifty is the term used typically for both Canon and Nikon's 50mm 1.8 lens.

The reason its nifty is because of the price vs picture quality / aperture size.

 

i just picked it up, but now i cant play with it, i have a meeting... booo

 

Gotchya! Maybe I'll try it one day! I inherited this camera so pardon my lack of knowledge on the subject.

 

im loving this lens

 

why are people jealous, its so cheap. Learn to save up your cash people XD.

 

lol ya its like the most affordable lens out there
