Hello everyone

, this is my first time to ever join a forum. Name is Moe, 24 years old living in Dubai, I'm very new to the photography scene

but I've always had a huge interest in photography. just ordered my first DSLR "Nikon D5200" "Hoping it was the right choice" online, 5 days till it arrives and the journey shall begin.

Hoping to learn from you people at TPF. Greetings from Dubai and wishing you all the best.

Thanks man, was a little worried about my camera choice, guess i made the right one after-all. so many posts online suggested getting the Nikon 50mm 1.8 lens saying it's a great lens to start with? what are your thoughts on that?

HitenNainaney · May 31, 2014

As a lens, it's a great piece of glass.

But somehow out of all 3 that I have, 35,50 and 85, I find myself using the 50 the least.

However, I've met many who swear by the 50mm.

It all comes down to the type of pictures you wish to take.
