I was not aware that they made lenses. In your other thread, you are asking about portraiture, so why the 50mm? You've already got the 50mm focal length covered with your 18-55mm zoom.

How much room do you have for a studio? A longer lens would be a better choice for portraiture, but a longer lens also means you'll have to back away from your model to get her or him all in the frame.

I knew they made a Canon 50mm "replica" lens, wasn't ware they came out with a Nikon yet.

The nikon 50mm 1.8G is cheap and GOOD enough. not sure why you'd want to go Youngnuo.

The Canon 50mm on the other hand is cheap and not that great.

Here's a review of the lens: Yongnuo YN 50 mm f/1.8 review - Introduction - LensTip.com

I think the Nikon 50mm f1.8G is a great lens as is the Nikon 50mm f1.4G. Both would be great portrait lenses on a DX body. I prefer the bokeh on the f1.4G.

That review is for the Canon lens. Where's this supposed Nikon one?

They don't even make it yet!

Just get the 50 1.8G from Nikon, you can find it on eBay in like new condition for CHEAP.

If your camera has a AF motor, you can get the older 50 1.8D which they still make for even CHEAPER.

In my opinion, just get the 50 1.8G, its good.

I'll sell you my 50mm 1.8G. I dont really ever use it.

I figured if I got a nifty 50 that I could work more with the Dof since it has wider apertures

I see you have the D7100. Seriously, just grab the 50 1.8 AF-D. Its Nikon's nifty fifty its cheap and good.

True, you can play with the DOF, but frankly, portraiture in a studio has very little use for a thin DOF.

A thin DOF would be helpful if you are outside and want to blur out the background, but in the studio you will probably have a seamless backdrop, so no real need to blur the background.

Good looking out, I didnt think about that

Yup. Keep the goal in mind, work toward the goal. The only lens you don't have right now is something longer, like an 85mm.

The Nikon AF 50mm 1.8D rocks...
