new lens excitement
I got a new lens today! It's the new 50mm f/1.8 AF-S lens from Nikon (the AF-S is the key part so that the lens will autofocus on my D5100). I'm not sure if I love it yet (the lens, I mean, the camera I am head over heels in love with). The 50mm kinda feels too "zoomy-inny" (yes, it's a word) compared to my 35mm, so I feel like I need to take a step back so I can get more in the picture.

I have a 50mm 1.8 and I do feel like it is very zoomy-inny. I love it but have been wanting to get a lens where I don't have to back up as much.
ReplyDeleteRach, I love this shot. Did you know that on a non-full-frame DSLR, this 50mm lens acts more like a 75mm lens? Which will make it feel more zoomy. Your 35mm will approximate a 50mm. It has to do with the smaller sensor size of your camera.
ReplyDeleteGood link to explain:

Love my 50mm..... except when i'm inside!
ReplyDeleteI have a 50 mm for Canon and I know exactly what you are saying. It requires me to move a lot to get a good shot but, since it was all I had I got used to it and love it especially for outdoor portraits and indoor dark sessions when I need to suck in as much light as possible. If I had a 35mm I would like that range better!
ReplyDeleteI have nothing to add about your lens because i am clueless :-) but i love this shot. It looks like Charlie is praying. :-)
ReplyDeleteSkull and bones! Oh my how cute!
ReplyDeleteI have the Nikon 35mm 1.8 and was thinking of getting the 55mm 1.4 for my next lens.. but I can't decide on that (do I need another prime) or a zoom lens like a 28-75mm. I'm a little worried it will be, like you said, too "zoomy- inny" ;) So I like your thoughts on it..
ReplyDeleteI love getting new toys! Have fun with it! Great shot by the way! I love my little one's expression every time her daddy gets home!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean. I use it for portraits but walk around I use my 17-70.
ReplyDeleteI agree...I feel like you have to stand a mile away when I use my 50mm/1.8 on my Canon (not good in a tiny house). Plus the images are ultra soft at 1.8. But your pictures is adorable :)
ReplyDeleteI have a 35 mm/1.8. I love it. But I have the opposite problem. I like closeups so when I use this lens, and I always do indoors, I feel like I am constantly having to move in close, but maybe that's better than having to back up because you can always run out of room. I would like to have both actually. Yes, I love camera toys! I just wish everything wasn't so expensive! Have fun and enjoy!
ReplyDeleteGreat shot! I am on the lookout for a 50mm as well. looks like it takes great shots.
ReplyDeletesuch a cutie face! :)

I know what you mean about it being a little close. I loved it for the first few months that I had it (but I only had kit lens to compare it to). Now I'm wanting the 35mm. I've found myself switching back to my kit to get that wide angle view. I got tired of all my pictures having that same cropped in look. However, you'll get some awesome pictures outside with awesome bokeh. :)
ReplyDelete'daddys home' is priceless!
