So now that my camera can use lenses other than the expensive AF-S lenses, i picked up a dirt cheap 50mm f/1.8 on craigslist. here's a quick shot trying it out. man! i'm loving this fast wide open aperture.

this shot was taken with aquarium lights only and no flash whatsoever

ISO 200
f/1.8
1/125th

i love that lens. i use it more than my 60mm macro. what camera did you pick up?

 

[jcardona1]

yeah its a great lens. Gerry was saying the 60mm f/2.8 is even sharper, but at $80 for this lens, i couldnt go wrong. i picked up Li's old D90

yeee 50mm is nice ^^ i only have two lense n 50mm is one of em. and i rarely touch my other one except when i wanna get a wider shot. which is basically the only thing i hate bout tis 50 mm, it is quite "narrow" .
