Nikon 50mm f/1.8G AF-S FX Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras -Pre Order

  Nikon has announced the Nikon 50mm f/1.8G AF-S DX Lens #2199 and its available to pre-order from Amazon.com and Adorama. I don’t need to rehash what Nikons press release thoroughly covers.

As an example I was taking pictures of some fishing rods and I had to move the tripod into the bathroom to get enough distance to get the rod completely in the lens. So after a bit of research I decided to try another inexpensive Canon lens. This Continue ReadingCanon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Autofocus Lens Preview Mfr# 2042B002
