Guess I should show what my new lens looks like. :) It's much smaller than the kit lens that came with my camera. But this bad boy is "fast", which essentially means that you can take much better pictures in low light conditions! That comes in real handy when your photographing in the house with just the lighting of lamps and overhead lights. This is a Nikkor 50mm f/1.8d lens, it's a prime lens which means it has a fixed focal length of 50mm. Basically no zoom, you zoom by moving your feet! :) The only downside to this lens is it doesn't autofocus on my camera - Nikon D40. No big deal just have to do it manually, and shoot off several pics at the same time to make sure I'm in focus :) Love digital, not wasting "film" by rapid firing shots. :) All for now, I'm sure I'll have more pictures to share later! FLIP!
