    .... that is the Nifty Fifty Club. :D


    Today while doing Gallery Duty I popped down to Gunn's & bought a Nikon 50mm f1.8.

    I was served by John Gunn himself & he kept thanking me for shopping there. He really knows the meaning of service. It was a pleasure to buy it there.

    I picked up my D70S in town & shot a few pics on the way home.

    Looking forward to using it more now.

    The Nifty Fifty rocks!

    I've recently been using my nifty fifty more than ever now.
    Before i only used it for few very specific instances like in low light or where i wanted something with a narrow dof.

    But now i've been going into town with just than one lens alone. Its a brilliant lens! There's a lot you can do with it and i've only started discovering it!

    The door has actually been re-opened. I do have some nice prime glass in storage in Australia. A very sharp 135mm, a 50mm & a 200mm. All completely manual.

    It was €116 & I think it may have been the last one in stock.

    T'is the best lens I own! :pac:
    Great for gigs especially - But I've often wondered is the extra e550 worth it for the 70mm f1.8?
