Nikon Nikkor 50mm 1.8f Lens
I took over 200 photos last night with my Nikon D40 after this new 50mm lens arrived. Many people wrote how it adds clarity, the ability to shoot better in low light ( my favorite) and “bokeh”, of the ability to blur a background.
I must say I am impressed. I must focus this lens manually, it has no zoom, and I set aperture and shutter speed manually. But it is an amazing tool that allows better control over light and depth of field. I am so glad I got it. and it was only $109. It is far better than the 18-55mm “kit lens” that came with the camera.
I found a translator and am excited to send him the interviews and see what develops.
