The standard lens is good enough to take a few shots of nekkid Amreekan vimen, right?

Congrats Grun!

How much does a camera like that one cost? I'd love to get a nice camera like that.

Well, there go my hopes..........for now. Is it a digital?

I bought the Nikkor 50mm 1.8D today. This photo was taken just after buying it:



1/160, f/8.


For just 90-100$ you get one of the sharpest lenses available today, so go to your nearest shop and buy one, NOW ;)


I'm also thinking about buying the Sigma 70-200 f/2.8, anyone tried one of those?
