Nikkor 50mm F1.8

I am very tempted to get this lens. It's compact and should make a good companion in the upcoming holiday trip. Just as I was contemplating, CP decided to buy it for me, as my birthday gift! Alright, no problem with me. So another lens to my collection - the Nikon 50mm F1.8.

Haha, it's not a baby but ... I finally couldn't resist the urge ... shelled out $710 inclusive of filter for the Tamron 17-50mm F2.8 lens! Well, gotta settle for 3rd-party lens instead of Nikon. The original is too expensive. Some self-consolation, at least this is lighter than the Nikon 17-55mm F2.8 lens.



So that makes 5 lenses in the family.



1. Nikon AF-S 18-135mm F3.5-5.6 DX
Nikon D80 kit lens, very perfect for travel due to its versatile range.

2. Tamron AF 17-50mm F2.8
Constant F2.8 aperture, value for money, good alternative to Nikon 17-55mm F2.8. Doesn't not suffer from the peeling problem affecting Sigma EX lenses

3. Sigma 70-300mm F4-5.6 APO DG Macro
Telephoto lens, rather slow. Able to take macro at 1:2 magnification

4. Nikon AF-D 85mm F1.8
Superb lens for portraits. Good bokeh.

6. Tamron AF 90mm F2.8
Fantastic dedicated macro lens. 1:1 magnification.
