gdizzle Posted May 22, 2014 Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 I meant what I said, sorry if I didn't clarify that I was talking about a 50 mm lens. I wouldn't bother with a 35 mm but I know why people with DXs buy that lens. http://www.adorama.com/NK5014AFDU.html Mixed up the letters F/1.4D AF You didn't specify 50mm. He was talking about the 35, you suggested the afd version, which would lead one to think you're talking about a 35mm 1.4 AFD, which has never been produced. Just saying "get the nikkor afd 1.4" could be referring to more than just the 50mm. As for the 50 1.4 afd, it's a great lens, but it's a little slow in focusing and as they wear from usage, can get clunky and noisy (I own one and use the shit out of it).

Burn-E Posted May 22, 2014 Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 All true. I intended to put a link on my original post and got distracted. The bokeh is splendid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBoy8 Posted May 22, 2014 Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 What better way to learn photography then to have 1 lens with 1 focal length, limiting your options and making you think more about your composition. need to get wider, take a step back. Need to zoom in, take a step forward. It's very simple. Plus, they're tack sharp and cheap. I recently picked up a Nikkor AF-S DX 35mm F1.8 lens and only really started using it at Carlisle. Your point is something I faced over the weekend. I'd see a nice car, "Oh sweet, I'll take a picture!", go to take it and the middle of the car would be taking up the whole view. lol Starting to get used to it though, and I'm really enjoying it!

ErikS Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 did you do any post on those? No, they are all unprocessed. The Ricoh WG-4 came with software, but I brought my work computer. I am sure they could be cleaned up quite a bit. This was the best day in terms of the murky water here in Bermuda, anything shallow you need the water completely still for clear pictures in the 10-20 ft depth range.

ErikS Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 Had three juvenile yellow crested night herons trying to hunt my shark thermometer in my pool today. Got a good long distance pic of one before they flew off. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBoy8 Posted August 15, 2014 Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 This was taken a few years ago, but I recently touched it up. I've had a few decent photos from the past, and am finally practising touching them up, along with anything new, in Photoshop. I may give Lightroom a try sometime. And in case any of you are wondering, no sea snails were harmed during this shoot . We put the little guy back down after the picture.
