omg. you have no idea. I have wanted one for so long now. I've had my eye on a couple of lenses for a while but knew deep down that my first one had to be the 50mm. I keep telling ward, I love this lens... I love this lens.... I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS LENS. so, to answer your question, yes.

this is beautiful!
can i ask how you feel about not being able to autofocus the 50mm 1.8 on a d40?
i have a d40 and this lens and sometimes it bothers me that i can't autofocus. i'd like to hear your perspective :)
but i admit this lens is a gem!

thanks, all!

redrobinland, I'm sort of mixed about it... I mean, on the one hand, I tend to manually focus most of the time anyway... though I do find this to be a bit trickier with the 50mm lens. I don't know if my eyes are going or what. and sometimes I think something is in focus only to discover it's not once I've uploaded it. which is a bit frustrating. but I love the lens, I really really do. totally worth the extra effort. an auto-focus option sure would be nice, though. :)

i have a d80 and the 50mm 1.8 and there are many times with the autofocus that i think it's in focus and when i upload it it definitely is NOT. sometimes i wish i'd gotten the 1.4, but that wasn't in my budget (i wanted the lens n.o.w.). or maybe it's just me - my eyes are definitely going.

anyway, lovely photo. that dress is as perfect as it gets.

Great shot. Amazing light.

wrt focusing -- I wonder if part of the issue has to do with getting used to the very narrow depth of field at the larger apertures of which this lens is capable. Through the viewfinder, maybe you think you've got the eyes in focus, but you look at it later and realize that you've gotten the tip of the nose in perfect focus, but the eyes are a little blurry.

it's my favorite lens, too ;) I haven't used a different lens for MONTHS now, I'm such a snob.

miss hannah, I did! I did! I'm in love.

jeremy, you're absolutely right. loving the wide aperture but my eyes are definitely in the process of adjusting.

young@art, I can totally see that. nothing but love for the 50.
