woah. lol.:thumbsup: :thumbsup: that was really hefty for me to digest. i will probably have to read up more on them. hmm i was reading abt canon d400's review on some website which i forgot where and what? but they were saying that canon's 18 55 mm lens isnt as fantastic as everyone expected it to be?
hmm is that what you were trying to say your 50mm lens? i didnt get you there. which brand are you talking abt for the 50mm f1.8 !
Both canon and nikon have 50mm F1.8. Both are priced around $180.
Other than tt, If you are getting the D40, I think u cant use the 50mm f1.8.
Since its at 50mm, if you are taking pictures for a group. Eg. 8 ppl side by side..
you may have to start say.. 4-5m away. Tt's its quite far away... and it looks quite foolish to ppl who do not know wat is the contrain. Furthermore, at times, u might be restrained by space.
50mm is a lens with a fixed focal length.. means u have to move urself instead of the lens.
It requires some discipline in a sense.
Hope this explains.
