My Nikon 50mm AF f1.4D lens should be arriving via UPS anytime now. I’ve gotten into more serious hobby photography ever since I purchased my Nikon D80 DSLR. Its my hope to be able to take pictures in low light situations without the need of a flash. Lots of places prohibit flashes and even when they dont it can be a nuisance to others. My need for this type of lens cam about at a friends recent birthday party. It was at night with everyone gathered around a fire pit in the backyard. Without using flash, eliminating the natural fire light ambience or a tripod, which I didnt have with me, I was unable to capture the scene as I had wanted. With this lens I dont think there would have been any problems in getting great pictures lit only by the flickering flames of the fire.
