AF-S Nikkor 50/1.4G...el cheapo...

Yup, it is all plastic inside...not convincing. And, repair is a nightmare because the plastic gets statically charged so easily it acts as the worlds most eager dust magnet.

A crappy lens, but it was my workhorse on the D3 anyway.

I shot it to death then sold it for more or less what I paid for it and got the 1.8/50G, which is much better optically.

Currently I am contemplating to buy the 1.4/58G which is from another Planet of build quality. Optically it has a very interesting character, but I am not yet in love with it.
You are out there. You and your camera. You can shoot or not shoot as you please. Discover the world, Your world. Show it to us. Or we might never see it.
