Mmm, it looks like Christmas might come early for me this year. I had decided that I’d spend some money and get another lens. I set out researching on the net about the Nikkor f1.8/1.4 and a 1.2. I’d love to get a f1.2 but that’s way out of my budget. The f1.4 is about $520 new and the f1.8 is roughly $220ish. I want a faster lens for band and portrait stuff. Tonight I finally won my ebay bid and hopefully I’ll be playing with my new toy before Christmas. Yes I know it’s plastic and newer, but the older metal models are just a bit too much of a gamble when it comes to ebay.
