AF Nikkor 50mm f/1.8D


Title says it all. Its my very first lens purchase!

Bought it for RM360 at J-One which I booked and waited for a week or so. Can't really blame anyone since its selling like hotcakes. Cheapest Nikon lens and rated as one of the few sharpest lens.

I can't really tell how sharp it is until I bring it out for field test.


Both taken at max aperture of 1.8. Looks pretty sharp to me.
Btw, there's barely anything nice to be photographed in my room. Even the lil koala fella are kinda covered with dust.

But the depth of field/bokeh is amazing :D

-Enabling Electronic Rangefinder in D60 for Manual Focus-
This took me quite a while to figure it out k. This is a feature in D60's cam where the electronic rangefinder will take over the exposure bar and tells you how far/near you are focused.

1. Setup menu > CSM/Setup menu> Choose 'Full'
2. Custom Settings Menu > Go to no. 19 and just choose yes for 'Rangefinder'.

Thats it!
So now on ur viewfinder, you will still see the indicator bar somethin like <........0........>
When its focused, it will be shown as <.......| 0 | .......>, not the exact 'illustration' but you'll get the drift of it.
