Go for it dude. Prime lens' are such a joy to use especially for portraits. Tack sharp, great for low light situations, and the bokeh is creamy. Check outsome stuff i took over the holidays. Mind you this is a 50mm f1.8 which is manual focus on a Nikon D40.

damn those pictures are pretty crisp i didnt think you was using a $75 lens. will definitely cop
I never thought I would see the day someone on NT would a: use the term bokeh (like I know what it means but I never use the term myself) and b: call it creamy. that just made my day...
Haha now that you mention it, it does sound funny! Keep the thread going guys.

Heh, finally someone else who uses the 50mm 1.8 on a D40 besides me. You must be really quick with the focus ring, as I find it difficult to catch candids w/o AF.Pretty good shots nonetheless. Anyways,
I've had mine a couple of months and it's just about practice - my first few were a little rough but they're getting better - 'candids' isdifficult though - especially at f/1.8 - the depth of field is so shallow that if they move even a little the picture isn't sharp.

Nah dude. Most of the time, it takes me awhile to get the focus dot to steady. Makes me want to step up to the D80 already just so the prime will autofocus. Ingood lighting or outdoors during the daytime, the 50 is pretty easy to focus. Nice shot of the Z. Handheld or tripod?
I'm looking to buy add on lenses for my G9 and I don't know where to look except ebay. Can someone please recommend a good site/auction for wide and fish eye lenses? I'm not really keen on buying Canon lenses because they can be pricey. What are some good but inexpensive brands I should look at?
I don't think you can change lenses with the G9 bro. The best you can do is probably buy those converter accessories for tele or wide angle. You might wantto step up to a dslr (400d) if you want to have different lenses. You can go to the Canon Dzone stores in the malls in manila if you're here.
That camera just takes lens converters. Kind of like Mamiya C330 where you can mount various lenses on top of the hard mounted lens, you probablyhave no idea what Mamiya C330 is but nonetheless. You need this lens adapter to mount any lens converter.Originally Posted by kingcrux31
I recently purchased a Canon G9 and don't know jack about cameras. I've stuck with the Powershot line ever since the first digital camera I bought which was a S40 back in 2003, then a S70 back in 2005.
