Several months ago I purchased a Nikon Nikkor 50mm f1.4 lens. Now this may mean nothing to you. But don't feel bad. Although I knew Nikon was one of - if not the best lens maker in the world, and I understood the significance of the numbers imprinted on the barrel, I was totally in the dark as to the true implications of this purchase.
I teach basic digital photography. And during class time it is stressed that a clean lens is as important as the mega pixels (after all, taking a picture with a higher mega pixel camera and a dirty lens is only a great picture of dirt!). What has become clear to me since my little $200 arrival is that the speed and quality of the glass is equally critical to taking clear, crisp photographs. And again, while you may not understand the terms, you can certainly see the quality this addition to my camera bag brings to a picture.
Here are several photographs from my new Spring Collection:
