Wrote a small review on the Nifty Fifty and tried to discuss just why this lens is such a market favourite.. http://itschrismilne.wordpress.com/2013/07/30/the-nifty-fifty/

Thanks for the clarification, I had assumed it was part of the D3000/5000 etc; family!

I'm intrigued to hear that AF-D lenses (Nikkor 50mm f/1.8D etc;) work auto focus on the D7000? Is this true?

Because the Sigma I bought of eBay had a focussing issue, and it was just causing me problems.

Brilliant, thank you very much! Indeed it is a bargain, mainly why I'm going for it as I don't really have the money for the 70-200mm f/2.8 VR I/II. Regarding the weight, I've been using a Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 EX DG recently so I would be used to the weight. Thank you very much, Chris

I might have already purchased by then, but thanks anyway!

Thanks for that :)! Have you got a Flickr or something with any of these photos, I'd love to see them.

Yes Steve. :)

I'm looking at using one of these on a Nikon D90, has anyone got any stories, experience with this lens or lens & body combo? If so, if you could share some examples that would be very much appreciated! Regards, Chris

Welcome mate, I'm also from the North East. :D

As much as it's more money to spend, it's a very good lens and I did get it at a very good price so I might go for this option.

Well, I bought a Sigma 70-200mm f2.8 off ebay, but when I was taking photos yesterday it wasn't focusing right unless I used it on manual. What would be the cheapest way to get this sorted (bearing in mind it was no returns accepted, I'll try that though.) Chris.

Got to agree, loads of superb tunes from InnerPartySystem.. The Way We Move, Don't Stop etc; Linkin Park and Muse I like quite a bit aswell Pink Floyd are fantastic, you can never be too young to appreciate them! :D My favourites are Pendulum, Calvin Harris, The Editors, Lostprophets...

Thanks guys, Simon, I had a look but couldn't find it! Any chance you could find it and link, would be very grateful!

Hi guys, still on the prowl for one of these. Just wondering what the lens is like with the 1.4x and 2.0x converters? Especially grateful for anyone with photos taken with the above! Chris.
