    Nikon 50mm 1.4 - D AF or AF-s G

    What are the main differences with this lens? I see the AF-S looks to be a better build quality but what else does it have above the older version? I'm looking for it for my d90 so want to know if it worth the extra £50 or so to get the latest version.

    Raynox 250 HELP

    The unluckiest photographer in the country?

    I wonder did he drink the cans of coke as well the greedy so and so. Just shows how stupid some people are. To try it once is a joke, but you have the chance of getting away with it. To try it twice shows they somehow missed out on evolution. People need to realise similar companies may share...

    bloody camera shop sales assistants

    The exact same guy i dealt with when purchasing my d3000. An absolute gent and i was in the shop for about 45 minutes discussing things with him, he was really clued up and friendly.
