Thanks for that 68lbs - there is so much literature about it's good to have a recommendation - I will have look at that one and put it on my wish list!

Thanks for that everyone -that's been really useful - off I go shopping tomorrow! Hope to post some shots when we get back!

Just wondering what memory cards you take with you on holiday? We are going away this weekend for 2 weeks with family and I only have a 2GB one, which now I have started using RAW won't hold enough on that memory card. Am I better off getting a 4MB or another 2GB (or 2 more even!)?

Thanks mattyh - my knowledge of the English language is not so great after all!! Or maybe it's coming from Wigan that does it! Ha ha!!

Wow! thats fqantastic - i have just made my mind up about the lens I am getting so I am not changing my mind again! (Or am I?)!!

You are right dizzledazzle think I have just decided to get the f1.8, at that price I can also get the tripod I want fo rthe price of the f1.4. I can then save for my next purchase of the Sigma 10-20! Sometimes we just want to rush in and get everything at once don't we! I am in the early stages...

Having looked at that link I think I am getting confused - I have been looking at getting the Nikon f1.4 50mm - is that not a nifty fifty as well as the f1.8? And can anyone show me shots taken with the 1.4?

Thanks for that admirable!! Will have a browse.

Thought I'd take the bait and follow on from visualisetheworld's thread!! :D Sorry to be predictable but someone had to do it! I'm looking at both the 10-20 and nifty fifty and would love to see some nifty shots that you have taken! Thanks!

Oh no! I have been looking at getting a nifty fifty but the guy in Wildings showed me this lens too, now I have seen these shots I am being pulled to this one - damn expensive hobby this! Stylgeo - I love those shots, I wanted the nifty for portraits but the 10-20 just gives it something extra!

Thanks for that Theory - bit confused though - what is a damped lens? I am new to photograohy and just when I think I have learned something, something else crops up to baffle me!:thinking: (Just for the record I'm a girlie!!). Thanks again will look at the Voiglander.

Thanks now you've cleared that up for me I can get on with getting my hands on one!

I am looking at the 50mm f1.4 to use with my Nikon D40, I have heard lots of good things about this lens on TP even when you need to manually focus on the D40. However I have just read an article (it was on some American website) that manually focusing with the D40 is really tricky and should be...

Great stuff - will post some shots when I get one.

Thanks for that Theory and everyone else! I went to look at the fifty today and the guy in the shop also showed me a Sigma 12-20 as I had mentioned landscapes. It looked pretty good but it is the fifty that I want first (we can't have everything can we?) - also need to look more at the sigmas as...
