Dear Nasim, I am using D70 and I am having problems with indoor / low-light picture quality.
I have a nephew using D7000 and he gets great indoor / low-light picture quality.
Is this because of the camera or it’s just my camera’s default?

Thank you.

Hi Nassim, I love your work and photography tips. Your tips are very helpful to me. I have a nikon d3100 camera and want to buy a prime lens. I want to be able to use this lens for anything. But I also, prefer one that does well in low light situations. What lens would you recommend that won’t cost a lot of money? ($150 max).
Thanks,
Dave

Hi Nassim,

I just bought a D7000. I bought a kit lens although I know it’s not fantastic quality. I want to invest in a 50mm. I’m hesitating between 1.4 and 1.8. Great difference in price and quality obviously. I used to have the 1.8. I shot some decent pics with it in Costa Rica. I had no macro so I used it as one to photograph insects at a fairly close range and although I didn’t get the results of a macro, the pics were still pretty good. I was wondering if the 1.4 would make even sharper pics. Do you even recommend it with a D7000 ?

Thank you for your advice. It’s really nice of you to actually take time to do this.

Hi Nasim,

For a Nikon FX (D800 almost here!) is it worthwhile going to a 50mm prime if I have the 60mm 2.8 D micro? I know I gain some speed but the 60mm is a pretty sharp lens, and I wouldn’t be gaining much if I was looking at the 50mm 1.8 which you and others recommend over the 1.4. Thanks!

What about the nikon d7000? would the 50mm f1.4 also be “longer” and affect it since its a crop sensor camera?

hey,
was thinking of gettin a 50mm f/1.4 prime. I use a D90, would the Nikon 50mm f/1.4G work well on my camera.

Hi Nasim,

I want to ask for the 50mm f/1.4D, because there is no internal focus, whether that is not possible in pairs cpl filter?

Can you give me advice between 50mm f/1, 8D and 50mm f/1.4D?

Regards,

i think you should always mention the price in your reviews,
either MSRP or street price will do.
for many of us, that particular factor is the real deal-breaker

AF-S DOES have an internal focusing motor.
