Which Nikon lens should I buy?

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009

I have a nikon D40 and want to spend about 0 - 0 on a prime lens for it. I am comparing the 50mm f/1.8 lens and the 18-55mm f/3.6 lens.

The 50mm is faster, but the 18-55mm lets me zoom in and out more.

I will be using it for some sports photography, which is why I need the faster lens. But I would like to be able to zoom out a little bit too.

Can someone clarify a question regarding a Nikon DX lens on an FX camera ?

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009

If I was to put (for example) a 50mm DX lens on a FX camera do I understand correctly that the focal length would remain 50mm however the image will be smaller due to the DX crop of the lens. Not that I really want to do this I am just keen to get my head around the whole DX/FX/crop thing. Cheers.
