I've searched the few threads on here about this lens, as well as reading a couple of online reviews and it seems that the big :thumbsdown: on this lens is CA and fringing in general (plus a little barrel distortion). What I'm not clear on though, is how much this CA goes away as you stop down and at which aperture settings it becomes unnoticable. Don't really know how sharpness comapres to the (already fairly sharp) kit lens, either .
I was hoping to get some views (and maybe some sample images) from the people here who own one, as I think that it might be the right choice as a 'low light/better focusing' alternative to my D40's 18-55mm kit lens :shrug:.
I have a Sigma HSM 50mm f/1.4 as well, which AFs on the D40, but it's too long for a lot of situations that I find myself in. It's also a bit big and bulky on the camera body ...
I want a smaller, motorised lens, which will give me better focusing in dim lighting and fairly shallow DOF (although f/2.8 would probably suffice :|), when doing street photography and candid portraits, as well as some "white box" stuff around the house.
Is the Nikon AF-S 30mm f/1.8 then, the lens for me :shrug:!?
All input welcome!
