Re: I ordered a... nifty fifty!

It's a 50mm lens Zoundz, usually around 1.8.

They are a fast lens and offer great quality at a relatively low price

Re: I ordered a... nifty fifty!

I ended up going for the 1.8

Almost everyone who has one seems to be happy with it, so I just wanted to check it out for myself

Thanks All - ordered it from Jessops but they say its a 10 day wait
