I think everyone needs to own a "nifty 50". I own the AF-S Nikkor 50mm F/1.4D version. It's the fastest, sharpest lens in my bag. Since it's considered a full frame FX lens it works great when shooting high definition, low light stills or video. It's super fast to focus and will allow for great close-up photography. Mine cost me more than twice the F/1.8 version but it was worth it to me. I prefer available light photography and this lens is so lightweight it's a pleasure to tote around in a smal camera bag. I'm sure you'll find the same is true for your new "G" model, an updated version of my old standard.

Well, I had the 1.8 as well, but found it noisy (in terms of the AF) and also quite slow. Have to say so far I'm not finding this one much faster, but it could be the D80 just being generally slower than I'm used to with the D300s?

Anyway, super pleased with it so far!
