The 50 is nice because it doesn't significantly change the apparent spatial relationships of objects in the shot from how you saw them when you took the shot. The 50 is nice because the framelines in the viewfinder are just the right size. The 50 is great for medium distance group shots. The 50 is nice for portraits with most of the person in the frame, and some background too. The 50 is nice for architectural details, close up. The 50 is nice because it is small. The 50 is nice because it is cheap. I'm sure I could think of some more. Every 50 I ever used has been a super sharp lens. Nikon, Olympus, and most recently, Konica. I don't know what problems you had the with Nikkor 50, but shots that I take are sharp, as long as I didn't miss focus. Pete __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
