I'm pretty passionate about my photography, and capturing those moments that are worth preserving in a photo is a challenge and an inspiration. As a creative person, I'm always looking for that great shot to express what I've seen, or to share the experience with others.

Photography for me is also a continual learning process, and I've found that even an inexperienced photographer can sometimes take a great photo due to the fact that he/she has an "eye" for creatively shooting at a certain angle, or using a particular lighting situation, or simply just because the object or subject is interesting to them.

Of course, experts are full of ideas and are a wealth of information, and I'm always fascinated by the variations and interpretations of techniques, and this is what makes photography a true artform.

Overall, I think the essence of photography is similar to music. Each photo tells a story, or describes a feeling at that moment in time, or brings back memories of that event and time in your life. The bottom-line for taking great shots is not always having the right equipment, but it sure helps.

This particular Nikon DX lens that I'm writing about here is worth having in your camera bag, and the quality it provides will blow your mind.

At its introductory price this lens costs less than the venerable AF-Nikkor 35mm F2.0D, regardless of the addition of an AF-S motor to allow autofocusing on Nikon's D40, D40X, D60 bodies, which are all entry-level lenses.




Being less than half the price of some other DX standard prime formats available, which include a Pentax 35mm F2.8 Macro, Tokina 35mm F2.8 Macro and Sigma 30mm F1.4 EX DC HSM, Nikon has uniquely been able to produce the first genuinely inexpensive fast standard prime lens for digital single lens reflex cameras.
