fast fifty
If you are an aspiring photographer, hobbyist, or advanced amateur with a DSLR, and you don’t have a “fast” (large aperture, <= 1.8) 50mm lens you are wasting your camera. The miniscule depth-of-field and incredible sharpness from a fast prime lens can make seriously killer portraits, and lots of other awesome shots too. There is nothing that will make your subject pop in your photos quite like blurring the snot out of everything else in the image. Not too mention the fact that it is probably the cheapest lens you will ever buy. Nikon
