If anyone owns a Nikon camera, I would highly, highly recommend this lens.  It&#8217;s one of the cheapest lenses that Nikon makes, but it&#8217;s incredible for low-light situations where you can not or do not want to use a flash.  Nikon also makes an f\/1.4 lens at this focal length, but there&#8217;s quite a jump in price for that.  I&#8217;m not sure I&#8217;m &#8220;professional&#8221; enough to make that leap, but this should be more than adequate for my needs.  I&#8217;m really looking forward to taking this out to some concerts very soon and seeing what it can do.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just arrived in the mail!
