Nikon 50mm f/1.8

I finally got chance to try out my new lens yesterday, it's a Nikon AF-S 50mm f/1.8G. I nearly purchased one of these when I first got my DSLR, and it's only now that I regret not doing so!

I've only taken a handful of photos with the lens but it's clear that it really is an exceptional piece of equipment. Focusing is super fast and quiet, and images are razor sharp. I'm not used to such a wide aperture, the depth of field it creates is stunning.

Anyway, I have't had much time to use it properly, but here are a few photos that I've taken with it recently...
