I use several zooms, but the primes are great for low light and shallow depth of field,and eventually you will find great uses for both. Enjoy the camera and the lens. |
HI!! Cool, a new camera friend! I also have the Sigma 30mm1.4 - and it does have a wider angle - and super fast, but chunkier, by far (has motor in lens, btw). The only reason I have it is bc I started w/ the D40 - and the Nikkor50mm1.8 won't AF on the D40 - so I had to spend the add'l $$$ for the Sigma HSM for the AF (was having some blurred vision, so didn't want to manually focus my 50mm on my D40).
Anyway, once I got my D90 - I can now use my 50mm1.8
. I do still pull out my Sigma though....I go back and forth about selling it, but ahhh well.
