New lily, new lens

traded in my nikkor 1.8 D for the new 1.8 G, although this flower is not doing well in the heat over the last two days the lens performed flawlessly

iso 100, f 5.6, 1/400 sec. 50mm

reasons for upgrading the lens- new lens has the silent wave motor (autofocuses on my D5000), they added an asperhical lens element and still kept the price point reasonable.

excellent photo Ed. I'd love to hear more about this lens!

Thanks Bambi.

Wonderful detail in this shot. Looks like that lens will suit you well. :thumbup:
