I have been shooting with an old Nikkor 50mm lens the last few weeks. This lens has been the most neglected glass I have ever owned. Didn't buy it, but got it in a swap years ago. It has lived in my equipment locker unused. My 35-70 Nikkor is a real waste, and decided to dig out the 50 and play with it.
I had it on the D90 several weeks ago when I left home for Columbus. It was a rainy day, and THis leaf was stuck behind the windshield wipers. It was the perfect lens for this shot. the 50 was always a wasted focal length to me with film cameras, but with the extra magnification with the DX format gives it a boost. The fact that its an f1.8 is not bad either.
The sharpness of the lens and the short depth of field brought out the textures and made the rain on the windshield really pop. But do not drive down the street in the rain shooting pictures with the wipers off. Could cause major difficulties. I am a trained professional, you know.
