Okay, consider me in.

Everyone is talking about their 50mm lenses. I'm not sure if it's a rebellion against expensive glass, or the result of a sad realization that 90% of the stuff shot on DSLRs and 18-300mm zoom lenses and posted on Flickr is crap. Turns out good photography is hard. Go figure.

Suddenly, the "it" equipment to own is the basic 50mm 'normal' lens. It's light, it's fast, and by removing the ability to use the zoom to compose the image, everyone's forced to get off their ass and actually move to get the shot they want.

Well, halleluiah, I say (for the second time in a week, actually). And count me in.

Today I dusted off the wonderful Nikon 50mm f1.4 in my bag and put my current 17-55mm f2.8DX to rest for a while. Maybe I'm just trying to be part of the 'in' crowd, but we'll see how this goes.
