Something aint right as they are blurring, this was the same as my G6 until i got them settings but for the life of me can't remeber what they were.

Are you using live view?
Live view focus works by contrast detection and requires more light
you do need a reasonable amount of light for the auto focus and exposure to set.
I have found one torch isn't enough and a bit of back lighting helps

Dave, I'm looking for either a 35 or 50mm for my Nikon D40, and wondered if you could recommend anything??

Been looking at this one????

Yes the afs 50mm f/1.8 is a great lens wouldn't mind one myself.
I only have the afs 35mm f/1.8 its a great quality alround lens and perfect for catches plus its about the right angle for self taking, I think you would find 50mm a bit narrow for self taking as the camera would finish up further away. They are both great lenses though for me the 35 which is near enough 50mm, on old film jobs used to be the standard has more uses

Thanks for that Dave, I dont take a lot of self takes atm, so thats not something I'd thought about, so will look at the 35mm.

Think I read somewhere tho I need the AS-F-G model as the AS-F wont auto focus on my D40??

Got the 35mm AF-S on my D40 and it certainly does auto focus. Perfect trophy shot lens on a cropped sensor camera such as the D40 as the FOV will pretty much equal that of a 50mm lens on a full frame camera.

Takes a lovely picture as well, nice blurry backgrounds and pin sharp focus. You wont look back

Hi Dodge

First of many I hope. Photobucket tends to muller your images, upload them to flickr and the results are loads sharper
If you are not up to speed on getting images on the forum drop me a PM and i will take you through it
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
