Smart move. :thumbsup: I don't even use my kit lens anymore, that's how much I love the 1.8. I love taking no-flash pictures indoors.

i got my d50 a couple days ago, with the 18-55mm lens and a 50mm f/1.8d prime. i've been slowly figuring out the features of the camera.
regarding the autofocus, when i set it on single area or dynamic area and try to focus on something outside the center area, sometimes it will go haywire (it won't stay still long enough for me to lock the focus). i have to set it on 'closest subject' and recompose the shot. just curious if anyone has a solution (or knows what i'm talking about).

What with all the d50 threads up here lately, I thought I'd just add on to this one instead of starting my own (LordSegan, hope you don't mind.. )
After a lot of research and thought, I also decided on the D50. Working with the 18-55mm kit lens right now; I'm currently saving for the Tokina 12-24mm super wide angle.
Suggestions for improvement are definitely welcome! The night shots were taken with a tripod. There's still some camera shake; I definitely have to work on this, but we all have to start somewhere, right?

night 2, 5s shutter speed:

I really like the effects of the different types of light on the long exposure.
The artifacts you see are effects of the image resizing; the original (~3mb) jpgs are quite clear.
Thoughts are appreciated!

Nice night shots. Do you have a remote? That should eliminate the possibility of camera shake.
