AF Nikkor 50mm f/1.8D
I bought my D70 a month ago with the kit lens. I was wondering if i should get this lens as well for potrait shots, or if the kit lens can do whatever this lens can do? Please give me some good advice. Thanks

even though i dont really participate in this forum so often, i suspect i'm already down with the BUY BUY BUYBUY BUY BUY Virus! Reversing the lens requires another mount right?

The 50mm f1.8 is a cheap and good lens. You should try to get one. Probably the only reason why you might not want this lens is if you wanted to get a 50mm f1.4.

This lens does wonder for portrait .. sure the kit lens already cover the same range but this allow you to shoot at low lighting and I haven't even mentioned the sharpness&bokeh. At 170.. it's a no brainer.. cheap and good keeper

My take on the 50 f/1.8 reversed, handheld, exposure was done manual with flash.
