Title: Fantastic lens for doll photography
Product review: Yes, it's a BIT difficult to learn to use if you've always relied on point and shoot cameras prior to moving up to your DSLR, due to lack of auto-focus. However, it's a gorgeous lens that takes gorgeous photos. I'd recommend it for anyone considering close-up work with relatively static subjects, like doll photography.Lack of auto-focus makes it somewhat difficult to use on subjects that are moving around a lot, like cats or fidgety children, but it gives crisp, beautiful portraits of posed subjects.I'm a bit wary of prime lens because I like having the ability to zoom for wider use when I'm out and about, so I prefer saving this one only for posed subjects, but I have to say it does a much, much better job than ANY of my zoom lenses, even other ones manufactured by Nikon.
