Just Posted: Our AF-S Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 G sample gallery. We’ve had access to Nikon’s latest inexpensive 50mm prime lens for a couple of weeks and have put together a 41-image sample gallery to show some of what it can do. The AF-S G version means there’s finally an inexpensive Nikon 50mm lens that will autofocus on the company’s entry-level bodies, such as the D40, D60, D3100 and D5100. Here we’ve shot it using both the DX D7000 and the FX D3S to show how it performs on both formats.

Olympus unveils 12mm F2.0 and 45mm F1.8 fast primes for Micro Four Thirds
03
Jul
Alongside its three PEN bodies, Olympus has announced the M. Zuiko Digital ED 12mm F2.0 and M. Zuiko Digital ED 45mm F1.8 prime lenses for Micro Four Thirds. The 12mm F2.0 is a metal-bodied 24mm equivalent featuring a unique snap-focus manual focus mode. A snap-back focus ring reveals a traditional depth-of-field scale for ‘zone’ focusing and offers improved focus ‘feel.’ Later in the year it will be accompanied by the 45mm F1.8 portrait lens, making Olympus one of the only manufacturers to offer a fast prime at a roughly 100mm equivalent focal length, ideally suited to portraiture. There is also a relatively compact, bouncable and remotely commandable flash, the FL-300R, helping the PEN range look more like a complete system. More details of the 12mm F2.0 are included in our E-P3 preview, along with a gallery of sample images.
