Deal of the day: Nikon AF-S 50mm f/1.8G lens for $90 *UPDATED*

By [NR] admin | Published: December 29, 2015

Nikon AF-S 50mm f:1.8G AF lens deal
Nikon-AF-S-50mm-f1.8G-lens-deal
The Nikon AF-S 50mm f/1.8G lens is currently available for $90 on eBay. This is most likely a grey market item (no US warranty) but for that price, I think it’s a steal (regular price is $216.95).

Update: eBay removed the listing, it was most likely a scam. Sorry about that. You can see the latest Nikon deals here.

This Zombie Wedding Project is by Irina Skripnik (website | Facebook | Instagram | Vimeo | YouTube):

Four days before Halloween 2015 me and my husband had a regular conversation, sitting on our couch. We talked about future photo sessions and tried to find out what project we should do to show my photography and post-processing skills, because I am developing my workshops program for professional photographers. So I’m in a constant search of new ideas for unusual photo sessions.

A day with the Nikon 1 ‘all-in-one’ zoom lens is by Thomas Stirr (photography website | general website | YouTube):

I must admit when Nikon first launched the 1 Nikon 10-100mm f/4-5.6 zoom lens I scratched my head a bit. After all there already are two 1 Nikon zoom lenses in this general focal length, the 10-100mm f/4.5-5.6 PD and the 30-110mm f/3.8-5.6.

After many owners raved about the 10-100mm f/4-5.6 I decided to give it a test and obtained a review sample from the folks at Nikon Canada. I’ve been shooting with it for several weeks now and have written a number of articles, including my hands-on review. What I hadn’t tried to do was use it as it was likely intended, as an ‘all-in-one’ walk-around lens.
