Taken from a very low angle.

Awesome, you guys are fantastic!

ya I had looked around and a bunch of people were saying how great a 50mm lense is, as it's pretty close to what the human eye sees perspective wise.

The reason why I was looking for more "good" quality, is I have a screw on fish eye. It doesnt quite capture the look I want and have seen from others with an actual fish eye lense. but then I'm prolly picky

So on my list is a 50mm, 8mm (fish eye) and something wide angle (so 10-20mm)...

I need to look into a lense for landscapes too....but my 18-55 might suffice

Bear in mind that 50mm on a DX camera will be 75mm equivalent because of the 1.5x multiplication factor. This is a good focal length for most portraits.
Another option is to go for a 60mm micro. This gives you a perfect 90mm portrait lens that also covers macro if you need to get in close.

On the latest nikon uk tv advert it shows a guy shooting through a glass ball .(like a fortunetellers crystal ball). He puts it on the floor or wall an photographs the image in the ball. Its obviously inverted and needs photoshop flipping but he had some crazy effects. He obviously nicked it from a fortune tellers tent....when she didnt forsee him coming.

:lol:

Nikon do a nice 35mm DX lens which will be the equivalent of 50mm on an Fx body. Might be worth looking at.

P.S. I second the 10-20mm suggestion, I love mine and even use it on the D3s now and again in crop mode.
