Tamron 60mm f2 Macro Lens

Tamron have added a twist to their latest macro lens: A fast f2.0 maximum aperture, which is quite unusual compared to competitors’ f2.8 offering. What’s so great about the f2.0 aperture? It allows you to achieve an extremely shallow depth of field, which is perfect for selectively focusing on part of your subject.

Nikon AF-S 50mm f1.4 G Lens

This re-designed standard lens can be used on all Nikon FX (full frame sensor) and DX (smaller APS-C sensor) digital SLRs. On DX format digital SLRs, such as the Nikon D60 or D300, the picture angle is equivalent to a focal length of 75mm. This is because DX sensors only use part of the image cast by the lens, therefore cropping the image and narrowing the field of view. This makes the Nikon AF-S 50mm f1.4 an ideal focal length for portraiture.
