I shot this tender moment of my brother and his daughter using a Nikkor 50 1.8D lens, like always it was shot using natural sunlight only.
The 50mm lens (and its Canon equivalent) sharp and wide is a really, really good lens for the money – I strongly encourage you to get it. The only drawback is the slow autofocus.
It took a while to get used to a fixed lens as you will have to get used to moving back and forth.
