Jon Foy Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Does anyone know of a reason to avoid the Nikon 50mm F/1.8 G as a taking lens? (And go with the D version instead?) I'm looking for a Nikon 50mm, and the F/1.8 G just seems like the obvious low-price choice but I don't see it mentioned anywhere as a taking lens, so I'm wondering if there's some issue I'm not aware of. The aperture should be controllable through the Speedbooster, or maybe there is some other down side I'm missing? I'm using a GH5 > .64 Speedbooster > Ultra Star Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spgreen65 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 I use the 50mm 1.8D as the taking lens with my Slr Magic 1.33 40 anamorphot and the xl speed booster. No issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Foy Posted October 11, 2017 Author Share Posted October 11, 2017 Thanks Spgreen65. I think it's the G versus D version that might be an issue. At any rate, it's inexpensive so I went ahead and ordered the 50mm 1.8 G. I'll report back whether it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IshootbeforeItalk Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 50mm on a speedbooster xl is very wide, what scope are you planning to use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Foy Posted October 14, 2017 Author Share Posted October 14, 2017 The Isco Ultra Star. I'm still waiting on my clamp but when I hold it in place it seems like it should work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
