For the past few days I've been shooting a lot with my new Nikkor 35mm f/1.8 lens. Besides the sometimes harsh bokeh... I have to say that it's really growing on me. The focal length is just right for everyday shooting and works fabulously indoors. Before I had really considered waiting for the 50mm f/1.8 so I could buy that instead, but after shooting in some tight situations like in restaurants, I realized that this lens is a bit more practical especially for DX bodies. I'm extremely pleased with how sharp the lens is wide open and how beautifully it renders colors.

Since I'll be doing a lot of travel photography I've purchased two additional lenses, the Nikkor 55-300mm VR as well as a Sigma 10-20mm. They should serve me well for what I plan to shoot & film when I'm traveling. I only have a week left in San Jose and I am beyond excited and I can't wait to board my plane for Taiwan!!!!
