As you can see it is great for portraits. That's because on a DX camera it is a moderate telephoto lens. I got some good shots but found it strange to use since I was used to my 18-70 zoom.

50 mm
So I had some birthday money burning a hole in my pocket, so I decided to take a common suggestion and buy a 50 mm lens. I got the Nikon AF 50 mm f/1.8 D. It is relatively inexpensive, but quite good. The selling point is the large f/1.8 aperture. This allows for shallow depth of field so you can throw the background out of focus, drawing attention to the subject. It also allows for more pictures in available light, instead of requiring flash.
