Nikon 50mm FX f/1.4 Prime DSLR Lens
This Nikon lens is going to be the ultimate low light performer. Used with an FX or film camera the 50mm focal length makes this lens perfect for indoor, portrait, and any low light situation. The f/1.4 aperture takes in all the light available and creates bright and sharp pictures with a very shallow depth of field. This lens will take the creativity of any photographer and multiply it many times. This lens is moderately expensive at $484.95, but will be well worth the investment.
