I got a new toy

I got a new toy on Friday.  I'm so excited!  I've been wanting one for a long time.  I really didn't mean to buy it this time, but apparently my 1-click shopping is set up on my Amazon app.  I clicked expecting it to be added to my cart and it was purchased.  I guess it was fate!  What is it you ask?



A pretty new lens!  It's a Nikon 50mm 1.8.  I decided to opt for the 1.8 instead of the 1.4 for a couple of reasons.  One, the price.  The 1.8 is quite a bit cheaper.  Two, I'm new to photography and still trying to figure stuff out.  I decided if I eventually need the functionality of the 1.4, I can trade up.  I'm hoping I'll get to share some of my pictures with my new lens on the blog in the future.
