80mm f1.1 equivalent
Feeling lost in Candyland?
85mm might be too long for portraits on a DX camera, but it sure is great for melting the backgrounds away.. especially when combined with the Brenizer method.
32mm f0.77 equivalent
Got to try out the auto-focus version of the 50mm, which is the cheapest Nikon lens available. Was originally concerned about the relatively poorer bokeh rendition of the lens compared to the new f1.4 from Sigma, since my primary use would be to create bokeh-ramas.

If not for the beauty of the sunset, I would probably be screwed for making the rest of my family wait for 1.5hrs doing nothing. The only pity was the lack of foreground elements, as the rocks were covered by the rising tides by the time the sun set, and I had no choice but to re-deploy to higher grounds (See comparison after the break).
