Lenses with one and only one focal length.

Nikon 45mm f/2.8 pancake

A cute little lens, which is extremely compact and has excellent build and image quality. A manual lens, but works like a charm on all my DX bodies.

Macros for Nikon DX

I have Nikon DX bodies exclusively and shoot a lot of macro, so I bought both the 85mm f/3.5 and the 40mm f/2.8 DX Micro-Nikkors to supplement a couple of older macros I have.

Sigma 50mm f/1.4

I have a weakness for bright lenses and always had great experiences with Sigma. So when I wanted a bright 50mm, I found it natural to look closer at Sigma's offering.

Nikon 35mm f/1.8

This lens is a no-brainer for any Nikon owner! It might not be the best lens Nikon ever made, but the quality to price ratio is unsurpassed.

Minolta MD 24mm f/2.8

A real eyeopener (litterally) and the start of my still ongoing wideangle craze

Sigma 20mm f/1.8

I've always liked two things in my lenses: wide angle and brightness. Combine the two and you have a winner!

Life starts at f/1.8

I have always loved bright lenses. If money was no issue, all my lenses would have f/1.4 and f/1.8 stamped on them. A few slow ones would be f/2.8, but only the slow ones...

A bright 85mm lens

A great and affordable short telephoto potrait lens with excellent image quality for the price. I bought one used, and I love it.

Minolta 50mm f/1.7

As normal as they come, but still a very capable lens with premium image quality
