About the Nikon 18.5mm f/1.8 1 Nikkor
One of the things every experienced photographer knows: Unless you have full control of the lighting situation, you'll want more light way more often than you'll want less of it. A lens that delivers plenty of photons to your image sensor is a good thing to have. This very bright, 50mm-equivalent "normal" focal length lens is designed to get you great results and creamy defocused backgrounds in situations where using a flash will disrupt the flow of events. The first time you see the mood and atmosphere that comes from shooting in natural, subdued light with a lens like this, you'll know you want to use it more.

Purchased this lens for my Nikon J1, and it really put the kit lens to shame. Pictures turned out very crisp with the perfect background blur.
