Nikon Portrait Kit with AF-S 50mm f1.8G and SB700 Flash

The AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G lenses have long been the standard lens for portrait photographers because they produce a natural compression that is more flattering when capturing images of people.  More importantly though the lens creates a stunning shallow depth of field to blur your background while keeping your subject super sharp. The AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G includes Silent Wave Motor technology (SWM) for fast and precise autofocus, M/A Focus Mode Switch for seamless changes between manual and autofocus operation and an aspherical lens element for outstanding optical performance with high contrast. This lightweight standard lens is a great travel companion because you never know when a beautiful, sunny day will turn cloudy and rainy.. Good knowledge of flash is what separates a good photographer from a truly great one and the Nikon SB-700 is the perfect unit to start with because it is both compact and powerful.
