Hi everyone,

I own a D5100 with a kit lens and a 70-300 lens with all the appropriate filters (UV, polarizer and ND).

I just acquired a Nikkor prime 50mm 1.8G lens to take nice indoor portraits of my soon-to-be-born daughter. I didn't bother investigating for filters since it was going to be mostly an indoor lens.

Impressed by the quality of this lens, I started thinking about what I could use this lens for outdoor but my experience is still limited so I don't really know it's full potential.

So my questions are :

1. What is the use of a 50 mm 1.8 lens outdoor? I assume I can do outdoor portraits but beside that?

2. What filters would be useful for such a lens when used outdoor (for portraits and other uses )?

Thanks!
