We went out to a Chinese Lantern Festival/Acrobat show last night. It was entirely outside which made for some challenging lighting. Although the majority of the images were shot with the 18-70mm AF Nikkor lens on my D300, I also took along the 50mm f/1.4 as well. I ended up shooting all the stage acts with the old 50mm MF Nikkor It's challenging with the modern focusing screen, but workable. Although it's more convenient that the lens is "chipped", that really didn't come into play since the lighting didn't change at all and the images could just as easily been shot in manual as well.
