Nikon Lens Selector

I feel like I may have mentioned this in the past, but it's neat enough that I'd say it's worth coming back to. Scott Kelby just reminded me about this useful tool: a lens focal length simulator from Nikon, which can become an invaluable tool when selecting your next lens—or even camera body. Better yet, it can become an informative tool to help learn about the effects of different focal lengths and sensor sizes. With the tool, simply input all the particulars of lens and focal lengths, and you can even look at the type of photograph you'll be making, and then the simulator will display how a given scene will look on a particular sensor, with a particular focal length lens at a particular distance. It's simple but super-effective, and a great way to help plan your next lens purchase (or, like I said, to learn a little more about how focal length and sensor size affect images).
