Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II - Nifty Fifty

[angryhampster]

f/1.8 can be had for $60 on ebay. $325 for the f/1.4 would be considered a steal.

Steal away...they are reputable and I have purchased thousands from them.

I think I have a bad copy. I've tried everything, and mine is not this sharp in low light. I've just been chalking it up to "you get what you pay for", but after seeing some of these pictures, I think my copy is soft.

I find mine soft in low light as well

The examples are great... now it's time to decide if i should get the 1.4 or save my money and get the 1.8

I have a 17-500 f2.8 tamron that works great... any suggestions?

[gymell]

I already posted this in the Cat photo thread. A lot of people seem to like the nifty fifty for that. Here's mine:

My 1.8 just got delivered. I can't wait to get home and start shooting!!!:-D

[Kristy]

Here are a couple...
One is a favorite of my little one and the other just a nature thing to give you some variety. :)

It's a great lens for the buck, but after a year with one, you'll be ready to upgrade, I know I am. ;)

[Bas]

Just got mine a couple of hours ago :D

I feel that this lens is second kit lens. so i don't think no one didn't get it anyhow due to price. it was my second canon lens.

[elTwitcho]

my 50 1.8 will certainly be one of the last things I replace in my kit. I'm very happy with mine

the thing ive learned about this lens is that you have to be really careful where you focus it at, the slightest movement can throw it off esp when its stopped down to 1.8

WOW I love both these shots! How did you "reverse" it for the macro shot? And what aperture setting did you use for the landscape shot there? I'm dying to try out some landscape shots with my 50mm 1.8

[thedjo]

can you set the aperture when it is reversed? my exif data came out weird with f/1.9

hi corporation. thank you
for reverse, just turn the lense upside down, there supposed to be an adapter for this to make it easier, but with nifty fifty i find it easy to hand held the lens so that no stray light came in through the area between the front side of the lens and the camera.
I use Tv mode and set the ISO, because the aperture will show up as 00 in the camera.

for the landscape, I think it was f22, it was cold that night so i was too lazy to change to my zoom lens :) notice the croppings

[huhging]

Gee....I'm getting depressed after seeing all these wonderful pictures.
I don't know what I'm doing with all my expensive gears.
It definitely proves that it is the one behind a camera that is making the shots, not the lenses.
I better go out and practice more....

It's a good starter lens for gig goers

f1.8 - I switched to user defined single point center focus (not sure if that's hte official name, but I just hit the button on the top left of my XTi and it lets me define the area of focus. Looks like it focused through the boot hole to the inside.

Great shot!!! The exposure must have been at least a minute long...

[Thornfield]

Not sure exactly why but I love this shot. The pastel looking background and the blues/greens is really unique and beautiful.

I would have top agree with this. It's a picture that sticks in your mind.

No problem! :) I would have done the same thing -- you just beat me to it! The only other detail that I'll add is that I shot this with mirror lockup and with a cable release. The light in the background is the aurora borealis. The shadows on the barn are caused by the stray light of Lincoln, Nebraska, approximately 20 miles to the south, reflecting off a cloud deck over the city.

Thanks guys!

The pano is of Chicago taken from near the Adler Planetarium. I used the 50mm f/1.8 for this pic. In TIF format, the picture is around 850MB in size and around 110 MP. I recently sold the f/1.8 and upgraded to the f/1.4 because I needed the f/1.4 for Canon's double rebate. I'm really going to miss the light weight of the f/1.8 though.

This lens also takes great macros and near-macros with extension tubes:

Wow! Great macro shots! Oh yeah, the 50mm f/1.8 is nice and light. It does not look so intimidating either, it attracts much less attention than my 24-105mm.

Well, I'm convinced on the quality...

Before I break down and get one, do you owners think that 50mm is wide enough or would you have preferred something wider?

99allturbo, great shot. Looks like is really using the 10MP :)

I would prefer something a little wider, but having said that... you will not find a wider
lens this sharp and this fast for the same low cost.

This is the first non-zoom I have used on an SLR in a long time. It takes a little time
getting used to zooming in and out with your feet :)

[hawk911]

I love the crispness of the lens, and it does take a bit to get used to not having fingertip control over your zoom BUT for the price it's a great lens.

[evandavies]

Hmmm, thats the thing. I don't want to get temped into this lens because its so good and cheap and then I don't use it.

I'll go to a shop and test it out... :)

I look at it like this: for ~$70, I can carry a great, sharp lens in my bag and not feel bad if I don't use it all the time. I would feel really bad if I spent $$$ on a 24-70 L glass lens and never used it.

[4walls]

It really is a great little lens and I can't believe how small and light it is.
Throw it in your bag and use it once in a while. It takes up so little room
and cost so little that you owe it to yourself to try it out.

If you end up not using it... there are a lot of buyers out there who like to
pick up used ones too. Just try to buy a used one... good luck with that.
I managed to find one here on POTN before the seller listed it in the market-
place section.

Hi all,

I took this one today at a local gym where we fly r/c planes indoors. Love this lens, best $60 I ever spent!

Thanks! In all honestly, I would want something wider, but that is my only regret. It's a great lens.

[JohnnyG]

If I didn't have a "fifty" I would go buy one after seeing all these fantastic shots! Wow!

[jonnypb]

can't wait til mine turns up :D

[Tareq]

You have to, it is cheap and great lens.
Still i love to use it for sharpness and color, it is a must lens in my opinion.

[Bas]

Probably not the best picture to show off what the f1.8 can do, but still thought it was an okay photo ;)

Anyway, I love this lense, even though the angle isn't that big, it's só sharp!

And another one...it's my younger brother at work in the garage with my welding helmet on. It's a shame that his face is out of focus, but the helmet is sharp, and there's a nice DOF in the picture as well.

Winter is the best time to do all the crazy stuff you would never do in the summertime with your car(not on the road, that is. In a safe parkinglot or driveway). Snow piles are much more forgiving than lampposts or cement walls!

Macro_30D, why your photos show as they are low quality or so, don't tell me that due to resizing and so issues, you can post high quality with no problem, i know this lens produce sharp high IQ, so your nice shots are good but not IQ as posted, i hope if you can repost them or send me the files without resize to check how the quality are they

See the heading, that would be a Smithwick's. I'm sure all of us from the U.S. have made this mistake: you belly up to the bar, scan the tap handles and proudly order a Smith - wicks, only to be met with a quisical stare and the reply "did you mean Smit - icks? Oh well, I've been initiated and I couldn't be happier.:D
