Was in Ottawa for hockey tournament this weekend ... went to the Winterlude Ice Carving in town ... changed to my trusty 50 for this pic ... Elgin Hotel in the background ... converted to B/W but still prefer the original ... what do you think?? (I know I blew out the sky a bit :( )

Do you have any shots of the Ice carvings? Been a few years since I lived there, but when I saw them they were amazing!

I have only had chance to take the odd shot with this lens so far, but pleased with the result.

I just got a similar envy. Are these kenko extensions that you're using, michaelsink? What about the entire setup for that particular shot, mind sharing? I love that shot! Thanks!

My 50 is backfocusing like crazy, is it even worth trying to fix or should I just buy another one?

yeah, these are kenko tubes (ebay buy it now for $89 + $20 shipping) bought from HK Supplies (etefore seller) all 68mm of them at f/18 (ISO 400) on the 30D with a Sigma EF500 DG Super near the lens handheld using a Canon off camera cord. Focusing distance is under an inch with this combination. Quite a fun one!

Thanks for the compliments everyone.

Well, I haven't owned the 50 f/1.8 for about a year, but I'll contribute some pics from when I had it.

My donation

Hello all,

I have been perusing (lurking) here for sometime now and enjoying all of your photos, beautiful job everyone,, I appreciate you all taking the time to share, and helping me to decide on whether or not to purchase a 50 1.8, I can only say your images convinced me to purchase it, I got it at auction on eb**, I had the chance to get a Mark I, and as most know it's the same glass, optics as the Mark II, just a stronger quality, I received mine today and been playing with it for hours, though I am not getting the sharp, crisp images I see so many of you are getting, I don't know if it's my un-familiarity with it or just have a bad lens all togeather, I haven't left the seller any feedback until I know this lens is taking decent images.

In any event I would like to share, add my first images from my new- pre owned Canon 50 1.8 Mark I. I'm sorry can't give any information as to settings, focal length's as I was all over with camera, lens settings, actually didn't know what I was doing, out of all I took I had these 5 weren't to bad.

Thanks for allowing me to share.

This was only one straight out of camera, lucked out, the others I only did some lighting
