I have the Canon 50mm/f1.8 aka the "Nifty Fifty". Got it a few years ago when it was still under $100. At the time, it was the cheapest prime lens you could but. I really like the photos I get with that lens.
- w0mbat 5y agoThat cheap Canon 50mm lens is great. I use a Canon 5D mk something and carry a 28mm, a 50mm, and a 100mm, all of them ƒ/2.0 or 1.8. For a lot of shots I want the specific look of ƒ/2.0 on a decent prime lens. I don't actually want an aperture wider than that.
- schrijver 5y agoThat really is a great lens. Versatile as well since on a crop camera it’s a useful focal length too. IMHO the difference with the more expensive lenses is more about durability (a fair trade off since they’re cheap) and handling (easier manual focus, distance markings) than image quality.
