50mm pictures

As Anouilh suggested, it would be nice to have a thread where we can post pictures taken by our beloved 50mm lenses.
Please feel free to specify make (Canon, Nikkor, Pentax, others) and other details.

And its also great for portraits

I know the teeth are scarily white but i did a b&w convert in lightroom and the Preset i used did it :pac:

AnimalRights · 10-01-2009 11:16am

Canon 50mm 1.4 on 40D except last one which is 5D mk II

I could go on forever, my 2 fav lenses are the 50mm 1.4 and the 24-105L, but since I got the 5D II I'm using the 50mm so much more in tandem with the fantastic ISO....

I

My Canon 50mm 1.4 - It's got something very wrong with it - It's pin sharp at and focusing distance under 3 metres, after which, every highlight glows, it's soft all over, and absolutely fantastic.

It's my lightweight, take everywhere, boozing lens.

You appear to like your 50mm as much as your 24-70 with them 200 pics you've posted.

Fajitas! · 10-01-2009 12:07pm

It's only 6 more than yourself, and I've three different 50mm's, so it's only fair

And yes, I do like it as much as my 24-70

Do you have the original, or could you PM me a link to it? I'd be interested in seeing the difference.

It's a bit big

Edit: Oh, do you mean colour?

Hmm, I reckon I've cleared it off this HD, it's probably up in Dublin somewhere

Yeah, was the colour I was looking for!

No hassle if you don't have it though!

That was my favourite by far of his set too.

challengemaster · 10-01-2009 2:18pm

ISO 3200 on the 5DmkI. Beautiful.

ISO 1600 on 400D...not so beautiful.

whyulittle · 10-01-2009 4:03pm

Should we create one of these for a wide range of lenses, and link them from the FAQ's?

Borderfox · 10-01-2009 4:10pm

Good idea, similar to Canon photography on the net forums

ThOnda · 10-01-2009 4:12pm

Well, we could link this one from FAQ sticky. But I wouldn't expect doing something similar for all lenses. Just use tags on Flickr.
I have created the thread after realising that we really recommend nifty-fifty very often and that could be very helpful to show people, who consider that basic lense, what is possible to do with it. Especially if they consider upgrading from kit-lense to nifty.
Just my opinion.

melekalikimaka · 10-01-2009 4:17pm

All Nikon 50mm 1.8 and D50

Ricky91t · 10-01-2009 4:24pm

Yeah maybe not all lenses,but the ones that are always recommended
Cheap telephoto:Sigma 70-300 APO DG
Sports lens:Canon 70-200
Wide Angle:10-20

Alot of users on here use these lenses and would mean people asking questions could see the lenses capabilities

sasar · 10-01-2009 4:25pm

both taken with 400D & canon 50mm 1.8

GristlyEnd · 10-01-2009 4:51pm

The Nikkor 50mm is a great landscape lens

also perfect for IR photography

and night shots

Thank you for starting this thread.

Certainly an incentive to buy a prime lens.

Pivot_Al · 10-01-2009 8:37pm

DarrenG- I don't usually like IR shots,but that one of yours is really great- its a lovely composition in the first place which always helps!

Deliverance XXV · 10-01-2009 8:40pm

Canon F/1.8

AnimalRights · 10-01-2009 8:43pm

After looking at Paddy's and Sasar's shots it really does come down to the photographer 99% and not the gear.
Wow!

dudara · 10-01-2009 8:45pm

I have been thinking about buying a 50mm prime, but the problem is that I have a Nikon D40.

They list this new lens on their website - AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.4G - which they say has an inbuilt motor. As I'm still learning, can someone tell me if this lens would autofocus with the D40 body?

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: I think that I've answered my own question - it will work, but it's quite pricey. Anyone know of any other lens manufacturers whose 50mm primes would AF with the D40?

Sleepy · 10-01-2009 8:47pm

Thanks for this thread, been thinking of buying the 50, tbh I'd pretty much made my mind up to go for it but it's fully made up now.

Sigma have released a 50mm 1.4, but I don't know if it'll AF or not I'm afraid!

If all went to all, you could buy an old school 50mm off eBay for about 40 quid, including P&P, and just go for the manual focus?

Just saw it on their website - will check it out

That might be an option, it would be worth it at that price.

Fajitas! · 10-01-2009 9:06pm

Exactly! Save a tonne on the newer 50 1.8 anyways

Anouilh · 10-01-2009 9:11pm

Some technical insight here:

http://forums.cnet.com/5208-7593_102-0.html?forumID=58&threadID=260799&messageID=2567084

It has been explained to me how a 50mm prime acts as an 80mm due to the crop factor in my Digital Rebel sensor.

Does this mean that I would do better with a 30mm prime?

Fajitas! · 10-01-2009 9:14pm

Not nessicarily better - If you want the 50mm equiv field of view, then, yes, the 30 is the way to go, but otherwise, you're getting a cheap 80mm!

Fwiw, Sigma do a fantastic 30mm 1.4 - I loved mine 'til I upgraded to full frame

Took these a while ago but I've not seen them for a while so I thought I'd post them.

I love the 50mm, the DOF is paper thin at 1.4. The only lens I prefer over it is the 85mm 1.4
