I'm assuming your lens doesn't have a 50mm mark, so set it to just short of the 55mm, take a shot, then check the image properties (or exif information). Rinse and repeat. When you hit the spot, mark it with a small sticker.

Cheers thanks, Sorry for sounding like a right twat

Yup.. Like the time I was looking through the viewfinder and couldn't figure out why I couldn't zoom.. Even after toggling AF on the camera... Turns out, I was using a 50mm

Phew finally got these developed and scanned. Stuck a 50 onto the front of my bronica. Not a FOV I'm used to dealing with but I got one or two all right ones.

Yeah:D Have something extra to look forward to in the weekend now!!

(I'm also guilty of leaving my nifty fifty in the bottom of my gear bag:o)

But not no more - it will see new light during the weekend!! Now, where do I go with the kids to keep them and me happy at the same time.......

My lens is only equivalent to 47mm. Am I disqualified?

cropped sensor? its probably really giving you a focal length of 65.8mm or something like that

Yeah, you'll need a 1.06382978723404x teleconverter.

Who would have thought taking photos would include secondary level maths... I give up already...

Ok, so its stolen borrowed a little from DPS but at the suggestion of Dakar, I should do stuff (I guess at least occasionally) that might get people out with their camera so be warned

So your mission should you decide to accept it is to get a photo(s) @ 50mm. This thread for this weekend only, Shoot something, Shoot anything at 50mm, and post the result.

Not limited to primes, but if using a zoom then stick it at 50mm. Any aperture, any ISO, just keep it at 50mm.

So, one photo (at least) from you all, How about it? G'wan g'wan.

It was just for that weekend
