50mm f/1.8 Lens War Thread

[Old Timer]

Great idea for a thread. Wish I had a 50mm so I could play. Haven't had one since I went autofocus a few years ago. Looking forward to the images in this thread.

Yes it's true, you can get an amazingly good lens for under $100 USD... I didn't get one for Christmas so that's my excuse for not posting a shot. Looking forward to see everyone else's work!

This is definitely my favourite lens. And, although it's not regarded as a pro lens, I think it should be.
The fact that it's made of plastic doesn't bother me at all. It can take some seriously FANTASTIC pictures. I LOVE my 50mm 1.8 MKII.
