50mm f/1.8 Lens War Thread

Hey! Love those ones of the art museum! I've been meaning to make a trip over there.

Regarding the plastic vs metal....the thing is $60. If you break it, buy a new one. I spend more on a pair of shoes that I wear 1 or 2 times a year.

Here's one I took back in April.

Window light only, F/3.2, SS 1/80, ISO 400

Great photos everyone, love the portraits and night shots.

Ok, I have a few now. All at f1.8. Not a great idea.

1. Some family members- very bad focus
2. The official mirowave fudge maker trying to recall if he has purchased all the ingredients he needs.
3.Him again making certain that the mix is ready to microwave.
4. The finishing touch.

I left one out.
From the floor.

Love this thread...just shows you don't need 4 figure lenses to take nice shots. I've had my Canon Lens EF 50mm 1:1.8 II for years and it has served me well. I convinced two photog newbies last year into buying one and they enjoy it.

This shot was taken yesterday at San Pedro (as is w/o PS adjustments):
