50mm f/1.8 Lens War Thread

Ben, great shots of the museum! Don't care much for the border, but the shots are great. Nice work on showing the differences in aperature also.

I really like the dof of this lens, and I also like how under natural light colors are rendered much more accurately than my other lenses.

Alison, another cute shot of your daughter! You are the portrait queen.

mdmc, I'm trying hard to get a good shot of my dogs too. Haven't quite got the one I want yet but I'm still working on it.

Hope to see more images!

Thank you shrackman you are far too kind.
I have alot of willing subjects to help me get plenty of practise.
Now if I could only get some customers...it might help me buy that Canon EF 70-200mm F2.8 L USM IS that I'm after :thumbsup:

Here are a few more.

Taken around the golden hour. F/1.8, ISO 100, SS 1/400


I just want to show the verstaility of this lens. I know a wide angle would probably have been better for firework shots, but my 50mm 1.8, as far as I was concerned, was the best lens I had at the time.
And, thanks to the firework tips here, Fireworks Tips I thought I got some pretty good shots. So, thank you to Sebastian and all the other members who contributed to that thread.

F/14.0, SS bulb, ISO 100, handheld


Taken on an overcast day, F/2.2, SS 1/1000, ISO 100, added some colour pop


Indoors, window light only, F/5.6, SS 1/80, ISO 400


I'm suprised I got anything at all here. Backlighting and action?...not the easiest of shooting conditions. I'm so pleased it turned out.

SS 1/1250, F/2.8, ISO 100, Flash with diffuser fired


This Lemur came out of it's enclosure and sat on a fence near us. I was so excited to get this shot.
Taken on an overcast day, F/9.0, SS 1/80, ISO 400


I should stop. I'm taking over this thread lol. It's just that I have sooooo many GREAT shots taken with this lens!
