Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II First Shots!
Hey all,
Got my brand new Canon 50mm or as I have learned recently, the “Nifty Fifty.”
If you have read any reviews on this lens, you will have noticed how a lot say it’s really cheap but has outstanding optical quality? Well here to prove the latter, is my set of quick images I took today at work. The sharpness is breathtaking and the depth of field is fecking brilliant. I love having that ability to get out of focus stuff the way you want it.
This is a model from work and below is the full sized crop of it. LOOK AT THAT BLOOMIN DETAIL!
So I am so so chuffed with this lens. Aye it’s plasticky and aye it’s cheap, but the results speak for themselves. The best place in this lens is at f/5.6, where you get no CA’s and perfect detail.
If you need an amazing lens for £60, get the Nifty Fifty sharpish…
Hi Gordon. Good blog. Interesting posts.
I’ve just bought the eos 400d for myself+wife, and am looking into getting the Tamron 55-200mm lense. Or at least some other budget telephoto lense.
Unfortunately, the camera is securely wrapped up till Christmas, so all I can do till then is read other people’s thoughts on it.
