50mm 1.4 or 1.8?

petemc · 11-07-2008, 19:54

50mm f/1.8 is my guess. Good old EXIF

Matblack · 11-07-2008, 20:07

Its a f/1.8 I'm not MADE of money, I have to say just from a little play this is a really nice lens, its very quick and as you can see from the pic of Murphy it give a good account of itself

I'll have more of a play on Sunday but I'm looking forward to using it at meets in lower light conditions.

I love mine, brilliant for portraits.

thankoo

It's probably my favourite picture from that lens, it's just so nice to use though, always sharp, brilliant depth of field and the colours are nice.

Keep thinking about getting one of these. Problem is I borrowed a colleagues for a bit and found the 50mm (80mm full frame equiv) was a bit too narrow for indoor work, where the f/1.8 would be at its most useful.

In two minds whether to just get for 50 quid or put the money towards a Sigma 30mm f/1.4
