Nifty Fifty pics please.

I am considering the nifty fifty lens ( no idea what it is really called without checking, I mostly see it referred to as that on here...)as a Xmas pressie.

Can all you wonderful photographers post some pics on here that you have taken with yours? I am interested to see the range of images that can be achieved.

Thanks in advance.

Hi, I have just acquired a 50mm f1.4 lens only mine is not a Nikon but a Pentax. Have taken a few with it and I am very pleased, is super for portrait type shots and also for when you want a tight DOF. Again it is great indoors because with such low rating, 1.4, it will take shots in low light which means no flash or at most a deflected flash, also means you can keep the ISO lower so less noise.

Have taken a few shots with it but they are not on photobucket and I do not have the time to sort them at the moment, when I do I will let you see if you wish.

Think a few of the Nikon people have one so they should be able to satisfy your interest.

Mine would be the canon to go with my Canon EOS 400D .I would love to see them when you have sorted them Snapper.

Will see what I can sort this evening

I'll look some more pictures out for you Rach in a wee while.

Mine is the cheaper Canon EF 50mm f1.8 II which you may see called the 'nifty fifty' or 'plastic fantastic'. You can get the the 1.8 for about £60-£80. If you were wanting a wider aperture 1.4 you would pay quite a bit more.

Remember the thing about EF lenses rather than a EF-S lenses. Your camera sensor (like mine and most other peoples) isn't full frame so whilst you'll get the nice big aperture you would be 1.6 x 50mm = 80mm.

You could also search tags on here or on Flickr for examples.

The 'nifty fifty' refers to the 50mm f1.8 It is a good lens for the price (as Phil said the 50mm f1.4 costs approx 4x the amount the f1.8 does).

I personally went for the f1.4 as I wanted the better build quality etc however some of the shots I have seen that has been taken with the f1.8 have been rather good. I know Sammy used it alot before she bought her 70-200mm and she got good reults with it

Sorry, yes mine was about twice that price, seem to remember about £158 I think, still not bad for a nice little lens. Not sure if it is plastic or not but it weighs more than you would expect.

Love the Lupins Phil, and love my pretend Nifty

Check out flickr and tap in nifty fifty.

I'm still thinking about getting one so will look forward to any pics posted in here!
