Re: Thinking about getting a nifty fifty

I love my 50mm, but mines on a canon so AF I would say try it on manual, you'll get a better sense of achievement in your shots.

Re: Thinking about getting a nifty fifty

It should be fine for any distance really after all it's 'closer' than a 35mm camera which is fine for non close ups.

As for the subjects - it should be fine for still and moving. With a nice wide 1.8 aperture (letting lots of light in) you should be able to shoot faster shutter speeds at the correct exposure.
Kit 1
Canon 1D Mark 3
Canon EF 17-40mm f/4 L USM
Canon EF 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM
Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 L IS USM
Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II
Kit 2
1D2 & 40D
