  • Using the cheapest best lens for pov street photography in london. The 50mm 1.8 is arguable the very best beginner photography lens, it's great for portrait photography, product photography and street photography!

    The 50mm 1.8, also known as the nifty fifty is a classic street photography lens. It's definitely the cheapest best lens for photography. Just because the 50mm is cheap, doesn't mean it isn't amazing. This lens is almost every beginner photographers first prime lens and I highly recommend using it for street photography.

    PSA to the people looking to buy this lens, I had it here is my experience.
    Pros:
    Really quick to focus and very versatile.
    Extremely good at handling flaring
    Better sharpness and better everything than the 50mm 1.4
    Cons:
    Really bad ghosting (double image) and softness at F1.8 (eliminated at F2.2+)
    If you buy this lens you will mostly use it at 2.2/2.8 because of the negative impact 1.8 has on the lens.
    The only time you'd want to go to 1.8 is if you really have to. Kind of like 3200/6400 ISO on a T7I. Its there but its almost unusable.
    Considering that I was using it at 2.2/2.8 anyway, I sold it and got a second hand 60mm 2.8 Macro. Which was basically the price a 50mm 1.8 STM new.
    I highly recommended going for a 60mm Macro for portraits and close ups. There is no other lens more versatile under $2000.
    Either that or save up for a used 80mm F1.8 or a second hand 50mm F1.4. Yes the 50mm 1.8 STM is better in 90% of areas compared to the 50mm 1.4 USM but, if its low light performance you are looking for that's usable at f1.4/f1.8 get a used 50mm f1.4.

      I do love the nifty fifty it has something about it,
      However, I’m a fan of vintage lenses the Konica hexagon 1.4 is a beautiful lens, the Pentax Takumar 50 MM mic images not as sharp…
      But then I went a little bonkers and got a Leica Cl with a 23mm…
      The things we do..

    I think if you use the ovf, it is way faster at autofocusing than using the screen because it is a normal DSLR. That's what I've noticed with my 60D

    • @stefan_es
      @stefan_es Před rokem

      It turns out that a regular mirrorless camera like the M50 will be faster? I just choose a universal camera for myself after 600D and don’t know what to take. 800D or M50
