"Nifty Fifty" is what I started with...or also known as "Plastic Fantastic" due to it's toyish plastic casing. The 50mm 1.8 was night and day difference from the other lenses I was using. Truly amazing! That little plastic lens was my bff for several months UNTIL I upgraded. Yup, nothing better than the low f-stop of 1.2, so milky yet sharp. It's practically always on my camera body for most of my shoots. I am a prime lens kind of girl so this one hit the jackpot for me. Also, as mentioned in one of my other A Few of My Favorite Things entry, the bokeh on this baby is amazing! It's a beast and a softy all in one! But you'll have to experience it for yourself :)
Check out my teaser from last weeks Anytime photoshoot with these awesome siblings!
This photo was shot with my buddy, 50mm 1.2
ISO 320, f/2.5, 1/640
Hoping to blog more now that I'm done with finals, phew! Happy Holidays, Everyone! :)
Sweet capture! Looking to get the 1.4 early next year myself - 1.8 just randomly came apart for no apparent reason.
