ghillies 209 Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 (edited) is it the f/1.8? does some nice close ups on smaller things but the depth of in focus gets a bit lively lol.(time for the ruler and tri pod maybe..) have fun.

Dawn B 212 Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 Its a great lens for the price Kay, seen some great shots with it. I have the f/2.5 macro 50mm, equally pleased. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

With a bit of luck i will be able to take some pics from my mothers garden tomorrow to get to grips with the focus .. it will be a good learning curve if nothing else Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The pie was a coop one & very nice it was too i am unsure what setting to use with this lens to be honest .. i tried all of them but find on this 20d body on manual & tv it isnt beeping when the focus is in the centre .. so i think to really test myself i will stick to manual so i am having to work at it to get it right .. its not like i have anyone waiting for a photo so i can take my time & see what i come up with Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BellySlater 15 Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 Its not called the niffty fifty for nothing. One of the best focal lenses for portraits (imo). You can have some great fun with the depth of field and it produces great results....enjoy, looking forward to see the results. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Coyotehunter 689 Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 Hey Kay , good choice of lens, this lens is a great bit of kit, every Photographer should have one, and best of all its relatively cheap. not to hijack your thread but this is one of my favorites with my "Nifty" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
