I finally got around to buy a Canon 50mm 1.8 lens. It's the standard low-end Canon lens, that despite all of that is a real gem! It is super sharp, and gives you an extremely great depth of field. As you will see in the images that follow, this is a must-have for any photographer.
I am using this lens day in and out. It's a great lens to have with you, and I think it really helps in everyday photography.

This was my third lens that I purchased, the latest....and I love it {wish it had a touch of zoom though}. Your photos with it are WONDERFUL, Mersad!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Heather! I guess you just have to get used to the fact that there is no zoom, and then it works. I also keep constantly reaching for the lens in order to zoom in. :D
ReplyDeleteI also have this lens and love it. Best lens ever for this price. And you do it justice - your photos here are all beautiful. I'm going to follow your blog. I you you will come back and visit me soon.
ReplyDeleteThank you Karen. I'm already following your beautiful blog. You're images are amazing!
ReplyDeleteHooray for you! I am saving for a 70-200 2.8.
ReplyDeleteDid you buy it in the meantime?
Deletethanks for sending me the link, i have not tried it on scenery at all and I tried to get Bob to let me try portrait but he is not playing well. this is inspiring... Beni is my favorite, so cute and sweet.. thanks again
ReplyDeleteNo problem, as I said, just try and try and eventually it will work they way you want it to.
DeleteThis was a very helpful and thoughtful review of the Canon 50mm f/1.8 lens and its performance in portrait photography. I really appreciated how you included test images and real‑world examples showing how the lens handles skin tones, background blur, and low‑light situations. The affordable “nifty fifty” primes are often many photographers’ first step into creative portrait work, and your review clearly explains why this lens remains such a popular choice — lightweight, sharp, and capable of producing pleasing bokeh at wide apertures. For anyone researching the Best canon lens for portraits photography, your post gives practical insight into how an affordable prime like the 50mm f/1.8 can deliver professional‑looking results without breaking the bank. Thanks for sharing your testing experience and sample shots.
