    The *50mm f/1.4* is probably my favorite lens, and is *ALWAYS* on location in my camera bag, ready to go. *What's your favorite go-to lens?*

      I’m a Canon guy - The 50mm f1.4 is my go to night time and portrait lens. The 40mm f2.8 pancake is my walkaround daytime lens.

      @RunNGunPhoto  Рік тому +2

      Sounds like a great combo! When I'm shoot film, my AE-1 has my 50mm f/1.8 on 95% of the time.

      I have the canon 50 1.4 as well, one of my favorites as well. The 50 1.8 is so cheap tho that theres no reason not to have one. I also got a Tokina 17-35 f4 which is probably the best cheap alternative to the insanely expensive 16-35 L that all the real estate photographers love. Its my go to for wide angle stuff.

    You're preaching to the choir here, I LUV the nifty-fifty lens for it's perspective and FAST sharpness! It was my first Nikon lens and then I upgraded to a 24-70mm and I'm ready for anything!

    • @RunNGunPhoto

    I don't like the 50mm 1,8 plastic thing. I have one...I also have an EF 50 1,4. I like it better. :) But I do just portraits, my go to is the EF 85mm 1,8.

    Great video. I have a Nikon 50mm f1.4. It’s a great lens in a crunch. It’s often a back up for my Nikon 85mm f1.4 if anything was to ever happen or for some reason I forget to bring the 85mm.

    If I have an aps-c sensor, is my nifty 50 really a 30mm lens?

    • @RunNGunPhoto
      @RunNGunPhoto  Рік тому +1

      More like 70 to 85mm.
      A crop sensor "zooms" in, not out.

    • @Audimann
      @Audimann Рік тому

      ​@@RunNGunPhotoA 50mm on apsc would result in a field of view that correspondents with 75mm on a fullframe sensor camera but the focal length of your lens stays 50mm. A apsc sensor just takes a crop of the full frame picture so narrowing your field of view.

      Sorry Joshua, I don't make the rules. I agree that it's strange to have such a common nickname for only one lens. What about a "Ride or Die 35"? 🧐
