[noob sniper]

aiyoh! everyone is getting mixed up with numbers!!!

I think what he means is the Minolta 50mm f/1.7 lens.;p

 

[Spectrum]

Ditto for me.
I like using my 20 and 85 primes too.

This is good if you use it on a film body. For digital, 85 is better.:think:

50mm 1.8 :thumbsup:
sharp, cheap and good
cant say too much.. lol

 

[itsybitsyspidy]

I own a 50mm f1.8 myself.

Some people own both 50mm(1.4/1.8) and 35mm f/2. Is there alot of difference by that 15mm? Or would you rather get the 24/28mm? :dunno:

hmmm..
some people would say that 50mm is neither here nor there. i.e. it's too tele to be a wide angle lens, and too wide to be a tele.

i personally own a 50mm 1.8. haha. like the zero-distortion that it offers. heh.

It was the case for film.. But for DX, it has become a useful length.

well i always felt the other way, that the 50mm isnt so useful for the dslrs and its a beautiful focal length for a 35mm frame : )

Which range of prime lens do you own. To keep things simple, i have left out the specific model. Perhaps this would allow us to see which are the popular range of angles.

enjoy!

50mm f/1.4
28mm f/1.4
50mm f/1.8

i think you're a bit confused, 50mm on a digi isnt 75mm , its actually 80mm but no focal length because the size of the matrice doesnt change the focal length but the crop , so you have a lens of 50mm with a crop of a 80mm lens.

Care to run that by me one more time... I dun quite get it...
