Canon EF 50mm f1.8 II
Monday March 29th, 2010

Even before I bought my new camera, I already knew that sometime I would get a "Nifty Fifty" with a really big aperture for it. They allow you to make real nice photos with creative blur effects because the depth of field is very narrow. This makes these lenses very suitable for portrait photos. I just had to get one!

Fortunately, these lenses are also really cheap. There are no fancy zooming mechanisms in them, which means that they are really simple and therefore cheap. Another plus is that because there is no quality loss due to the zooming mechanisms, these so-called "prime lenses" produce extremely sharp pictures. I can't wait to make some photos with my new baby Bigsmile
