50mm week

[AfroKen]

I can post more, if that's okay:

This last photo is a close-up of a band called Dengue Fever...the keyboardist playing a flute. All these photos were taken out in Joshua Tree in April 2011: Eleven Shadows Travels: Joshua Tree April 2011 - Light Painting and Skull Rock - The Desert

Canon it be about 50mm after being on a cropped camera? i.e. my 35mm Minolta lens on a 1.6x body equates to about a 50mm on a full frame. Or do I have to go out and buy a 50mm f/1.8 to play in this thread?

A 50mm is a 50mm no matter what crop factor the camera is. A 50 will yield an image much as the eye sees it, a 35 will make the subject look further away.

Buy a Soviet 50mm & an adapter for EOS on eBay & you got it made.

I just got my Canon 50mm 1.8 for Christmas. Here are a few shots I took while playing with DoF.

But 35 X 1.6 is 56mm, which is about the same as a 50mm lens on a full frame like a 5d Mark II... Oh well...

It is only the field of view that is affected by a crop body, it is like taking a pic from a full frame camera & cutting off a bit from the outside, the higher the crop factor the more you would have to cut off the picture. The image remaining is not changed from a full frame but simply cropped.

I also got the 50mm f1.8 for Christmas. Haven't really had a chance to use it for a shallow depth of field yet but I've post a few photos in a thread in the wildlife section from what I have taken with it so far.

Here's one of them
