Got my New 50mm 1.8f

He, I bought the same lens today. Canon 50mm 1.8. I love it already.

nice shots! the bokeh is awesome

I love mine. I've found f/2.8 is the sweet spot on this lens for a sharp subject with a nice bokeh in the background.

I know everyone loves the lens. I do too. But when I first got it I felt like wow this feels so flimsy!! But man does it take some sharp shots! When the light gets a little lower, manual focus is faster then auto focus since sometimes it tries to hunt for focus.

My new lens should be here today or tomorrow...man I hate living at an APO, tracking numbers don't exist haha.

Is this the canon 50 mm lens that sells for about $99 at B&H? I have been looking at that one.

Thanks

 

[xjrrrdx]

Yeah, I got it with free shipping so it was under $100

My 50mm has that same sized spec on the very same spot. Coincidence?

If it weren't for noticing it while cleaning it one day, I would have never noticed it. It doesn't show up on any of my pics. I also ran a test and took shots in different apertures on different solid colored objects to see if I could find it but never did. I never returned it and I don't regret not doing so since up til this day the spec of dust won't appear in any images.
