Why a 50mm Lens is your new Best Friend

[weepete]

I find i dont shoot a lot between 24-150mm.

I suppose these types of topic are very user opinion specific. It is sometimes hard to say a whether a 50mm or indeed any other focal length lens is good/bad/indifferent. The quality of a specific model can be debated better. The focal length (though always remaining the same- not this debate ) serves different purposes on different format cameras. One would not likely have the same general purpose on a 4/3rds as on a full frame

Most people that shoot with film have a few different 50mm lenses because they render the subject in different ways

50mm is great, but it's not automatically perfect for you. An 85mm can be your new best friend. So could a 100mm, or a 135mm, or a 35mm, or a 24mm.
