2. Great pic’s…. I have bought the 50mm for taking my baby’s portrait pic’s. It looks like there is more than portraits what 50mm can offer. I have a 55-300mm telephoto lens… I haven’t used it extensively so far. I have a plan to sell it and buy a wide angle lens… is 55-300mm a jewel in a crown?

   1. Hi, Dinesh. The choice of lens depends on how you want to use the lens. A 55-300mm lens can be used to for some decent wild life/bird photography, candid shots, and good for some portraits as well. So, a tele photo lens helps you to get more reach. Thus, you cannot really replace a telephoto lens with a wide angle lens since each of them is meant for completely different things. I would suggest you to use the tele photo lens for some time, and if you find that you are not really into taking wildlife/bird, candid photography, then you can sell. 50mm prime lens is a versatile lens (Read my post on why you should use a 50mm https://shutterstoppers.com/top-8-reasons-buy-50mm-lens/) , and is one of my favorite lenses.

      1. Awesome pictures….
         But to take these types of pictures photographers must have a great knowledge in lighting otherwise lens can’t do anything. But form now on i’ll use 50mm for most probably for every photography. Thanks for the article.

   1. Hi Rachit,

      I was in a similar position a month ago 🙂 After many days of extensive research, I decided to go with the Nikkor 50mm 1.4 G. Fantastic, creamy (and very dreamy :)) bokeh, inexplicable image clarity and colors.

8. Hi Vidhu! I am in the process of buying my first DSLR and am researching lenses so your website is a Godsend. I have read your pieces on 50mm / reverse macro / sample images and I have two questions:
   a) I am looking at the canon 50mm lenses and what would you say is the advantage of choosing a 1.8 v. a 1.4. v a 1.2?

   b) Does it matter? The canon rebel that I am looking at comes with a standard 18-55mm kit lens but it’s so bulky so I’d like a portable all-rounder. Do you think the 40mm would make an equally suitable all rounder? What difference do those 10mm make?

   Thanks in advance for being patient with my beginner questions.

9. Although the 50mm in an under appreciated lens, I really prefer the 40mm focal length on full frame. That lens is what some people call “just right”. I tend to agree. I sold my 50 after shooting with the 40. The Voigtlander 40/F2 Aspherical is a fast enough lens. Great sharpness, color & contrast with a Leica look to it. I can never go back to the 50mm length.

10. These are all great shots! I especially like the skater one. I love my 50mm though and eventually I’d like to get a 35 to see what I like more.

11. Stunning photos which show off the versatility of such a great lens. There is no way I could live without a 50mm lens. I even created a project back in 2007. To photography everything I could with the lens but always at f/1.8, completely changed my photography.
