I’d have to agree. Using the 50mm on my 7D was fun, but it felt too tight for comfortable street photography. But at 1.8, especially for the price, it’s a great lens. It’s much more fun on a full frame body.
So maybe a 35mm for the crop would be better?

Or even the 1.2 L! But a 50mm 1.8 + more expensive lens might be more up his alley.

I like the framing, I think it works best in color though!

I like how the brush creates a frame, but it feels heavy on the right side. Do you have a larger size for me to look at?

I like the feel of this photo, it’s slightly ominous but inviting. The moving/blurred sand at the bottom is somewhat distracting though, but overall I like it.

One of my favorite lenses, actually. Might save up for a 1.2 version, or the 85mm 1.2 if I can get the money together!

Update:
With some luck, I had money to order the thing through Amazon. (a gift card or two and saved up cash) and got it today. I have to admit, I’m pretty damn happy.
Two test shots with the 50mm f/1.8:
Click on each image to see a large version.
Will be testing it out a bit more after work tonight and then in Santa Cruz this weekend. Pretty happy.

There’s something I don’t like about the photo but I can’t put my finger on it. It does seem a little underexposed, and the subject leaves me wanting for it to bloom to enjoy it.
Nice smooth and creamy bokeh though.

Yeah I’m 50/50 on color of B&W. I definitely agree that the color helps separate the subject a bit more. I will play with the B&W, I think a little editing can help.
Thanks for the feedback!

I have around $1400 ready at the moment. 5D Mk II is listed $2,199 at Amazon. No tax + Prime account + amazon’s return reliability is my reason for wanting it from Amazon.

Definitely a mix, but (fast) moving subjects is definitely to the lower end of most of the photography that I do. I enjoy street photography and landscape at the moment, and like playing with Macro.
