      My one and only lens is the Canon 85mm 1.2L II lens. I’m extremely happy with the results I get with it. It is a bit of a challenge to shoot at the 1.2 aperture. Slight movement and you risk image blur. That the weight and the price would deter some purchasing it.ReplyCancel

      The title of your article got my attention. As a professor, teaching portrait photography, I frequently have newbies in my classes and they ask me for advice on their next lens purchase (beyond the kit lens). The nifty-fifty (or fantastic-plastic) 50 f/1.8 is always my advice. After all, they are college students and money is something they seldom have a load of for extra lenses.

      Thanks for the article – I will share it with my students.

      I . a]m looking for a good workable camera primarly for outdoor and boating. Some thing with flexible lenses but simple to use ie throw it in auto and it works well most of the timeReplyCancel

        Hey William! I started out using an older Canon from the rebel series, the most recent model is the Canon t6. I think that would be a great one to use on the go and easy to use in auto:) -EmilyReplyCancel

      You know I do love my 50 mm!! After a couple of years I’ve switched over to tge canon 90 mm macro. It’s the older one, BUT I bought it for $175. It is absolutely fabulous!! Mt daughter is now getting into photography and she is using my old canon t5 with the 50 mm lens. Yep! Great investment!!ReplyCancel

        Hi Karilyn! I haven’t tried the 90mm yet, but you have me intrigued:) And awesome you’re able to share your older t5 with your daughter- that with the 50 is an excellent combo! -EmilyReplyCancel

      I agree 110% with everything you mentioned about the nifty fifty! I bought one shortly after getting my Canon T5i. Another great upgrade from the kit 70-300 is the 55-250mm with image stabilization (IS STM). It stays on my camera!ReplyCancel
