Nifty Fifty Lens...Gotta Love It!!!

Just having a little fun with my new Canon EF 50 mm, f/1.8 lens....Wow... what a lens!!!  Don't judge it by this photo because it was just for fun and no intention of capturing a really clear or sharp image, but the images that this fixed prime lens capture are pretty amazing, especially considering that the cost of the lens is far less than others.   Crisp and sharp images at your focal point, with a really nice bokeh effect in the background.  I thought that I would not adapt well to having a fixed lens, being spoiled by the ability to zoom in on my subject with an EF 70-300 mm from a good distance away, but I was wrong. Sure, this lens makes you work for your shot because zoom lenses quite honestly make the photographer a bit lazy, but I will definitely work a little harder just to have this lens as my main walk around lens.  I would highly recommend this to anyone considering the purchase.
