The 50 is a great one to have in anyone’s camera bag! I’ve shot a ton with it, and then got my hands on an 85mm 1.8. By far my favorite lens for portraits and cars! The compression is just too good!! 🔥💯❤️ But, with all that said, the 50 1.8 is definitely my favorite lens for indoor portraiture.

It's fun to see what people prefer as their primary lens. I prefer to use my precious 85mm lens (with my CANON! 😙) as the obvious primary fixed lens for portrait photography and it's probably mainly because I have been using it for so many years that it's become an extension of how I view and photograph the world.

50 is a lot of fun to work with. I think you can challenge yourself with it as well. It’s always my go-to “start” lens for a photos session (depending on what I’m shooting.) I was always able to shoot a lot of a wedding day with it, and I love it for portraits and details, like you said, as well as for shooting candids during events. This is the first video I’ve seen from this series, so I’m going to go back and watch the rest now! And the Facebook group is awesome! Thanks Becki!

A 50mm lens is often referred to as a “nifty fifty” because it is so versatile and easy to use. It is also an inexpensive investment that promises to improve your photography without weighing down your camera or your bag.

I've used the 50 for a while, but it never stood out to me; it kinda was like the middle lens in that i usually shoot wide or tight at 85, but seeing all the photos you took with it just gets me amped to pick up the RF one! Thanks for all the insight and fun video!!

I have the 55mm f1.8, which is very close to 50mm f1.4 but smaller and lighter. I do love how you described it! The result is looking like a home magazine when they are shooting for objects! I do understand why these lenses ( 50mm and 55mm) have become very popular for lifestyle and home decor bloggers!

Thanks, I love this series. Just got my first real camera, a Fuji XS-10 with the 15-45mm (FF equivalent 22.5-67) kit, which is great for all around. I actually love going into the telephoto range of my kit and I plan on getting a 35mm next (FF equivalent 52mm). That "background compression" makes it look very unique compared to all the smartphone photography out there. Not to mention, all the manufacturers have affordable fast 50mm equivalent options (for Fuji, the XC 35mm f2).
