THE CANON EF 50MM F/1.8 STM LENS
Brand new Canon EF 50mm (aka Nifty fifty) f/1.8 STM lens with metal bayonet mount up for sale. (£85) The auto focus is very silent and manual focus ring runs like butter. The price is negotiable, but no low ballers. A PRIME LENS FORCES YOU TO THINK Perspective and composition are very important aspects in photography. A zoom lens can result in a lazy attitude, where you try to get the shot from the position you are standing already. With a prime lens, you cannot zoom, and will be forced to walk around or choose a different angle. This will definitely help you to get more creative. AMAZING DEPTH OF FIELD Most of all, a prime lens like this one gives you the possibility to play with depth of field, and in the meantime familiarise yourself with basic concepts such as focus and aperture. Below are just two of the many beautiful examples of the results you can achieve with this lens. PRIMES ARE CRAZY SHARP If you don’t want a blurry background, a prime is still your best friend. Because the lens is not as complex as a zoom lens, the lens can be completely optimised for sharpness and image quality. Even though this is a relatively cheap lens, the image quality is define. GREAT FOR LOW-LIGHT PHOTOGRAPHY We have seen how the large F1.8 aperture enables a very shallow depth of field. Next to that, this is also great for low-light photography. A larger aperture can capture more light, and helps you to do hand-held shots at night, or to keep your ISO setting as low as possible.. Ad ID:
