p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · How often do you use your 50mm?


I like the focal length but I never use it. I much prefer a more dramatic look from a wide or long lens. I really like 35mm, 20mm, 16mm, 85mm, 135mm, 200mm.

Post some 50mm shots to inspire me

Thanks all.

Since I got the 50 art, 50% of the day or more. Before that, 35 art was king.

50, then 35, then 85, then 135.

I was using it so much that I forced myself to get used to the S35 Art when I picked it up and stopped using the 50 completely. Now that I've fully embraced the S35 I might start using the S50 Art that I picked up at the same time.

Had 3 Nikon 50/1.4Gs. Used them a bit but never liked them and sold them all.

24/1.4G gets me through 80% of my day. Used to use a 85/1.4G also, but I'm heavily using the 58/1.4G for details/close-ups due to smaller spaces.

never use it on weddings, it's too fast paced. If I have to use 50mm I use my 24-70 2.8 II (canon). It's as sharp as a prime.

I use a 50 a lot. Much more than I use a 35 - even though I do have the Sigma 35 Art.

I love my 50 but I dont use it much for weddings though, I use it for portraits and my product photos for my retail business.

This. I don't remember the last time I use my 50.

I use it all the time for the getting ready and the reception details.

Almost always wide open at 1.4, because why bother if you're not shooting it wide open.

Sometimes a lot, sometimes not so much. Depends on the room, the light, everything. I'm usually pretty glad I have it when I need it though.

Since January, I can distinctly remember the 4 times I've used my 50mm 1.4G.

There was a time a few years ago where the 50mm is all I used.

It's fairly ironic as my main film camera is my Rolleiflex T, and the 80mm medium format focal length is a 50mm equivalent. But for me, square format > focal length.

I now have 3 50mm lenses and it is my least used FL.
Lately I have been forcing myself to use the 50mm FL more and have been doing so especially on my D3 and F100. It makes a great portrait lens and I can get in a little closer instead of having to be further away with the 85.

I am going to be doing a 50mm shootout soon with my 50 1.8G, 50mm F2 planar, and 50mm f1.4 e46 Summilux. I will report findings about each lens.

Ever since I got the new Sigma 50mm, I have been using my 50 quite a bit more. I still tend to the 35/85 combo for most of the day, but the 16-35 or 24/50 combo has been seeing a lot more action...especially during prep time

I Love it for my portraits, its my go to. I just did a three day mini fall family sessions in a field across from my house and used it all three days.

I almost never use my 50mm, infact it's been sitting in my closet for the past 6 months. Haven't missed it since I got a 35 f1.4 and 85 f1.4

I use 50L quite a bit. Followed by 85 & 24. 85/24 use depends on situation-location of wedding.
Some wedding more 24 and other 85.

The 50 is pretty constant.
