7D & 50 1.8 test shots
Morning Folks,
I played around with ma 7D and nifty fifty yesterday morning. The following shots were taken wide open. I was very impressed. The other 7 or 8 shots were just as impressive. My old 5D with the 50 produced similar shots as well, wide open. The only thing I'm not crazy about is the shutter sound, which sounds cheap. Other then that, the 7D seems like a really good camera. Thanks for looking :thumb
Have a good day

50mm 1.8 is one of the best $100 lens
Good Afternoon Brett,
I agree When I bought my 50 1.8 years ago, I think it was only $84 then. Still a very good light weight lens without a doubt.
Have a good afternoon

Good Morning,
Canon added that lens (refurbished) to it's 20% (holiday) discount yesterday for $80 and change. Unfortunately, it's out of stock this morning. Hopefully, It'll be back in stock sometime today. With Tax + the $7 (2nd day) shipping, it's around $92. That's a deal

Good Morning Jim,
Lots of people like the 50 1.4. It is a good lens. Not sure what you mean regarding the plastic vs glass statement. The elements in both 50's are glass. The 1.8 has a plastic mount, rather then a metal mount. If you drop a plastic bottle from a 2nd story window, I'm pretty sure it'll still be in one piece when it hits the pavement, unlike the glass that will shatter everywhere. Thanks for the comments

Good Evening Jim,
I don't think Canon cut too many corners off a budget lens. I've had mine for over 6 yrs now. The iq is very good for a $100 lens, on par with a $325 lens, as you stop down slightly. Granted, the build quality isn't great, but not bad either. I use mine in tunnels and in manholes where available light is limited to either sunlight or miners' lights only. I've slipped on quite a few ladders, banged the camera and even dropped it, but never had a problem with either. The images I posted show what this $100 lens can do wide open. At that price, I'll buy 2 more, (if ever needed) rather then spend $325 on a lens that does the same thing. It's a no brainer.
Have a good night
Jim...
