Very soft photos from f/1.4 50mm lens? Hey folks, thanks for taking a moment to read! I recently photographed a concert and noticed everything shot on my Nikkor AF f/1.4 50mm came out very soft and hazy. Here’s some examples (the first shot of each is converted right to JPG from Lightroom, the second is my attempt to salvage it). Both shots were taken on my Nikon D7500, ISO at 1600, …

50mm or the 85mm? Need advice regarding lens selection. I mostly do streets, outdoor and indoor portraits. I use D5300 which is a crop sensor. Currently using 35mm F1.8 lens. I need some more reach to capture my subjects on streets without disturbing the scene. I am looking to purchase either a 50mm or 85mm prime. My question is, should I opt for 50mm or the 85mm…

Nikon 50mm lens for Italy Hi! I just got the AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G for my Nikon d750. I’ve been using the 24-120mm Nikon lens for years and it’s worked well for me for my portraiture, event, and fashion work. I’m not use to the 50mm but so far I like it. I’m going to Italy this month with family and I’m wondering if I should take both or just the 50mm to force mysel…

I want a travel camera that does it all (AND 50mm): Leica Q2 or Fujifilm x100v? I’m set on these two models but wonder if the Q2 crop mode for 50mm would be the same as using the Fuji 50mm teleconverter? Will both have distortion for portraits? Hear me out: I have a specific need. I love shooting more wide angle (28mm and 35mm) but I also love shooting at 50mm. I really want to get rid of my huge Fuji XT4 kit (for the excep…

Sigma 17-50mm Canon Lens Stuck? Evening, I’m currently in the process of trying to fix my lens. I bought it second hand because it would only zoom from 17-19mm, I thought it’d end up being a simple fix but after reaching to the bare lens it won’t budge whatsoever, and one of the screws seemed to be threaded. I’ve tried the rubber band technique but even that wouldn’t work. I’m…

Is any of the chinese super wide 50mm’s (like 0,95 to 1.2 aperture) any good? See title. I have some fun money to spend on a lens like this. I‘m asking general but am especially interested in FE mount. I am aware that most are manual focus and 0.95 is probably hard to handle that way. Still I‘m interested. Have you tried some? Do you still use it? submitted by /u/noheadlights

18-35mm zoom vs 50mm prime lens? Hi, I’m fairly new to photography and recently purchased a camera with a Sigma 18-35mm f1.8 with an Canon 80D and a battery grip. I’m into street and portrait photography for about 2 weeks now and i feel like the lens itself is just to heavy, considering I stroll around outside for about an hour or so. I’ve heard a lot of good things about the …
