Sonnar on a tractor? oh yes. Beautifully rendered by this terrific lens. UV filter, no hood, cloudy overcast day.

f2.8

f11

There have been some threads recently comparing the Canon 50/1.8 to other lenses. Seems like a good time to bump this thread.

love that last shot!

 

[porktaco]

yeah, she's a pretty great subject.

I'm impressed by the shots guys. Wish I could find one of these for a decent price. Off to do a search.

So what do these lenses go for? I have a heavy chrome version (Type 4) I am not using I will put up on the classifieds just not sure what to put it up for.

 

[alexnotalex]

chrome version, lovely!

Of course, porktaco's charming subject will probably start rejecting all photography attempts in about a year...

 

[alexnotalex]

hope i have a few more years with this one...

Just great at f2
Kodak 400cn needed a little black and white conversion in Aperture, and a curve tweak. Lens is great.

This is now the only lens I have for my M4-P and I don't think I'll ever need another! (For a few weeks anyway.)

All HP5 by the way.

The Canon 50mm f1.8 LTM has been the only lens on my M2 for the last 3 years. No plans to change it.

I don't own one of these, but I love the pictures in this thread. Anyone who thinks they need a more expensive 50mm lens is kidding themselves. Great stuff, especially porktaco & cjm.
