Not only does Bill Bumgarner explain the benefits of a 50mm lens more coherently than I do, he also has a slick title. Read about The Nifty Fifty. I’ve been using my 50mm a few weeks now. I must admit I was surprised at how close the 50mm gets. I still have lots to learn with this lens but man am I liking what I’m getting so far.
