Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM Lens
I just got my new Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM Autofocus Lens today. I have to confess, I am still nervous of shooting with a lens that is not a zoom lens.
This 50mm lens will be a good choice for my Portrait Sessions, but I am not so sure if that will be a good choice for my Event Photography. I still have to try it in a real event to to be sure how confortable I will be with this new lens.
This Saturday, I will be shooting a Bar Mitzvah and I will have this lens in one of my Canons. I shot some test shots few minutes ago (look the pictures here), and looks that this lens is very sharp. And because is a f/1.4 USM I can shoot even in low light situations.
In a month or so I will be buying the Canon Zoom Telephoto EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM Autofocus Lens. That wiill be a very good treat to myself.
In few days I will be posting some pictures that I shot with the 50mm. OK?
And don’t forget to save the date JUNE 22, 2008 (SUNDAY 10:00 am) for our Fort Lauderdale Photowalk. OK?

I have a 50mm f/1.8 for my Nikon D40x. I like the sharpness and the f/1.8 aperture, although it doesn’t do auto focus on the D40x since it lacks an internal motor. Manual focus can be tricky, but when I get it right, it’s amazingly sharp.
