I frequently shoot portraits at 2.8 with my 50 mm. It sharpens up nicely and you still get nice bokeh in the background. If I use it for landscapes I'm usually anywhere from 5.6 to f8 and its great!

[@jriis2010]

As a newcomer, it is tempting for me to set it to 1.8, just because i can, and the more light, the better, but you have shown me, that 2.8 is actually much better in those situations. Thanks :-)

[@Twobarpsi]

1.8 is such a shallow focal plane as well, especially for portraits. You might get the eyes in focus, but the ears might not. Also 1.8 increases your chances of the camera missing focus.

[@TheJoshuaPeg]

Very good points mate 👍🏼

[@sebastiantreloar6045]

True it also depends on how close you are to your subject. Taking a few steps back will bring give you a deeper focal plane. That's why macro photography is such a thin plane because your soo close even tho the f stop might be at f22 or more. Also why 85mm or 105mm and 135mm are such good portrait lens you can get loads of bokeh and have your subject fill the frame and be in focus because you have to stand so far back 😆

Been using a Canon 50mm 1.8 for the past 5 years. I always saw good photographers avoid extreme apertures, but no one mentioned the loss of sharpness. Wish I knew this earlier. As I browse through all my favourite shots, all I can do is lament :(

[@Crazy_Dashcam_Videos]

That's an artistic choice. Film didn't use to be tack sharp. Nothing wrong with going with a softer photo.

[@anthonyrock5039]

@@Crazy_Dashcam_Videos true. Looking at the most famous photos ever taken as well as Looking at lenses of the time. They were for the most part pretty slow by today's standards and rarely shot wide open. But in this days, composition was paid attention to as well as environmental there was not the crutch that there is today on the instagram photo pro to rely on to have a "good" photo. It is a matter of taste but understanding what qualities change throught the range will help anyone to take memorable images.

[@fiddleandfart]

@@Crazy_Dashcam_Videos So true! I shot on film for sixty years on so many cameras, before going digital, and sure, focus was important, but there wasn't this obsession with edgy sharpness there is today... And I actually liked film grain! So many of the classic shots of photo history are not necessarily super-sharp. They're simply great pictures, for a thousand other reasons. The world of photography has become so nerdy - always the pursuit of better kit... and now the obsession with full-frame cameras that we're all supposed to aspire to. And it's catching! I've recently upgraded from a Nikon D3300, on which I shot great pictures, to a Nikon D7500, and am already wondering if I should change again! But with a bunch of Nikon DX lenses to support it, that would probably be mad. Ha! Got to be strong. Use the tech as a tool to take great pictures, eh? Not become obsessed with tech over photography!

[@goldenfrog6EsCoSes]

I wholeheartedly agree. I've taken some of my best photographs with this lens, yet I rarely stop it down to its widest. It's cheap and super sharp, even on the Canon 90D, which is supposed to be unforgiving of budget lenses. I must say, though, that I never worry about chromatic aberration: it's so easy to get rid of in post.

[@LongNguyen-qg3ue]

Yup. I usually shoot mine at f/2.2 for this very reason.

I just bought my first camera and I do the same with my 35mm.

[@prasanthk1768]

No actually not. It also advantage of light, bokeh, and it will help u to take photo in low ISO.

[@carmenfissenden2530]

I concur with what you advised . For me a good prime does not have to be faster than 2.8 as I will often shoot between 5.6 and f8 to ensure I have the best sharpness possible and will use a telephoto to blur background and move in closer to achieve that look with a standard lens. However , landscape and portraiture benefit from isolating the background and using a background that creates a three d effect . Finally , using a lens wide open , even on a tripod can still produce an imperfect image if you have not correctly nailed your focus and here, is where the choice of the f stop can nail it every time . Thanks for the video and it is something I think others should address in their videos too. Well done! You nailed it perfectly .

[@paulsehstedt450]

Many non professional and beginner photographers get an expensive camera body and lower quality lenses. It should be the other way round: buy the best lenses and then a body, you can afford. It's the lens, that does matter. My advice to beginners is, to buy a high quality 50 mm / f. 1.4 - 2.0 and a camera body without too many features. If they get familiar with this simple set, they can always add more lenses like a 24 and 90 mm. It's a good combo, if you're not shooting birds, macro, sport etc. But you're right saying full aperture isn't easy to handle always and to step down to 2.8 or 4.0 will give better results in landscape photography. Keep on rolling!

[@marekward6202]

Nice to hear a heads up for bokeh or selective focusing. There's far too many grumpy photographers online that think any landscape shots taken with an aperture wider than F16 or focus stacked are somehow below standard

Joshua, Thank you for posting your informative video on how to better use a 50 mm 1.8 lens. I have heard good things about the Canon 50 mm 1.8 lens. I am a Church photographer and recently purchased the Nikkor Z 50 1.8 S lens. I watch many videos to learn how and when to use the lens. I am surprised to learn that a wedding photographer uses a 50 mm all day at an event; her photos clearly showed it is possible. I liked that you encourage using different aperture and shutter speed settings and that the 50 mm can do quite well as a landscape lens. This information is helpful since I will take photos during large building Church services. Dan

[@paulbarnett1461]

Partly.... Back in the days when these lenses were first used, they were intended to be used with film SLRs - where the brightness of the image in the viewfinder was directly related to the aperture of the lens wide open. F1.8 was just there to make the camera easier to use - especially when (manually) focusing: no one expected you to actually take the shot wide open - it was just for viewing and focusing. Of course, later, people found good reasons to actually take pictures wide open too.....

[@NewGopis]

I only have one lens, a 50mm 1.8, and I find it easy to set up outdoors. However, indoors, even with additional lighting, I find it a bit challenging.

[@christopherberry8519]

With all lenses, when going for bokeh, use live-view and if possible also DOF preview to focus - it's more accurate as there's always a focus shift with aperture changes - especially with the older EF 50mm on a crop sensor body. One tip I have is use aperture bracketing! - You could also stack the photos in post as wide open you don't get the best contrast...

[@saraklute6919]

I do the 50mm challenge with myself and just take my Nikon 1.4 50MM out and just see what I can get. I did notice things get super soft at wider aperture but sometimes it works for some situations of course.

[@BikesAndBatallas]

It's almost akin to a motor. There are absolutely times where you want to be driving around at low RPM and, conversely, where you want to have it at redline. But the motor is meant to be operated somewhere in the powerband, not lugging or redlining. That's where the optics, machining, and tolerances shine.

[@thomasgoetze]

Well, I'm in love with my 50mm lenses (Zeiss, Minolta, Sony, Nikon, etc. f1.4 to f2.8, old and new glasses). I use them often wide open. The problems you describe occur on them more or less. The Minolta MD 50mm f2 build 1981 stands out with an excellent performance. On the other hand, the Leica Q, which has a 28mm f1.7 lens, doesn't have problems like that. Wide open is the to go choice for most of the pictures I made. There are of course unsharp areas, but they are smooth and prikle the picture to make them deep. Also high contrast is no problem after opening the DNG files with manufacturer lens profile correction. There might be a chance of a glimp of reason why they are so unbelievable expensive …

Great work, but… one nit pick (sorry). 02:25 this would be correct on 35mm film, or with a full frame sensor, but not an APS-C sensor with its 1.5/1.6x crop factor (like your Canon 250D). Not to mention those with MFT cameras. Don’t get me wrong, I love 50mm lenses, I have more of them than I’d like to admit, but whereas I use them as a standard lens on full frame (Canon/Nikon), I use them as a short tele / portrait lens on APS-C (Fujifilm). The only point I’d like to make is that the usage / character of a “nifty fifty” depends on the crop factor.

[@TheJoshuaPeg]

This is true. I meant it more in the sense of lens distortion (as crop cameras don't distort lenses any more/less than full frame, it's simply a narrower FOV) but I should've made that clearer in what I said maybe.

Of course, it does have VC, which while always a good thing, has become more important to me over the years, if you take my meaning.

This morning with the 50mm f1.8 out at the beach was one of those learning moments which helped things make sense for me.

This was a wonderful demonstration. This is the first video that I have seen from you, I don’t usually subscribe right away but it was your heartfelt thank you in the end that clinched the deal. Subscribed! Looking forward to more! Thank you so much!
