[@vikorbracho]

That bokeh with 1.4 tho :o

[@kevindiaz3459]

LOL, I can see your point there. I actually stopped recommending the 1.4 since the 1.8 is cheaper and does so well. Both are better off stopping down to avoid soft focus and aberrations anyway, so you end up shooting with about the same settings. For that, might as well get the cheaper one.

[@O.G.H.]

@@vikorbracho It isn't really worth the additional 200+ dollars imo. The bokeh os really not that much better

[@jerrycdc8421]

Here have your self a cookie

[@MrFreeDance]

Keep in mind that this Version is a STM (a must for a 6d Mark II) that allow you to shot video with the AF method: Live 1-point AF and then choose "Movie Servo AF speed." "AF speed" from 0 to -4. In this way you can focus a video like a cinematic pro camera!!! S l o w l y. (other compatiblle Lenses are the EF 24-105mm F/3.5-5.6 IS STM) Good video :-)

I kind of thought the same thing. All I ever hear is how great that lens is for it's price.

[@tomdonaghy8757]

Totally agree. my 50/1.8 is a go-to workhorse. Put your camera on a tripod (the sharpest lens you will ever have is called a tripod) and wow. I use it mostly at F4. But is is quite versatile. Most of my portraits come off this lens.

[@mineclashtv9709]

​@@tomdonaghy8757 Yeah, don't get me wrong - the 50mm f1.8 is an amazing lens. It's just the video title that annoyed me a little, expected something different than a fifty like every other photographer in this universe already recommends. It is most definitely not "underrated". Perhaps 35mm is underrated? 85mm?

Whoops. I just became $125 poorer. 🙃

[@Aerylithe]

Haha I love it’s that easy for you! How did it go so far?

[@joostvisser6508]

@@Aerylithe I have one as well, and here is a short review. TL;DR at the bottom. It's certainly worth it. $125 is very cheap for a lens and certainly for an F/1.8 lens. Bokeh is pretty soft which I like. There is some chromatic aberration, but very little, especially for the price. It's also great if you want to dabble in astrophotography. You can easily gather enough light to photograph the milky way or Orion constellation, without buying a star tracker (if you use proper technique of course). There are a few things tho to think about if you consider this lens: The manual focus is motor controlled, which is somewhat annoying because it's not uncommon for the motor to just not respond to me rotating the focus wheel. I need to change to AF and back to MF for the motor to respond again. Not sure how common this bug is though, so your mileage may vary. Also, the look through the viewfinder is not entirely representative of the actual picture you get, at least with my camera. The focus point is at the same distance but objects that are out of focus are more out of focus in the actual image vs the viewfinder. The bokeh is also a lot harsher in the viewfinder. Nothing deal-breaking, just something worth pointing out. Another thing to think about is that you really need to confirm that the lens is actually autofocussing on the subject of interest at F/1.8. I was taking some portraits of my mother the other day and it was only in the postprocessing that I noticed that the camera autofocussed on her scarf instead of her face. You'd think "Whatever, those are basically the same distance anyways", especially since she was standing a good 10 feet away from the camera, but it did matter because her face was slightly out of focus, and people with very untrained eyes noticed that immediately. But this is an inherent thing with any F/1.8 lens, so nothing specific to this one, and you can always close the aperture a little. I know so far this post has talked mostly about the quirks it has, but honestly, this lens performs so well that those things are really nothing to lose sleep over. It's absolutely awesome and even if you want to use it for the sole purpose of learning how to shoot at F/1.8 for when you get a better lens down the line, this guy is 100% worth it. TL;DR It has a few small quirks but it's also so much value for the money that if you can afford it, don't even hesitate on getting it.

I would not call the 50mm 1.8 underrated in any way. Look at ANY article or video on budget Canon lenses and you will see this lens. It's recommended everywhere and hailed as the holy grail of cheap lenses. I don't disagree that it should be in most people's camera kits, but I can't say I agree with it being underrated.

[@khell1169]

underrated means it doesn't get the credit it deserves, which is what you're describing. Think you might be misunderstanding what that term means. It's a good thing!

[@Antiganos]

Underrated meaning that people usually assume it's just for beginners but actually punches beyond it's weight. Not unknown, which it is certainly not.

The 50 was my first budget lens I ever bought back in 2012. Even with my go-to 18-35, 24, 70-200, etc. I still use that 50 to this day.

[@gabemichael_ai]

DadVerb this was my first Lens as well.

[@armaniskandar3967]

is there a huge difference when you use an 18 - 85 versus just a 50? i mean like, 18-85 can still do a 50.

[@dadverb]

I'd say the biggest differentiator is that the 50 can get down to f/1.8 for excellent depth shots. I think the Canon 15-85 can only go to f/3.5 which is limiting when it comes to creating depth or getting great bokeh. I don't normally use a 15-85 for my videos, but with some zoom lenses, you may get some cropping on occasion depending on the sensor. Also, primes traditionally have slightly better quality, though zooms have gotten much better lately.

[@armaniskandar3967]

DadVerb oh sweet. im thinking of getting one. do you think i should just buy a 14mm since i already have 18 - 85? saves money dont you think? or i should buy 50mm nevertheless

[@dadverb]

Great question. Hard to say since I'm not too sure what kind of stuff you enjoy shooting. Personally, I'd get a 50 just to have on hand but a 14 is great for wider shots. Maybe landscapes or vlogging.

[@SankarshanGhosh]

[@ClayBowen]

Haha ikr!

[@RamLimko]

Some small correction: The focal length that you actually gonna get is always 50 mm, no matter what camera you use. But on APS-C sensor the frame size is gonna look like 80mm lens on full frame, and you are not gonna get the same results with APS-C + 50mm and full frame + 80mm (same aperture) in terms of depth of field. Because you still have the 50mm focal length, but the image is cropped... ;) However, nice video for beginners like me :D

[@looneyburgmusic]

Something I learned a VERY long time ago is that "Inexpensive" no longer means "Cheap". The production costs for just about everything you can think of have gotten so ridiculously low, while technology just keeps marching forward, that even something like a decent-to-high quality camera lens can be manufactured and sold for a fraction of the cost/price ratio that would have been required even a decade ago. As a semi-pro-hope-to-be-fulltime-photographer-someday, I'm getting shots today with a $600 digital + $300 - $500 lens that far surpass the best shots I ever got with my first "real" film camera back in the late 80s that cost over $2000 for camera + lens. Could I do even better if I were to drop four or five grand more on gear? Sure. But do I have to right now? Not at all.

Hey guys! If you're REEEALLLY on a budget, there's also the Yongnuo 50 mm lens. Same F 1.8 capability, same focal length, it's basically meant to be a dupe of the canon lens. And this baby is only $50. I got mine on amazon. So if you reeeally are on a tight budget, this lens works amazing. I've been using it for years and I love it. I do think it is made out of plastic though, which can be a downside if you really do tend to throw your lenses around. But other than that, it is supposed to perform identically.

Late breaking 2020 question for Peter or any experts! I've been filming with the Sony 16-55 f2.8/G lens set at 24mm. If you check out the video that results, would I be better off getting a prime 24mm? The 2.8 lets a lot of light in but I do film in darker conditions since it's lit by ambient colored RGB LEDs. I'm wondering if I got a 1.4 or 1.8 prime if it'd be better. I get some "sweet bokeh" now, but more is better! I don't want to link the video here, that'd be egregious, but if you go to my channel it's the "Shop Talk 01" episode.

For Canon shooters, a 35mm on a crop sensor camera would be 56mm and if you're shooting on a micro 4/3's camera with a crop sensor of 200, you'd need to get a 25mm lens to get a 50mm equivalent.

First lens I bought besides my 18-135. Great lens! Great for portraits and close ups without owning a dedicated macro

[@30dk09]

Me too. And I also use 50mm more than 18-135. MAybe it's just a feeling because 18-135 is my kit lens, so 50mm is like an addition.

[@user-ws8bv9ue5c]

Not underrated at all

[@flowvisualmedia5993]

"Most UnDeRrAtEd" Bro I hate f* this lens.. Only cause every "semi-pro" praises it until they stop using it after 6 months😂

[@Mental_Fortitude]

This was the first lens I ever bought and has served me so well, especially for cinematography too.

[@andreitoma9737]

It is good for recordings ?

[@VasilikisBeautyTips]

I am very lucky, my husband bought me this lens and I loooooove it!!!! I film with it my close ups for the eye makeup tutorials and I see a huge difference!

Nifty 50 is the name of top 50 indian stocks in share market. 😂 👍 Just sharing.

[@birdie2580]

watched this vid a few days ago went out and got a 50mm and cant live without i now

[@darylcheshire1618]

Way back in the 1980s they used to provide a 50mm as a kit lens with every SLR.

[@swinde]

They were also all "Full Frame" for film.

[@syedhassanb080]

You always make REALLY satisfying sounds with your mouth. Like now you did ' whooop ' wide aperture thing . Really like that 😄

[@FutureChaosTV]

It is amazing! The only downside is that it acts like a 80mm on my 80D. So, indoors is really difficult unless you need detail shots.

[@Nxrth2001]

@rickydegove did u buy it?

[@Nxrth2001]

@rickydegove i'm covered on the 24 already with my zoom lens. but that's all I have. I was thinking of going for the 50mm on my crop sensor for portraits and stuff, the nice bokeh blur looks very nice. I know I'll have to stand a good distance away for the photo, but still thinking I'll go for it. Worst case scenario, I'll use my zoom lens if there isn't space for me to back away from the subject

[@Haywain]

I’ve always had one of these. I remember, pre digital, when every camera came with the manufacturers version of the lens for their camera. Now it’s either body only, or a kit lens of some description. If anyone hasn’t got one, get one now. 😀

[@chriswellz5993]

Buying this lens next week friday. Can't wait. I have a T5i so I know it's going to be 80mm. But I'll manage. Watched a TON of photo and video examples and I'm sold. And you can't beat the price. It's $125 on Amazon.

[@aniyahlawrence8356]

Chris Wellz I got the same camera. I think imma get it

[@CsTeamKillerxD]

This lens is awesome. I've been using it for three years. But using it on a crop sensor indoors is sometimes just difficult. Definitely not good for shooting in tight spaces. I think this is really important to know that on crop sensor it's actually like 80mm. After all, people who are looking for a cheap lens normally own a crop-sensor camera, because let's be honest here. Full-frame is expensive as hell. Now I'm planning to buy Yongnuo 35mm f 2.0 which is actually more like 50mm on full frame. I still recommend buying the 50mm canon though! I love it and I won't stop using it.

[@OverlyCuriousEngineer]

Does it have a similar effect on portraits as a 85 mm FF lens? I.e the sort of compressed result

[@willis27831]

This is the ONLY 2 minute Tuesday video that came close lol. I love your content btw.

[@erik5024]

🤚 got a gently used ef f/1.4 from a pro who didn't use it enough. Super versatile

[@WickPhotography]

Great lens. I dropped it a couple of days ago still working like a charm. Canon is a tank

[@Daviavo]

Funny. I just found out how good my lens was then this video comes out

[@notillgrowers]

Would love/could really use/hope you'd be up for a video on how to do better intros. Just putting it in your ear... er, eyes, I guess.

[@zain670]

oh. i was about to buy canon t7i and a 50mm. but now I know its gonna be 80mm for t7i so should i get t7i and 50mm? help please

[@miodesyo9324]

There is nothing wrong with 80mm-like field of view. Actually it is good for portraits with shallow depth of field on cropped APS-C size sensors. I've personally started in photography with this lens and 50D.

[@zain670]

thanks for your reply ;)

[@luckyowl10]

the 35mm lenses are the Nifty 50s of APS-C bodys, because it translates to about 50mm ( focal length * crop factor)

[@okaro6595]

Nobody else can tell you what lenses you need. It is all about what YOU want to achieve.

[@mamamorn7174]

my fav lens finally gets some love

[@baisakhsreevidyamadhu9404]

@peter mckinnon Bro can u make a short review like this on Yongnuo YN50MM 50mm f/1.8 Prime Lens for Nikon DSLR.

[@Dodgster]

I prefer the sigma 30mm f 1.8

[@prajwalvs1659]

Cost?

[@JJSogaard]

So if someone out there has a hard time following the whole APS-C sensor thing, to get the equivalent of 50mm, buy a 35 mm. Buy the 35mm. It’s good!

[@aftvofficial5744]

Jonatan Søgaard thanks!

[@KingfisherTalkingPictures]

52.5 mm, but as close as you’ll get. I love my 35 mm.

[@JJSogaard]

@@KingfisherTalkingPictures Yeah it quickly became my default lens. It just feels natural...

[@tirshtain]

I used to work at a photo gear shop while in college. We tested a all of our 50 1.8 against a all of our 50 1.4 and each time 50 1.8 was sharper at any aperture size. Best canon lens considering price.

[@raftermanhoward1883]

Yes, this lens is underrated. Except for the fact that it is on EVERY must have/best budget/best cheap/best prime/best canon lens list.

[@GabrielMartinez-pw3cu]

I think what they mean is that it’s so cheap people expect it to be cheap quality

[@mortenk9103]

It's popular among youtubers, because there are good chances for a large audience to purchase it via the affiliate link, that you'll most likely find at the top of the video description ;-)

[@MannyPad]

When you beat the notification! 💪🏻

[@SinominStudios]

The ONLY downside is no IS 😭 cuz I’m not too good at smooth handheld video

[@beetlesbum869]

Wait, so what lens do I get if I DO have a Canon t7i and want the 50mm?

[@Ocaoj]

35mm, because of the crop factor it will be the equivalent to 56mm.

[@BMH1965]

@@Ocaoj But what lens? Not what length!

[@kevindiaz3459]

You get the lens that fits the framing that you want after crop factor is applied. It comes down to what you are going to do. If you want to do portraits, you can get the 50mm F1.8, as it offers the framing you would need for that. If you want to do products, the EF-S 24mm F2.8 STM or the EF-S 35mm F2.8 IS STM Macro might be better, depending on the products. For general shooting the 50mm tends to be a little too tight on a crop body, the other lenses are probably better for that, but your best bet is a fast zoom in that case. Something like the EF-S 17-55mm F2.8 IS USM, which is expensive (often 550 USD on sale), or the Sigma 17-50mm F2.8 DC OS HSM (usually around 350 USD). Those will probably stay on your camera most of the time. My 17-55mm is on my number 2 camera just about all the time.

[@jessmercedess]

I LOVE this lens SO MUCH. its literally my favourite

[@gdrriley420]

It isn’t under rated and nether are some of its clones. For 100-150$ it is. I’d rather grab the 50 and 35 by Yongnuo

[@MeerkatChris]

I thought everybody did own this lens already, haha! I've had it for a few years now and it's never let me down.
