The 50mm 1.8 is such a powerhouse value. It was my first prime and even my beginning Rebel XTi days photos still hold up thanks to it. When the time came for me to spend real money on glass, I was able to add the 35mm 1.4, knowing that I could cover my 50mm needs with the 1.8.

Nice video. I sold my old EF 50 1.8 II to help pay for the RF 35 f1.8 and while I love both that lens and my Yongnuo RF 85 1.8, I do miss the nifty 50 as sometimes the 85 is too tight for a space but the 35 is too wide and can introduce distortion.

But I really like the old non-stm version, when having the camera on any events like bbq, somebody grabs your camera to take some shots and you just don't have to worry. "yes, try it - it's fun". Best value lens.

I'm sharing a little story here So the first ef lens I bought for my Canon 80D was a YONGNUO 50mm II 😅 for 110usd and I loved it actually so I said yeah let's save some money for a 50mm prime lens and when I finally could afford it after a year and a half i only kept it for less than 2 months because I was assaulted and robbed in the street. They took my jacket my camera, tripod and lens... Anyway I refused to stop doing photography because I love it and also is work for me so I asked for a loan, bought a new camera and returned to my old cheap lens. It was all good I think until a month ago when I dropped it and now I can't use the autofocus 🥲 not a big deal when shooting portraits but definitely a problem for other purposes. Third world problems I know ✌🏼

There's something about lightweight lenses though. You take them with you more easily and photograph for longer. That for me is actually a more important factor than the difference in sharpness between these two lenses tbh. If a lens weights more than 500g I'm simply not going to use it. Something for videographers to be aware of: in-camera lens corrections apply in video mode for RF lenses but not for EF lenses or other adapted lenses. There's usually not a huge difference in practice, but it's good to know.

Hahahah my birthday is Monday July 25th! I have the EF version of the nifty fifty adapted to my R5 with battery grip as a backup to my 28-70mm f2.0 ($3,000) lens. This nifty fifty lens is amazing for the price. I whole heartedly agree with Bryan about how good this lens is and its why I still carry it in my bag. If my 28-70 ever fails, I know I can religh on the 50mm f1.8 to finish a wedding. This is super critical for when shooting a wedding as it's a one time event. You have to get it right as there are no second chances. The second thing I would like to point out, is how small and light weight it is. Even with the EF-RF adapter attached, it's light enough to carry in my bag without taking up much room. Another thing I would like to point out there are two versions of the EF 50 f1.8. One the EF mount is plastic on the older version and the newer version it's a metal EF mount. While this doesn't affect image quality, if you see yourself switching lenses often then you might want to spring for the metal version as it will last much longer. If this will be your only lens then the plastic EF mount will work just fine for many years. It's a very good quality plastic. I want to address the elephant in the room. Weight! The RF 50 f1.2 and RF 28-70 f2 are heavy. I have the R5 with the attached battery grip. The grip holds two batteries which doubles my run time as I shoot hybrid style. Meaning I shoot little video clips along with photos. My camera gets warm and it sucks juice. I never want to switch out batteries in the middle of the couple walking down the isle hench the need for the battery grip. But now I'm holding more weight. The 28-70 f2 lens is also very heavy. Total weight is 6-pounds that I have to hold for an 8 hour day. I could cut out 3-pounds if I only used the Nifty Fifty. I did find a workaround by purchasing a monopod with a hi-hat at the bottom (mini tripod stand at the base of the stick). Now I have a way to rest my 6-pounder while shooting video and taking a few photos. It also keeps the weight off my shoulders even though I have a shoulder harness for my camera. Still the little EF 50mm glass is soooo attractive for that matter. Could they make the Nifty Fifty much better? Not really unless they find a way to defeat the laws of physics. More glass you have fixes many issues smaller glass has. They could add better coatings but that would increase the cost and you might as well buy the f1.2 lens. I think as software gets smarter with Machine Learning (aka A.I.) the remaining issues can be fixed. The cheap Nifty Fifty is really a great lens that every photographer should own.

One more thing. If you are using a APC-S (cropped sensor body) the 50mm will have the look of a 80mm lens on a full frame sensor. For canon bodies we take the mm number and multiply by 1.6 to get 81mm. Nikon is crop factor is 1.5 which is the same as Fuji and Sony. This is just something to keep in mind when you see photos from a full frame camera. Their shots will look a little wider as if they were shot at 31mm. (50mm / 1.6 = 31.25) So if you buy a 30mm lens for your APS-C body it will look like a 50mm of a full frame body. Which is a lens I have for my Canon SL2 Rebel as a back up to my R5.

The 50 1.8 is softer not just because it's cheaper, but also because of the distance you create from the lens to the sensor by putting the rf adapter. I own the same f1.8 lens and when you put it on a dslr it's sharper. I resently had a photoshoot with eos r and 50mm f1.8 with the adapter and comparing the images with the images i took years ago with the dslr and the same lens, they look softer. The same goes if you put it on an aps-c body. The light scaters a bit and that creates a bit of softness. This lens is made for fullframe dslr cameras. Then it gets sharper. Its a good lens for the money.

appreciate the honesty and visual comparison of the two and values of each. Having just started the hobby, nothing more I value at this time than true explanations of the products. I certainly did not think I would be able to begin this hobby with my expectations of less can actually produce as good pictures to spending an enormous amount of money oo equipment. Sometimes bringing everything to perspective is the most advantages input to entertaining someone to the hobby. Great input and again, honesty with the visual goes a long way for us beginners. I bought a Canon t2i for $100 including a bag, battery and charger with manuals also. So happy with the price and the value!. I have recently added the nifty 50 with my equipment as I would like to do more portrait pics. This was a great example, and SO happy with the $ value I spent. I don't want to sound cheap but this choice allows me to continue and progress as an amateur and simply ENJOY the hobby.

I love this style of comparison. Very strong comparison for portraiture. There are 2 very big advantages to the nifty 50 in my eyes: 1. Weight and 2. Not nearly as anxiety inducing if you have accidentally break it. But honestly though the onion ring bokeh is a little too much for me. Also, this video doesn’t touch on the light transmission but that 1.2 vs. 1.8 can make all of the difference in the world when shooting indoors or late in the evening.

Good video!! I've been on that roller coaster ))) The final and practical thought to consider, in almost any situation, is the final purpose of what you're doing. Do you really need the best and most expesive gear for you goal?! Better "quality" usually comes with great respnsibility such as price, weight, size, difficulty of nailing the focus, slow speed. I end up with the collection of expensive and cheap gear and cheap ones I use much more frequently. F/1.2 is such niche, delicate thing that you want to use it on a special occasion.

I have used the "Nifty fifty" in one incarnation or another ever since I started shooting with an AT-1 in the '70s right up until today when I have it adapted to my M50 and EOS R. I see no reason to buy the RF 50mm f1.8 because I use the Canon EF-RF adapter with the control ring and the RF 50mm does NOT have dedicated focus and control rings. The adapted Nifty Fifty gives me both! Is the 50mm the ideal lens for all purpose shooting? No, I prefer the RF 24-105mm f4 for that, with a couple of others for my needs. But it has a place in my kit! As an aside, I think you need to discuss the RF 50mm f1.8 lens. Unless having full time manual focus is a MUST HAVE feature which is awkward to set up on an R body with it then it has a price point that makes it a worthy alternative to the Nifty Fifty on an adapter with possibly better optics.
