The flipping lens around to get macro trick BLEW MY MIND! I used to just free-lens and get nervous that dust would get into the camera, but this is nicer when you don't need the customization. Awesome.
I have tried this...I have macro lenses, but I was curious. And it really does work. :D And the front of the 50 fits really good into the lens mount on the body. :)
I just ordered this lens and I tried it out right away!! I'm a portrait photographer and I've always had a 50mm 1.8 in my bag! My older one was dropped and so I needed a new one! I'm so pleased with the new STM version!! GORG colorful, crisp images amzn.to/33ccA4u
I'm not that person, who writing comments, but I really wanted to say that you really know how to make people comfortable watching your videos. And thank you for advice!
Just add this lens to my collection and I’m so glad I did. I’m not a a photographer I’m a beginner still but even I can see how much better is for the pictures.
Thanks for the video. I have both the 24mm and 50mm on a crop sensor Canon. The biggest differences are that the 24mm is a wide-angle lens and only goes down to 2.8 while the 50mm is not wide angle but can step down to 1.8. Now, if Cano would introduce a 24mm 1.8, I'd be a very happy camper!
You can buy a reversing ring for this exact purpose for dirt cheap, less than 10 or 15 bucks. Just make sure you set the focus and aperture before hand.
Just came across your video and I'm very surprised that you only have 1.3K subscribers. One of the best channels I've seen. Keep doing what you're doing.
@@PaulHeimlund Men, it was nothing. We do need more people like you in this plataform. I'm just now getting into photography and just by watching your videos I felt very inspired. Also, i had to go with the 50mm after this video, your shots were awesome.
Very stylish boss. Actually I have only this lens and the 24mm you mentioned which is an ideal combo for APS-C, and more than good enough for an hobby photographer like myself. Both very sharp and fast. Thanks for the tips.
Hey Luis! Yeah, it should make it nice and blurry as long as the cars and background are separated. Try to get as close as possible to the cars. Good luck carspotting :)
This is so helpful thank you. I just picked up an old 5d mark ii and a 50mm 1.8 and I think it is going to be a killer for my portrait and product work. Even indoors for events it'll work nice as well. Definitely complement my other lenses as well. I think a 14mm may also be in my future. You would be surprised though, I have a 22mm prime on a crop sensor that does surprisingly well at astro, but the 15mm could be a pretty significant difference.
50mm F/1.8 is actually not that bad for astrophoto, you can make great panoramas with it ! But you will need to stitch in post and maybe use a star tracker...
I sometimes use my Canon 24mm f/2.8 STM, but for wide-field Astrophotography, I prefer my 18mm... Also, does the 50mm also suffer as much as the 24mm from the 'coma'-effect in the corner of the photo? (stars have wings)
I personally find the 50 mm too close. You would have to keep your camera pretty far away. If, like me, you have your camera on your computer desk, you would be better off with a kit lens. I have an 18 -55 mm lens. Great wide angle to capture your fretboard right to your strumming.
Hey! The 50mm is dope in low light! If you don’t have enough light in the room, just bring in any house hold lamp. Even though your camera might be cropped sensor you can get really cinematic shots, compared to a kit lens. Best of luck ;)
*** “The 50mm is, more or less, what your eyes see...” Please pardon my trolling, the video is excellent. However, it is worth noting that the notion of a 50 being “true” to human vision is based on it being mounted on a FF or 35 mm camera. On a crop sensor, a “true” field of vision is closer to 35mm. Which, now that I think about it, is covered under the “more or less” bit. So never mind. Carry on as you were.
pidge414 When is was using a 35mm film camera I found that 70mm seemed to match my eyes far better than 50mm. It was only when I used my 50mm on a crop sensor digital camera that it matched my eyes. I’m not sure if this is a bad sign or a good sign.
Must say you have a great personality making your presentation more interesting that what already is. Great content and simple explained, thank you for so much information. Kudos!
Mindblowing! Me as a total newbie enjoyed this video so much! Also, i was just exactly looking for a lens for object shooting and macro as well. Omg you made my day!
I bought a Canon AE-1 Program back in '83 when I was a newb and it came with a 50 mm. It took many, many good pics in AUTO, lol. Now I have a Canon 80D and I get a new 50mm f/1.8 STM tomorrow, can't wait to get some low light pics of animals and flowers at sundown, in manual.
hey thanks for the Vid!!! i found it very useful, bought a Canon M50 Last year but i've been travelling the world with GoPro's. i need a night lense and i bought the Nifty 50 so i'm learning it on my downtime before heading back on the road(airplane) thanks Finding Fish (youtuber)

That was such a relaxing review.
This video should have been titled "7 types of photography with the 50mm f1.8".

Not nearly as clicky as the current title.
But it’s not lol

@@TomKirkemo-l5c How to fit in a R6 Mark ii ? I am a little scared to damage something.
Never in a million years would I have thought to flip a lens around like that. Now I simply NEED to try that.
I tried it but my camera said no lens attached so I couldn't shoot anything. Is it because I have a Nikon D5100? Thanks!
can I do that on my m50?
@@JaspreetKaur-sr9oq Did you get a reverse ring to mount it?
Jaspreet Kaur some cameras have a setting that allows to shoot without a lens. Change that setting if your camera has the option
dont do it you'll end up damaging the sensor
Just bought the lens. 1st lens after my Kit lens. Definetly amazing and good for practicing as a beginner

will this lense work with my EOS M50 Canon?
Rare Breed Shaving no, you can use an adapter though, but keep in mind that it will be limiting the lens's capabilities
Andre Alcantara same here
I’m new as well but getting great shots with this lens.
Just bought this lens last week and it really is amazing. The only thing I have to get used to is your feet being the zoom lol
Lol :)
Well when friends borrow your camera and ask how to zoom, just say easy use your feet.
Hahahahahahaha! Same!!! 😂😅
I got you. Same here. I think, so we can stay fit by moving a lot around to catch that perfect shot we want.
I'm not that person, who writing comments, but I really wanted to say that you really know how to make people comfortable watching your videos. And thank you for advice!
Great to hear! Thanks :)
You make me excited about photography! I haven't been excited in such a long time.
Great to hear! Thanks for your inspiring feedback :)
first video out of like 10 videos I watched that helped me get a good idea of the 50mm lens.
I must say, I watched a lot of videos on products but this one has the best transitions I have seen so far!! Great job mate 💯🔥
This guy deserves a lot more subscribers...
His work is incredible
Just got one. Looking forward to thoroughly trying it out.. Thanks for this rough guide..
Just add this lens to my collection and I’m so glad I did. I’m not a a photographer I’m a beginner still but even I can see how much better is for the pictures.
Right? I love this lens!
@@PaulHeimlund I couldn’t be happier. I just want to go and make more content just to use it 😂

What would be the benefit of having a 24mm that goes down to 1.8? Vs the 50mm 1.8?
Just landed on this video, and stoked by the tip to reverse the lens for macro shots. Fantastic! Thanks!
Great to hear! Thanks, man :)
Me too. Just now.
I own this lens and I love it. It’s my favorite small lens. It’s versatile!
Great! I completely agree ;)
Exactly the video I needed. I'm scoping using this for youtube recording. Now a follower.
Love this lens, im using it 70% of my shots. Works for products and models perfectly 💯
Cabunnda Hey, Cabunnda! I’m also using it a lot! And you’re soooo right: perfect for products and models :)
Second lens I purchased too. Mainly for its low light non flash capabilities. The kit lens is back on for the daytime outdoor stuff.
Great video! I have it and it’s by far my favourite lens!! :)
Looove your sample shots - stunning!
Sonata Kay Hey, Sonata! Thanks for your inspiring feedback! Yeah, it sure is a great lens ;)

Would you recommend this for miniatures?
Yes I would :)
Also check out my newest video in how to also use this lens as a macro lens to see even more details of the miniatures.
Amazing video. I enjoyed every second of it. Bay the way, your light set up is amazing.
Cheers, Shaban! Have a great week :)
The mrico lens trick is amazing. I never knew you can DO that.
When I see a big lens I start sweating and spaghetti manifests in my pockets.
Thank you for this video! You helped me decide on which lens to start my photography journey with instead of the 16-50mm kit lens.
DAMMNNN! Turning that lens around was sick! Never saw that before!

Nice video. But still waiting for the "how to" part 😅
Thanks a lot paul for the tips.
50 is what your eyes would see, but on a crop sensor you're using it's more like 80.
