What exactly is the big deal with a 50mm lens ?

They are fast = more light and greater DOF.

Nik.g · Sep 30, 2009

.. and normally pin sharp. They offer high quality for little cash (depending on the model).

The 50mm lens was/is also the common focal length to use on 35mm film SLRs and full frame DSLRs. The reason being that it is the closest focal range which offers nearly the same perspective as the human eye.

I have an EFS 18-55mm on the 400d !

Same thing then ?

Not really. But as said, if you shoot at 50mm for all 50 days you can do this.

Nowhere near mate.

Imagine buying Wayne Rooney for £10 for a league one side.

I think that's a fair comparison. A lot of bang for the buck.

Alex H · Oct 1, 2009

Talking to Greggles earlier and I think that whilst going weak at the knees I let my guard slip and managed to purchase a nifty fifty from MPB. Hopefully that'll be here soon, but in the meantime it's the kit lens at 50mm for me! Now what to shoot for Day 1?

JJ! · Oct 1, 2009

I have started and added my pic to the group!

Nice pic to start with. I took a similar one the other day, but its outside of the dates to use, and using an iPhone... lol

P.S. Welcome to the light/ dark side (delete as appropriate)

JJ! · Oct 1, 2009

^ and a slightly more expensive bit of kit lol!

Andy. · Oct 1, 2009

They all have 5's in them.

JJ! · Oct 1, 2009

Very true! Its my only lens right now until I make a damn decision on what's next!!

Ian · Oct 1, 2009

That reminds me, forgot to reply to your PM!

JJ! · Oct 1, 2009

Hope the rest of you members remember to take your 1st pics today!

Ian · Oct 1, 2009

I'm torn - I could quite easily take one today, but following it up with another 49 is where my issue lies.

I'll decide sometime in the next 10 hours.

Revels · Oct 1, 2009

I'll be playing after work.

50 days of StormTroopers.

flol! I'm taking 50 photos of whatever!

Revels · Oct 1, 2009

Lol.

I think I'll mix it up a bit. 8 days of them was good but it feels a bit too 'samey'

Alex H · Oct 1, 2009

I'm tempted to take 50 photos of video games/movies characters. But I may just end up doing any old thing. Here's #1.

(and there's another one on my flickr)

Nik.g · Oct 1, 2009

iArgh you guys started already. I know i dont have a 50mm lens but m gonna go out and have a play with my standard kit at 50mm. Good luck to me. Lol.

Mine was with the 18-55 kit lens, counting down the days until my first prime. I actually think I cheated a little bit and the image has come out at 48mm but I'm letting myself off.

Gaz. · Oct 1, 2009

I have no ideas, and I really can't be bothered lol. Great start.

Bazzon · Oct 1, 2009

capturedbyjames · Oct 1, 2009

Right, here goes.

I've decided to go for a theme, black and white, should keep it a little more interesting than my 365, and should keep me more enthused.

Gaz. · Oct 1, 2009

No theme for this as I'm not really in the mood for even taking pictures. Will probably not use the little watermark again either TBH.
