One of my first shots with the RF 50mm F1.8 lens. It’s one of those photos where I realize just how much difference equipment (sensor size + glass + camera software) can make. My Rebel T3 could never have matched this smooth lightning.
Ohh yeah, I remember the first time I got my hands on that lens. I recommend everyone at least rent the F1.4 and F1.2 after they’ve tried the F1.8, because they will really helped me to understand why there’s so much cost difference between those 3 lenses.
From what I’ve read, the general image quality of the ‘cheap’ EF/RF 50mm 1.8 is very similar to that of the much more expensive 1.4 or 1.2 versions. At least from F1.8 and up, that is.
I’d prefer the better lenses, of course, simply for the faster and less noisy focus but I’d have to pay 12x what I’ve paid for the RF 50mm 1.8! It’s just insane.
Same as with audio equipment, I’m still at a level where I can see, as a fact, that money is still a limiting factor and not just my skill level.
