Sweet Spot Review Of The Canon 50 mm 1.8 aka Nifty Fifty aka Plastic Fantastic

Posted on: December 18, 2012, by :

OK, we know you want to let a lot of light in, want some better bokeh…

… want an affordable prime lens and all this kind of stuff when you decide to buy a 50 mm 1.8 better known as the plastic fantastic or nifty fifty.

They are available on both sites of the DSLR universe, the Canon site and the Nikon Site.

And they really deliver all the things mentioned above, but when are they going to deliver sharp images? And I don’t mean sharp at the back of your camera but sharp on your screen when you magnify the image to its full 100%

Not surprisingly it’s not the aperture of 1.8 nor is it 2.8 when things really becoming tack sharp as you can see in the video above.

As I’m a Canon shooter I did this review with the Canon Plastic Fantastic.
