As some of you know I've been lamenting for months about getting poor quality shots in low-lighting at work-- and having to shoot in grainy ISO hoping for "lucky" shots of our speakers.

THIS IS THE BEST ADDITION TO MY D80 EVER!!

And it was only like 300 bucks!

I have a Canon 50mm f/1.4 lens.

They do indeed rule.

Every photog should have a fast 50mm, so good for you. It sucks that F/1.4 costs $300 though.

I have the Canon 50mm f/1.8... aka, the plastic fantastic. Can't beat the price, but it feels like a toy more then a lens! If it ever breaks, I'll replace it with the 1.4.

They make a cheaper one (F/1.8) in the $150 range with virtually the same abilities, but it's not as sturdy/well-built.

I'll post some this weekend when I can get some photos that aren't work-related.

I have the 50mm F/1.8 MkI (metal mount) for my Canon 30D. I would like to own the F/1.4 version but it's rather unappealing. I bought one once but the focus mechanism arrived broken, apparently a common problem for the aging offering. Canon really should make a Mk II version to compete with Sigma's recent 50mm release.

The nifty fifty.

I own that and I can say that it works extremely well... got some very natural-looking shots at a friend's wedding due to not needing a flash.

I don't understand, how does this attach to your phone?
