In reply to BentOnPhotography. I've seen a lot of people say similar things about Sigma lenses so I believe you, but I've had nothing but problems with them and will never buy another one.

Personally I prefer the 40mm focal length. Especially the Voigtlander. Extra sharp and gives me a little wider field of view. I would never sell that lens………………. The 40 on a film camera is perfect. Along with a 20mm and a 85mm.

For Canon Users, I would recommend the pancake EF-40 f2.8 as an alternative it is as sharp, though marginally slower. It is not substantially much more expensive than a nifty fifty, It is smaller in size though the same weight because of the build quality, and makes an excellent portrait lens too on both APS-C and full frame. Because of it’s size makes a great street and travel lens

Purchased Nikon 50mm 1.4D few days ago, this Nifty Fifty is great lens with high level of detail. Love this, I’m quite beginner in DSLR cameras, but I’ve no mind to look for another lens.

50mm or 50mm x1.6 / 1.5? Why do writer of articles omit this info?

Crap article. Does not mention full frame or cropped, big difference with 50mm.

This post is timely, because over the weekend I circled back to this photo. I didn’t remember what lens I took it with, but it kept drawing me in. It was taken with my Olympus 25mm for micro 4/3 (50mm equivalent). I think it has sort of an impressionist feel. I will definitely be using this lens more often for landscapes! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/79dfa87d978204840fce42f626abeb421ef82028be976e85e3db0e713897e392.jpg

You did not mention whether the camera you are using is a full frame or a aps-c DSLR. If I use an aps-c the image is magnified 1.5x so that a 50mm is equivalent to 75mm. Should an aps-c DSLR user use a 35mm so that he can get a 52mm or a 50mm focal length equivalent to get the same result with one who uses a 50mm on a full frame camera?

Sensor size not mentioned! It should have been taken into consideration. Poor article.
