    My second prime after 85mm. Was debating on 1.4 but glad went for 1.8. It's very sharp. Low light photography is not a problem anymore

    Digital photography is great when one has the right tools. A prime lens was the mainstay in film photography. I am rediscovering its value in the digital SLR world for excellent photos.

    Happened to catch on sale around Mother's Day. Everyone should have a 50mm prime lens; super bright images, and sharp wide open. I would definitely recommend to anyone.
