At the very beginning of my photography I purchased Canon's EF 50mm f/1.8 lens because it produced sharp images and was very vast lens. After a while, I decided to get rid of it since it was too tight indoors.
Now years later and a whole lot more experience behind, I decided to get this lens again. Perhaps I would finally get a spark to take more portraits of my quickly growing daughters. Because I like 50mm as a focal length for portraits and large aperture of 1.8 for the bokeh, this lens was obvious choice for me. Some time in the near future I will probably upgrade to 1.4 version, but for now I will focus on using this lens.
I will not go more in-depth about the structural quality of this lens not the issues with focusing sound and speed as there are tons of discussion and arguments for and against this lens already. These things really don't matter to me as long as I have a lens the yields results like below.
So few days ago we went to my daughters' figure skating club and after the lessons I grabbed my daughter for a quick photo shoot. I selected maximum aperture of f/1.8 and went ahead focusing for the eyes. Few results below:
