35mm lenses can be used on a digital camera, but there are a few things to keep in mind. First, the image will be slightly cropped because the sensor on a digital camera is smaller than a 35mm film frame. Second, the lenses will need to be adjusted to account for the different distance between the sensor and the lens mount on a digital camera. Third, because of the way digital sensors work, using a 35mm lens on a digital camera can result in some vignetting (dark corners) in the image.
An SLR camera uses a mirror to reflect the image coming through the lens up into the viewfinder. When you press the shutter release, the mirror swings out of the way so that the image can be projected onto the film or digital sensor. Because the mirror is in the way, you can't put a lens directly onto the sensor.
Yes, you can use SLR lenses on DSLR cameras. However, you will need an adapter to do so. Additionally, you may need to make some adjustments to your camera's menu settings in order to use the lens.
Lenses are not a one-size-fits-all proposition. The mount, or interface, that connects a lens to a camera body is specific to a given camera manufacturer. For example, Canon EF (full-frame) and EF-S (APS-C) lenses can be used only on Canon DSLRs, while Nikon F-mount lenses work with Nikon DSLRs. Sony Alpha lenses can be used only on Sony Alpha cameras. And so on.

Let's first talk about the new lens's construction quality. The 50 STM has had a significant update in this area and feels excellent. I could tell as soon as I picked up the lens that it had undergone a total overhaul from the previous model, and it really needed it.I'm really happy to find that the lens now has a metallic mount on the back. The longevity of this lens has been extended by upgrading from the plastic mount, which has slightly increased its weight. A 49mm filter thread has been added to the front, which is even smaller than the previous 52mm thread. Even the smallest details, such the AF/MF switch, have received an overhaul. It is no longer a little button that feels flimsy and fragile. which is really wonderful to see.FOCUS RING: The focus ring on the original nifty fifty was one of its worst features. It was awkwardly placed at the end of the lens and was small and fiddly.And happily, everything has been modified for the new 50 stm. The brand-new focus ring is excellent. The redesigned focus ring, which is bigger and much like the ones used in the 24mm STM and 40mm STM, makes it much easier to pull focus. something that, on the previous edition, was virtually impossible. It still uses a focus by wire approach, but these days I actually quite like it. Additionally, it is now full-time focused, so you won't have to worry about accidentally leaving the lens in autofocus and ruining it.MACRO: While it is clear that this is not a macro-specific lens, the minimum focus distance has been improved, allowing you to approach your subject a little bit closer. With the new model, you can capture pictures from a distance of about 35 cm as opposed to the previous model's 45 cm. You can get some really great close-up images with this lens when coupled with a crop sensor body like the Canon 70d before spending money on a specialized macro solution.BOKEH: Despite being an inexpensive lens, the nifty fifty nevertheless produced some amazing pictures with an extremely shallow depth of field. Due to the fact that there were only 5 aperture blades, the bokeh was a little amusing. This has been improved to a 7-rounded aperture blade on the new 50 stm, and I've discovered that it creates some gorgeous bokeh. Due to its non-funny shape and extreme smoothness and creaminess, it is also less obtrusive. Since I didn't mind the bokeh shapes from the 1950s, it's not a big concern to me right now, but I suppose it's a great improvement.AUTOFOCUS: Of course, the addition of an STM or stepping motor is one of the most significant new changes to this lens. Now that I've tried the 24 stm, 40 stm, and 18-135 stm, I can say that they have all impressed me. And I can confidently state that the 50mm STM is just as good, much faster and snappier than the previous model.It's fine to talk about the lens, but I always think it's wise to look at a few sample photographs to see just how wonderful it is. IMAGE QUALITY AND SAMPLES Please have a look at the review's attached photographs to see. After testing, I must say that I am really pleased with this lens. Particularly for $125.Fantastic bokeh, significantly lessened chromatic aberration compared to the previous iteration, and practically nonexistent vignetting.This lens is approximately as crisp as any lens in this price range once you stop it down to about f2.8.If you put colors in the correct situations, they can really pop. Colors are handled extremely nicely as well.Overall, I think the new 50 STM is a fantastic lens.

The reviewers of these products could have the appearance of being professional or semi-professional photographers. Let me start off by making it very obvious that this is not me. Despite the fact that I have loved photographing pictures since I was a young kid, I have just recently started using a DSLR and never actually used an SLR. I would therefore never classify myself as anything other than a casual (albeit regular) user of photographic products. In fact, I bought this specific lens to finish a class and to grow better at taking pictures of my kids (my virtually exclusive targets.)I really can't praise this lens highly enough. While I won't insult your intelligence by saying that using this lens will guarantee you never take a bad picture, I do think using it has significantly enhanced my photography, especially when photographing my family. I appreciate the effect that having several levels of focus provides my shots, therefore I find that this lens enables me to easily make adjustments. I adore the "softness" I am able to capture with this lens, and I believe that it enhances the appearance of my photographs of my children. In fact, I now use this lens exclusively to capture images of my family, whether they be more formal, staged portraits or (my personal preference), more natural-looking spontaneous photographs. LOVE THIS LENS, LOVE IT, LOVE IT!

I have been experimenting with different lenses as a beginner photographer. A 10.5mm fisheye is used after an older (non VR) 70-300 telephoto lens. I've also used the "nifty 50" Nikkor 50mm 1.8D during the last three years. For casual shooting, portraits, and the sporadic indoor kid's sporting event, this lens has been fantastic. Because I have a camera with a cropped sensor (the D90), I frequently run into the issue that the 50mm 1.8D lens really produces images that are closer to the equivalent of a 75mm lens. I would frequently discover that I could only maintain one subject in the frame or that I wished I had more space behind me to back up further in order to get more in the frame. In order to shoot wider, I would frequently switch lenses and use an older kit lens (18-70mm 3.5ED), although doing so naturally meant losing sharpness and the dramatic depth of field effect possible with prime lenses like the 50mm 1.8D.A professional photographer friend of mine was also using a 50mm lens on her Canon 5D Mark III, and after viewing the images, I was curious as to how she managed to squeeze so much into the frame without having to go either closer or farther away. I was unaware of crop sensor cameras, crop factors, full-frame cameras, etc. at the time. A 50mm lens on a full frame camera and the same lens on a crop sensor camera do not, in reality, produce identical images.After doing some research and reading, I made the decision to buy this 35mm 1.8G lens. Once I had it, I quickly attached the bayonet-style lens and began taking pictures. On a cropped sensor camera like the D90 (as well as the more recent D7200, D7000, D3300, D3200, D5500, etc.), this lens produces images that are around 53mm equivalent when multiplied by 1.5. The effects were noticeable right away. I often shoot in close quarters with children, animals, and bands, so having more space in the frame felt liberated. What I could or could not fit within the frame did not cause me to feel limited.Benefits: - Feels solidly constructed - Comes packaged with a carrying case, a good cap, and a bayonet-style lens hood - Fits more into the frame - Quick - Captures sharp images with lots of detail - Excellent in low light, possibly even better than the now-outdated 50mm 1.8D (which, by the way, does not autofocus unless you have a camera with a focus motor built in) - If I didn't have- Contrary to the 50mm 1.8D, which seeks for focus and is unbearably noisy, focusing is QUIET.- A switch on the side of the lens lets you choose whether to manually focus the lens or to enable M/A, or manual and autofocus. When recording video and you don't want to rely on the focus motors to control how and what you focus on as you pan over a scene, this is useful for fine-tuning your focusing.Cons: The 35mm's bokeh isn't really up to pace with what I'm used to from the 50mm 1.8D. Although this is a pretty small problem, the Bokeh (quality of blurriness in the backdrop when shooting wide open) simply does not look as good. However, I may reserve the 50mm 1.8D for solely portrait or product photography and use this lens more for street photography, traveling, and all-around use. This lens exhibits mild barrel distortion, which is a very little curvature of the image from the center to all edges. The effect is easily fixed in photo-editing software.I am quite happy with my buy overall. The lens arrived in fantastic shape and was sent in a very well-packaged manner. The photographs I've included show how this lens compares to the older 50mm 1.8D as well as test shots. The images are intended to demonstrate how much more can fit in the frame when using a 50mm lens (on a camera with a cropped sensor) than when using a 35mm 1.8G. I truly adore the 50mm lens, but I needed more versatility, and the 35mm lens provides me with it. I now have the option to use it as both a quasi-portrait lens and a fantastic, quick, and sharp all-purpose photographer. As I continue to polish my photographic talents, I am excited to see what I can accomplish with this lens.If the object appears closer in the comparison photograph, I took it using a 50mm lens. For each photo, the same conditions were used.

I'm clearly a beginner and only a semi-professional photographer. I occasionally take pictures for our website or printed materials because I work at a venue where we frequently hold events like weddings, concerts, and big community gatherings. I just received this lens today, and I know I'm going to adore it! For someone who intends to use it for somewhat "daily" use, it offers a decent, reasonable range. I don't always have the opportunity to get up close physically to get a good shot because I'll frequently shoot pictures of musicians on stage or just random people from a distance when they're attending an event. Additionally, it excels at capturing smooth, creamy bokeh (blurred backdrop), which makes the subject stand out. It has a maximum aperture of f/4, which is sufficient for a fuzzy background in my situation. When I'm taking photographs of a choreographed jump rope routine, I don't want that narrow of a focus if they're jumping in and out of that range, but a fixed 50mm that can go to f/1.8 is wonderful for macro or portraiture! I believe this is a wonderful place to start if you want something that's an upgrade over your kit lens without feeling intimidated by the size or range of a lens!

When I started my hobby, I purchased a Canon 5DS-R body at launch along with a Canon 24-70 F2.8l II lens. Due to current life circumstances, I decided to start using the hobby again after putting it aside for a while. I always assumed that if you had a zoom lens, you would be completely covered in terms of focal lengths, and you are. However, for portraits and items that need to stand out from the backdrop, zoom lenses don't provide the same kind of separation as a background that is blurred. I made the decision to try a 50mm prime lens, but I didn't want to spend a lot of money only to see if the price difference was justified. I'm happy to report that it was. On a prime lens, the bokeh is amazing, and the difference is enormous. The lens is identical to the US version; the only difference, in my understanding, is that you cannot get the lens repaired under warranty here in the US. I accidentally purchased this lens because I did not want to buy the international version. I am delighted with my purchase and saved a lot of money compared to the L series because this lens is incredibly quiet and produces excellent photographs for the price. At this moment, I wouldn't be able to tell the difference between a $1350.00 and this $125.00 lens because I'm new to the hobby and undoubtedly not an expert. I will probably continue to have this lens attached to the body going forward because it is so much lighter than the 24-70 lens I already own. If you want to test the prime lens market without spending a ton of money, this is a wonderful lens, especially for the price. We definitely should have taken this photo at 2.8 or possibly 3.5 to clear up the face, but you get the idea. The picture of our new puppy was taken at wide open at 1.8, and the blur starts pretty quickly as you move away from the right eye. Although I may someday get the L series of this lens, as a beginning hobbyist I will be happy with this one for the near future. Purchase it; you won't regret it, in my opinion!

I primarily use the Canon 50mm 1.4 at the moment. I was expecting for something smaller, or at the very least, something that would be less cumbersome and excellent to toss in a knapsack for a day out trekking. With a 180$ lens, I reasoned that even if it was just OK, I wouldn't be very disappointed. This has consistently amazed me, and I envision it becoming just as important a tool in my photographic toolkit as my 50mm has been. Yes, it is small; in fact, it fits in a zippered bag in my daypack, when I previously had to separate the camera and lens to make room for everything. It's wide and can effectively capture the scenery, as seen in the photos I shot. It also has the same fantastic bokeh effect with a fast 2.8 aperture as my 50mm (well, not quite as much, but still wonderful), which I love and need. I was surprised to learn that it has excellent macro capabilities; I mean, I'm only a couple of inches away from the subject and bam, it focuses. I can't express how happy I am to have such a multitasker for my trips; I can shoot pictures of odd bugs, lovely flowers, the sunset in its full glory, or a person's face. I want—no, I NEED—multitaskers in my gear because I am not a professional and I want my money to go as far as it can. So far, I'm really pleased with it. I think the visual quality is extremely good. The focusing is quick and performs admirably even in dimly lit environments. Yes, there are some situations in which I would use my 50mm 1.4, but these two elements combined make me a very content photographer.

I'm not a professional photographer; I'm just a photography lover. And my body is a Sony a7iii.Favorite Features: - Excellent (quick and accurate) autofocus that matches Sony-made lenses (of which I've used numerous). Works well with continuous autofocus; my three-year-old has tested it extensively indoors.Lightweight, moisture-resistant, and extremely good flare resistance (your shots won't produce that irksome haze when you take photos facing the sun on sunny days, and if they do, it's simple to fix in post-production).- excellent color reproduction.- very sharp and superb out-of-camera contrast (especially in the center, quite sharp in the corners, great sharpness throughout range).- one of the more compact zooms. The only smaller lens is the Sony Zeiss 24-70f4.- At 28mm, the f2.8 constant aperture provides excellent light gathering and superb headshots/portraits.dislikes - little too lengthy. Not actually discreet.- The focus ring and zoom ring are switched. Feels strange. But it won't matter if this is your first lens. And after using this lens exclusively for a while, it is irrelevant.neutral - construct quality It feels and looks good, in my opinion. not even close to the quality of most Sony Zeiss lenses. The plasticky feeling bothers some professionals. However, it works perfectly for my needs (include indoor and outdoor family photography, vacation/travel, and regular life).Excellent all-around lens for any enthusiast or amateur, provided you don't want anything wider or longer.

Despite the expense, I've had this lens for almost four months, and each time I use it, it still blows my mind (which only makes it more mind boggling). This lens handles everything, from family portraits to action photos of my dog and wildlife/nature photography, and makes the rest of my kit seem like a waste of space.Although the f/1.4 setting produces stunningly stunning images, the extremely tiny depth of field makes it quite restrictive. My dog's eyes are completely obscured when the lens is focused on her nose. Due to this, it makes for an excellent setting for artistic purposes (particularly wonderful for capturing insects, flowers, and other macro photographs), but it is less effective when taking pictures of people or the environment.The options multiply when you turn it up to about f/2.5, which is still below practically every other stock lens that is readily accessible. Children, pets, insects, flowers, and wildlife all make for stunning photographs. The depth of field is still dramatic enough to let your subject stand out against the background in your photograph, and the lens still lets in enough light to shoot excellent, low-noise pictures in low-light conditions. In comparison to the lenses that came with my camera, it also exhibits remarkably little lens and color distortion.I wholeheartedly advise using this lens and only taking RAW photos. After some post-processing, the images you obtain are appropriate for 3-5' wide canvas prints.There is no justification not to get this lens at this pricing. If you purchase it, you'll undoubtedly come to adore photography even more than you already do.FYI I have a Canon T3i body, and prior to purchasing this lens, I was using the kit's 18-55mm and 55-250mm zoom lenses. Both fall short of this one, albeit I must still use the 18-55mm when I require a broader angle (family shots indoors mostly). It is quite difficult to capture entire images indoors, which is the one real "negative" with this lens—which you know you're getting if you know what a 50mm lens is. If you plan to take plenty of family shots indoors or at events, this is not the lens you want.

I should begin by stating that I am a beginning photographer and that I use a Nixon D3200. I've only ever used the lens that came with my camera, so I thought I should invest in a better lens for long-distance photography. I just want to be able to enjoy the outdoors and snap images of birds and other wildlife; I'm not trying to become a professional photographer. I primarily purchased this lens to utilize for bird photography.Given that I don't have particularly stable hands, the price and lack of image stabilization definitely put me off. I made the decision to try it nevertheless.I'm totally amazed. This lens is ideal for my requirements. Regardless of the weather or lighting conditions, I can capture images of birds moving or not. For me, the auto focus was essential, and it performs flawlessly. It appears solid and long-lasting, and it is quite simple to use. I can capture stunning up-close pictures of birds in adjacent trees! I don't have very stable hands, therefore I took all of my photos by hand, without a tripod. I can shoot good photographs without a tripod or resting my elbows on anything even when I'm fully focused in, so it wasn't a problem for me at all. Out of around 200 images I've taken since getting this lens, only about 10 had doubled tree branches. The image turned out extremely well anyhow (it's really below); the background branches were blurred such that you couldn't even tell they were there.A slight purple or green edge on the bird or tree limb has also been visible in perhaps three of the 200 photos I've taken. It's uncommon, though.Really, I'm amazed. We hike on lengthy trails for up to 10 hours a day, so I'll have no trouble carrying it because it's lighter than I had anticipated.I'm incredibly impressed and I wholeheartedly endorse this lens, especially for lovers of birds and animals. Although I do aspire to purchase a lens with greater focal length in the future, for now and on my current spending plan, this is ideal. Birds on adjacent trees can be photographed in extremely close-up fashion, with some shots even revealing the finer features of their feathers. With this, I can also take some pretty incredible distant pictures.Absolute worth it!The images below were captured using this lens, and very light tweaking was done to the color and contrast. About 30 to 40 feet away, in a nearby tree, were these birds. They most likely would have turned out much better if I had worn the included hood, but I keep forgetting to do so.

Since my original 18-55mm lens had broken, I was quite happy when I first received the lens because I needed a new 18-55mm lens for my photography class.I wasn't sure at first if I needed to buy a new one because I believed I could get my lens mended for a cheap price because the shutter blades were misaligned in its lens, but I quickly realized I did.This prompted me to search Amazon, where I discovered a good deal to get the lens, so I appreciate you for that. Overall, the 18-55mm works great for my first purchase at such a low price, and the lens arrived quickly at my house.
A photographer should have a versatile lens that can be used for a variety of different photos such as a 50mm lens and an all-purpose zoom lens. The 50mm lens is great for portraits and other close-up shots while the zoom lens is perfect for landscapes and other wide shots.
There's no definitive answer to this question - it depends on the type of photography you're interested in and the types of subjects you like to photograph. However, in general, most photographers would recommend having a versatile zoom lens (like a 24-70mm or 24-105mm), a fast prime lens (like a 50mm f/1.8 or 35mm f/1.4), and a telephoto lens (like a 70-200mm or 100-400mm) in your camera bag. These three lenses will allow you to capture a wide variety of images, from
There are two types of lenses: convex and concave. Convex lenses are thicker in the middle and thinner at the edges. This type of lens is used to correct nearsightedness. Concave lenses are thinner in the middle and thicker at the edges. This type of lens is used to correct farsightedness.
There are three types of camera lenses: wide-angle, standard, and telephoto. Wide-angle lenses have a short focal length and are great for capturing landscapes and large groups of people. Standard lenses have a medium focal length and are ideal for everyday photography. Telephoto lenses have a long focal length and are perfect for taking close-up shots of subjects that are far away.
There are six main types of camera lenses: wide angle, normal, telephoto, zoom, fisheye, and macro. Wide angle lenses have a short focal length and are great for capturing landscapes or large groups of people. Normal lenses have a focal length that is similar to the human eye, making them ideal for general photography. Telephoto lenses have a long focal length and are perfect for taking close-up photos of distant subjects, like wildlife or athletes. Zoom lenses have a variable focal length, allowing you to zoom in and out
If you have an old SLR camera that you're not using, there are a few things you can do with it. You can sell it, trade it in, or donate it. You can also keep it as a backup camera or use it for a specific purpose, like macro photography.
