If you are looking to buy the 50mm 1.8 Canon lens, you may be like many other potential buyers and have many questions in mind. This article will hopefully answer some or all of your questions so you can make an informed decision before buying. You will also learn where to find good deals if you decide to buy this lens.
1. Would this lens be compatible with a Nikon D5000?
No, this lens would not be compatible with your Nikon, both physically and electronically. You would need to get the Nikon 50mm 1.8D AF Nikkor lens for Nikon DSLRs. However, mounting such a lens on a D5000 would limit you to manual focus only.
2. Would it work with Canon Rebel 2000?
Yes, all EF lens will be compatible with your Canon Rebel 2000. However, stay away from the EF-S series lenses, as the Rebel 2000 mirror may hit the rear element or it may result in certain degree of vignetting. Also, the EF-S lenses will not work on many EOS cameras, except on the Canon Digital Rebel line and the 30D through 60D.
In addition, all EF lens will work on Canon's EOS line of cameras. In fact, the EF series lenses were designed particularly for the EOS series of cameras.
3. Does it work with the Canon Rebel XTI?
Yes, the 50mm 1.8 Canon lens makes a great low light or portrait lens for the Rebel XTi. Also, the Canon Rebel XSi uses both EF and EF-S lenses, so this will work with the XSi and you will love the image quality you get from it. Note that the EF mounts are compatible with EF-S but not the other way around.
4. Can I use it with Canon Pro S3 IS?
No, as mentioned above, this lens has an EF mount, and it is compatible with Canon EOS line of cameras.
5. Is this a good lens for night-time shooting?
This lens is fantastic working under low-light conditions. It is excellent for capturing a band performing or musical performances, although it may not be suitable for fireworks or storms.
In general, the Auto Focus will have some difficulty under dark situations, such as lightning and fireworks. You can try manual focus if you really need to capture a picture when the light lasts very briefly. Another alternative is to auto- focus on something else that is about the same distance away as your subject. Then, shift the focus to manual and leave the dial alone. Stop down the aperture will also help.
