Shooting with the Nifty 50...

A few of my fellow classmates asked our intructor last night which lens he would recommend if he were to pick one for them to add to their kit. He said the "nifty fifty" which is a 50mm lens. Every camera will have their own version of this lens. Apparently Canon marketed a lens called a "portrait lens" and they sold like crazy. It is the same thing (may have been called the perfect portrait lens)..anyway, our instructor said it was the same lens as the nifty fifty and it is a very useful lens to have. I have a Sony 50mm F2.8 lens and it is the one I use the most..love it.
