I need to challenge myself differently this year. I shoot the 50mm, I shoot a lot of narrow DOF close ups of my daughter, which I have so much fun doing. I shoot 1.4-2.0 a lot because I love to shoot low light, no flash. I love the warmth of the photo. I could add flash to the repertoire. I have a Canon EX4xx at my disposal. I really want to add another focal length, but I bet the wife will be stuck on zoooooom. Maybe Sean's comment on shooting on either end will help. Just spitballing, time to go read my daughter some books about becoming an engineer
December 19, 20177 yr You can zoom with the 50mm by moving forward, you can't make it wider as moving back is hard. That being said if you go zoom it is a big hurdle as anything less than the 70-200 2.8 will drive you nuts. Not counting of course a 200 prime but that is somewhat restrictive.

The 70-200 2.8 isII is the best lens made. It will make you angry with other lenses, even other lenses at other focal lengths as to why none of them work as well or get as clean of an image. It's gods hammer. I still love my 50mm 1.2 though. Those 2 could get me through 90% of my life.

December 20, 20177 yr They keep putting bowties on pigs and calling then pickup trucks. Don't mean the pigs ain't getting prettier. :D.

I can relate thought, is about how I felt about Super Bad and all of the Hangover movies. Guess it's like Matt said and just comes from the nostalgia. I can remember having to beg to rent movies like that or Porkies or Meatballs. Lol
