A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Nifty 50 on a APSC sensor (alien.top)

So. My nifty 50mm F1.8 STM Canon lens on my SL2 yields a focal length of 80mm. Do yall think that is too "zoomed in" for daily use?

I really like a wide open 50 on aps-c for late night street and portraits -- it lends itself to a different way of staging shots that I like better than the typical 24-50mm FOV, though I usually carry a 18-55 zoom with me in case I get inspired to shoot something wider.
