On a full-frame sensor it would be more of a "normal" focal length and then it makes a nice landscape lens as shown here: http://thephotophile.blogspot.se/2012/06/normal-focal-length-prime-lens-as.html<br /><br />Really any lens is good for just about any application, it just depends on your own vision, imagination and skill.Lanthus Clarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13911404055670236867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7958871883833531853.post-34827375741225598942013-02-08T11:27:23.193+01:002013-02-08T11:27:23.193+01:00What do you think of a 50mm f1.8 for landscapes, c...What do you think of a 50mm f1.8 for landscapes, city views ?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7958871883833531853.post-71939579037223944832012-07-14T23:45:43.874+02:002012-07-14T23:45:43.874+02:00Love using the 50 for portraits
