After working too hard for too many months Management finally talked me into treating myself to a present, a Canon EF 50mm 1.4. I’m finding it a challenge working with a prime lens in that it requires more legwork to set up a composition. The depth of field is awkward for me in that where I think I have the right focal point via the viewfinder only to find out I missed the mark and ended up with something less than eye pleasing. That said I love being able to shoot in low light conditions without relying on the flash for every shot, however, I am now even more hungry for a 430EX as I think that it would work really well with this lens.
