Junglejim1949, I too fell for the 50mm propaganda. I now have two of Canon's cheaper 50's and couldn't be more disappointed. They're not clear or sharp. Small and light, yes. But, mostly worthless for real quality pictures. I have tried them on a T3i and 80D. Currently I am using a Sigma 10-20 lens and 17-50 with outstanding results.
If you want them to play with they are yours. Contact me via pm.
After reading reviews and gathering opinions on the 50 mm, f/1.8, STM, I was hit by the sense of "why
I bought it ?"...
So, i have been (at random times) doing exercises of futility using the fifty.
The attached photo was taken from a terrible position (one armpit over our front wall) @f/7.1, manual
focus and hand held. I think it is pretty sharp (where it was important to be), IMHO.
