If it's the plastic fantastic 50 at f/1.8, yes, it is a nifty 50 too. But, if urban hipsters from Brooklyn are just applying 'nifty' to any ol' 50, including the $1000 all the way to $2200 offerings from Sony, Nikon and Canon, it's really just that their whiskers have grown too far into their brains.
On a slightly different note concerning the 50mm, I ask you this question because I’ve seen your posts over the years that have included a lot of technical knowledge; In reference to what mm the human eye is, the 50mm is often said to be the focal length of the human eye, not in terms of peripheral sight, but in terms of actual view. In other words when you look through a 50mm (not through an APS-C) of course, what you see is what you get. But I find that to be slightly inaccurate. When I look through my old 58mm Rokkor “I see what I get”. Some people say it’s more like a 55mm. Just curious to know what it actually is!
Thank you in advance.
