Thoughts on EF 50mm

[Ramsden]

Same thread as the Sigma. I still have my EF 50mm prime and took this photo 2 nights ago from a moving boat on the Thames in London. Cheaper and easier to use than the Sigma?

Feedback for a willing learner, please

Part 2 the exposure priority

The small river was flowing fast but in the shade. Same camera and lens + tripod. I began with 1/5000 which triggered ISO 4000 and f2. I then came down 1/3200, 1/2000  and 1/500 and the aperture was still on f2, but the ISO had moved to 400.

Interestingly the next shot was 1/250 with ISO 200 but the aperture went to f1.8.

I then took the next 10 shots at ISO100 with the last one.0.5 and f16.

BUT for some reason the camera didnt want to shoot at slow shutter speeds such as 3 or 4 seconds. I waa in a cold darkish place on a river bank with cold hands - so called it a day.

One thing Im going to do is take a note book with me to document my trials and errors en site.

Thanks again
