I am new at this and I am wondering if it is possible to get NO blur. Everythig to be as sharp as possible?

How is whit this lens when you shoot in video mode. Is it ok to use it for stabile images or not moving objects???

Thank you

@ddcare Hi, if you want everything to be sharp or to be as sharp as possible, you have gotta turn down the aperture to smaller hole, in other words, larger f/number. All lenses have this capability of shooting at larger aperture value, and 50mm f/1.8 has e smallest aperture of f/22, which is not a problem for 'everything to be sharp'. However, the star function of big aperture lenses like this one is that it is able to isolate unwanted subjects in the picture, which many would wanna utilizes it.

@ddcare ofcourses, it can be used as a lens in video mode. if u are using entry-lvl dslrs (1000d, 1100d, 500d, 550d, 600d), the video will be shooting at a shallow depth of field, and u cant crank down the aperture to a smaller hole due to technical limitation on such cameras. ur manual focusing skills throughout the video recording should be good as the depth of field is thinner than other lenses and focusing might be challenging. it's is therefore also ok to video shoot stable subjects.

very informative! what 50mm lens would you recommend for nice round 'circles'?

[TheCanonlens]

@rileyXXS i would recommend 50mm f/1.4. at least it has nicer and rounder circles and of course, slightly better bokeh effect. =D However, if u are on tight budget, u will be glad with this f/1.8 lens..
