I'm blessed....I'll admit it. I work hard for what I've achieved, but I'm very grateful and humbled that I get to shoot with some of the best lenses in the world. I've shot with Zeiss, Sony G Master, Sony Zeiss and many more. I've also shot with nearly all of the Canon L lenses and many Nikon lenses to boot.
So one comment and/or request that I get quite frequently is, "Can you do some videos or shoots with some cheap stuff that the rest of us can afford? We love seeing your shoots but I'll never be able to afford that stuff."
Fair enough.
I remember the days of saving up income for good amounts of time to be able to afford gear. I REALLY DO. Those days aren't too far in my past. So I decided to start adding (yes I bought them), some cheaper lens options into my gear arsenal so I can represent and reflect all of the photographers that follow my work and my Youtube Channel.
So recently I did a shoot using the Sony FE 50mm with the Sony A6500 inside of an old train. The shoot was quick as we had only 15 minutes to complete it. I think that's a good thing because it shows you what was able to be created without an elaborate setup or time that could honestly make the lens look better than it is.

If you haven't already please take a moment to check out the video that we rolled that will show the focus tests, the shots using natural and artificial light and more. The video explains much more than I can properly articulate here in a blog post, so I kindly invite you to watch it now.
For those who have already watched it you'll know that for $200, I think it's a pretty sweet little lens that is a welcome budget friendly addition to the Sony mirrorless lens lineup. Below are the shots taken at the shoot. All of them have been edited using Lightroom and Photoshop. I hope you enjoy...:)
The model is the beautiful Cassandra Caballero. Please let me know what questions you have...and thank you for watching!!
