First time using the 50mm. Decided to test low light first.

A minute of various stuff shot outside with the stock lens. Including a few rack focus shots.

Ok, that's it, I'm sold. As I stated in the Rollerblade-video as well, seeing the sample videos from the T2i and the samples from the 7D, I just wasn't convinced the video-quality was the same. But seeing this, especially the low light footage, I know now I was wrong. Nothing stopping me from saving me $600 and buying the T2i instead. Then I'll spend my saved money on a nice lens or zacuto-viewfinder!

It is quite good. I was surprised myself.

Here's a new clip. Fairly low light, lots of shadow. Shot with both lenses and converted to B&W.

Beautiful low-light shooting! Can't wait for my 1.8 50mm to arrive...!

Thanks, Sam.

You can't really do a rack focus with it but it's sharp as a tack and great in low light.
I'm sure you'll love it.
