I contemplated, researched, drooled, contemplated some more and then I did it! I bought it! This little wonder has been on the wish list since I started! I have the older 1.4 version that is a 1/5 of the cost and I have been so thrilled with it! However, I’ve always wondered… “Is it reaaallly worth it”….”is there realllly a difference??”…….”Should I?… Should I?????!” …..The answer is YES! I should have! A long time ago! I should have invested in this little masterpiece since day one! I may be in love. It ‘s too soon to tell, but since UPS dropped her off at my doorstep this afternoon, we’ve had an instant bond! haha I know i’m over the top but that’s just HOW MUCH I LOVE IT! It produces creamy yet crisp images all in one! It’s a beautiful thing and I’m just soooo excited to try it out tomorrow! So now, ladies and gentlemen, I introduce the newest member of the Inspired Designs camera bag, CANON’s 50mm 1.2!!!

I actually got to try it out a little bit tonight on the new furry friend around town! We had a college night at my youth minister’s house and so I shot a few of their newest member of the family! He’s a cutie! If you’re wondering “just what is so great about this lens?!” Let me tell you! When you look at these images, realize there is NO natural sunlight and the room only had two small lamps (no flash was used!). This lens is INCREDIBLE in low light while shooting wide open! It’s just awesome! Also, notice how clear the subject is and how great the DOF  (Depth of Field) is! I’m still learning but I can tell from 30 minutes of use that this is by far my NEW FAVORITE! Photographers, if you’re on the fence about this one, go ahead and GO FOR IT!
