The 50mm lens is probably the most overlooked lens in your bag.

It’s cheap.
It’s small.
It’s “just a fifty.”

And yet… it might be the most versatile lens you own.

In this episode of the Weekly BrYangle Report, I’m breaking down why the 50mm f/1.8 has stayed in my kit for years — and how I’ve used it in ways most photographers don’t think about.

From:

🇨🇦 Canada Day on Main Street
🎄 A nighttime Christmas parade (including one of my favourite photos of Shelli)
🎡 The CNE — rides, crowds, chefs at work, and even handheld 1-second light painting
🏙 Urban exploration — including an 8-shot stitched prison cell pano
🌸 Close-up detail work
🔁 Reversing rings and free-lensing experiments

This isn’t a “buy this lens” video.
This is a “stop underestimating what you already have” video.

We’ll talk about:

• Why 50mm forces you to move
• Why f/1.8 is more than enough
• How to go wide without a wide lens
• Creative tricks that make one focal length feel limitless

The 50mm isn’t versatile because it does everything.

It’s versatile because it makes you think.

If you own a fifty, this one’s for you.
