  Me too – see my previous post :)

  To be honest – I gave up and am waiting on one coming in from Calumet in Belfast – £67. Or you could try Kerso?

  I thought the Nifty Fifty was the 50mm f/1.4?

  I stand corrected!

  Wikipedia, when searched for “Nifty Fifty” says: “For the Canon lens, see EF 50mm f/1.8 II.” :)

  I thought my 50mm 1.4 was a nifty lens, I guess the 1.8 must be niftier!

  Cheers,
  Dave.

  Neil, if you haven’t already got sorted, I have a 50 1.8 for sale. It’s in very good condition. I bought a 50 1.4 this week, so I don’t need the 1.8 anymore. Comes with a Canon UV Filter. Boxed. £50 will do the trick.

  If Neil doesn’t want that, I’m pretty sure that my friend would take that nifty off your hands (I’m Nikon myself) so can I have first dibs please if Neil’s not interested.

  Thanks for getting back to me Neil.

  Psybear- my lens is still up for grabs since Neil is sorted. Have your friend to drop me an email and we will get something sorted. If not, I think there is someone else waiting in the queue!
