Nifty Fifty. After the 2x crop factor, you have a very fast 50mm f1.4 lens that works great in low-light conditions and lets users achieve a shallow depth-of-field. At f1.4, the bokeh has a very smooth appearance that’s ideal for portraits, enabling true subject/background separation. When you do stop down, you still have a smooth transition thanks to the seven-blade circular aperture.
