I just got the R50 for my trip to Tokyo next month and Im honestly so overwhelmed. The kit lens it came with is okay I guess but I really want that blurry background look for street photos and portraits of my girlfriend. I only have about $250 left to spend which I know isnt much. I saw people talking about a 50mm 1.8 lens but then I read something about crop sensors and numbers changing? Does that mean the 50mm becomes a 80mm? Im so confused. My logic was just buy the cheapest one but I dont want to waste money on something that wont even fit. Do I need an adapter or something? Sorry if this is a total facepalm question I just really dont want to mess this up before the trip...
> Does that mean the 50mm becomes a 80mm? Exactly. That 1.6x crop makes the Canon RF 50mm f/1.8 STM a 80mm equivalent. In my experience, its unbeatable for bokeh. I remember using it in Shinjuku; that f/1.8 aperture is essential for night street shots. The Canon RF 28mm f/2.8 STM is wider but offers less background separation. Honestly, just get the 50mm. You wont need an adapter since it fits the RF mount natively.
