I usually found myself working with a 50mm prime and a zoom lens, preferably a Canon 70-200mm. I might occasionally push in further on a zoom for a small amount of time, but I know I can hold 50mm and get rock solid shots.

Wider lenses just can't compete here. You can use this lens's versatility to your advantage to create a variety of compositions. That all changed when I returned to my narrative roots by adding reenactments into my documentary work. I also like 50mm for the composition size, it forces you to look at the frame and ask, "what's of interest." For full-frame cameras, normal lenses like the 50mm create a field of view similar to your natural eyesight. Rohmer was also renowned for his use of the 50mm lens, the lens most approximate to the human eye, and combined with his preference for discreet medium shots and natural lighting, the Academy ratio allowed his audience to remain close observers to the foibles of his often bemused, endearing characters, yet never intrusive. All cameras listed are noted directly from the IMDB technical specs page for the respective film. 50mm is also about as long as I like to go when shooting hand held video. In one of my previous posts, I gave you the reasons why you should buy a 50mm lens.After posting the article, I thought you should see some photographs taken with a 50mm lens so that I can prove my point.
