All weekend I am going to have Canon’s 50mm f/1.2L lens at my disposal. It should be good for the concerts on Friday and Saturday as well as my cousin’s wedding on Sunday.
It lets you do more with ambient light than is possible with the 50 1.8 and it is reasonably affordable to rent (not to buy). It’s also a big brute of a lens – not the sort of thing you want in your travel photography kit.

In the spring of 2005, I graduated from the University of British Columbia with a degree in International Relations and a general focus in the area of environmental politics. Between 2005 and 2007 I completed an M.Phil in IR at Wadham College, Oxford. I worked for five years for the Canadian federal government, including completing the Accelerated Economist Training Program, and then completed a PhD in Political Science at the University of Toronto in 2023.
