Does this have the best field of view with the 50mm

I believe personally, yes. I can find my target much easier. I also prefer the 50mm for the amount of light entering the scope giving me a much clearer view on the target. I have 50mm Nikon scopes on all of my hunting rifles

To be honest I have a 30 mm and it sits just a tad to low for me but I'm pretty tall I would recommend a taller mount just to be safe the 50mm might fit but it would be real close

I agree as well with the others. I own the Tamron and love the lens. Very sharp and works great for general use but the 50 I have heard is a great lens. If you don't mind using your feet instead of a zoom you should be good starting with the prime.

Yes it does, and will perfom better in a crop factor, de quality of the image will be sharper. Im happy with this lens.

Yes. The sensor is fantastic and the camera balance using 50mm and 85mm lenses is very good.

YES!!! I would recommend the lense especially to have that option of zooming when you may not be able to get closer. With a fixed range you have to zoom with your feet. Its a really well rounded lense. IMHO

Standing in the same position, you'll capture a wider image with this lens than without. I'm not convinced that it's 50% more, though. There is some noticeable blurring around the edges and even the center of the image is not quite as sharp as without this lens attached, if you zoom in to the picture in post-processing.

I have an 18-55mm lens so yes on that and not sure on the 50. Still learning a lot on this camera. Hope i helped though;)

It means 50 mm lens or 44 mm lens it does affect your field of view. I do like the 44mm lens it's just about perfect for long or short range.

You can either do the 50mm or 35mm. Price is very different but either two will do the job great! I have both and use the 35 more because I feel like it is slightly sharper and it is better if you are in a smaller space.

It's a 50 mm fixed lens. I am able to get fairly close to subject and focus, but not macro

The 85mm is more zoomed in than the 50. You may want to look into getting a 35mm lens.

I love my 35 but my 50mm 1.4 was what I started with and I still love it.:)

I think you would be very happy with it. Only problem is is what ever you see through the lens is what you get. Meaning you can not make your field of vision larger nor smaller. I think fore something like the sky you would do better with a lens that has a zoom on it. Good luck and have fun. Something I would love to be able to do.

I find the viewing area fine, you have several feet field of view at 50 yds. Plus you can see everything immediately outside the window since your eye is not cupped to the sight as it would be with a scope. I have mine mounted on a pistol, and it does take some practice in "finding" the red dot (the gun needs to be held/pointed fairly close on target to see the red dot in the window). It would be easier on a rifle. All in all, I really like the sight.

Yes. It's a very sharp lens. Better range than the 16-50mm kit lens though certainly heftier.

The best way to answer your question is to ask what you're using it for. If you are using it for portraits of family members, I prefer this over the 50mm. However, if you are looking for point and shoot lenses, this is not the one for you.
