Our favourite lens, 50mm lenses have been around since Adam was a boy, they are a single focal length lens, no zoom, just one focal length of 50mm.
Why 50mm? It is considered that 50mm on a full frame camera is the same perspective as the human eye. So images look like you are really there. Paired with the fact that most 50mm lenses have a high max aperture, usually 1.4 or 1.8, they also offer great creative control.
As a travel lens they are superb, consider this; they are small, inconspicuous, they shoot what you see, the fast aperture means you can shoot in darkness so no need to lug around a tripod and flash. Perfect.
