Re: OK, you finally got it right

I was a newbie when I was undertaking use of an EF 75-300 on an NX300. It wasn't easy. The Canon FD 50mm f/1.8 is a pleasure to use, though mine has resided with family since I upgraded to the FD 50 f/1.4. The magnification makes it quite easy to shoot with on NX, and at ISO 800 it is has acceptable shutter speeds even in dim indoor lighting. The shallow depth of field may make it difficult indoors for the OP though since it seems he is shooting moving subjects. Outdoors or in better light putting the aperture to f/5.6 or f/8 makes for a sharper shot with less vignetting, but less bokeh. That deeper DOF will make it better for moving subjects. I would never recommend selling the 50 f/1.8, it's too good of a lens to part with for the low cost. Even of the OP isn't ready for it now he can grow into it.
