Kind of mushy but not sure if it's caused by the lens or high ISO

I'd say the corner to corner sharpness is pretty good and uniform. 50mm f/1.8 is good value for money. That being said, I would've tested at ISO100 or 200 with longer exposure and a tripod when testing for sharpness.

what lens and series is it?

Looks average. Better than a zoom at least so you got that going for you. But a 50 on a crop sensor? why?

not bad. I would get a 28m or 35mm prime on a crop sensor personally. 50mm on crop is too narrow for anything other than portraits, but to each his own and limitation is good for creativity.
It says it in your exif data

maybe i'll try out a 35mm soon. I agree that the lens is certainly narrow but i'm liking it so far and i'll just have to work around it for photos. I generally try to learn towards small town photography and street

On aps-c the "one size fits all" focal length is 35mm, but for the uses you propose, you're really gonna want like 18mm. That's what you'll need if you want to be able to stand on the sidewalk in front of an interesting storefront on a smalltown street and get it into the frame without having to back your ass up into traffic.

I don't know the Canon DSLR world enough to recommend a lens, though.

rule of thumb, multiply focal length by 1.5 to get the full frame equivalent. technically the conversion is 1.6 for your camera but you're just trying to get in the ballpark of standard sizes.

whenever someone is discussing when/where/how to use a certain focal length, they mean full frame. for your crop sensor, 50mm equivalent would be a 35mm lens. your current lens is actually an 85mm equivalent.

here's a table you can use.

But are you shooting a proper exposure or raising in post after taking that 1600 pic to get a higher ISO equivalent?

It really shouldn't at the same view size as a lower rez Nikon FF. cANON anon asks a valid question: do you have a proper exposure with a good histogram?

Sharp enough for Canon's 50 1.8
It OK for that price

Canon's EF lenses never was top in terms of sharpness. Canon EF is about rendering and bokeh, Nikon F lenses is about sharpness

Though, nowadays, new lenses, tend to be sharp on any system

Not OP but I am a fellow noob with a Canon aps-c.
Can you point me towards a good source for learning how to histogram? Book, article, even a youtube video. It's the next thing I need to learn about.
