Review on Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM lens, black by Sung-hoon Hwang ᠌

Used repeatedly both on crop and FF. Various. Took a test from friends. Some time ago I bought my own (on FF). At the expense of quality . It is not necessary to try on your carcass. Ask for any in the store. The lens should hit the spot the first time (by 1.4). If there is a problem, don't take it. I will clarify. It is not at all necessary to point to a special line. Point at the text that is slanted towards the lens, which abounds in store shelves. With this lens (serviceable), you can clearly see where the aim is (neighboring letters should be in pleasant bokeh). Those who write about the back / front focus of 2-3 millimeters overestimate their ability to accurately aim at an absolute point. In terms of sharpness. The lens is sharp. Professional quality guaranteed. However, if sharpness is your super-idea, then perhaps you should consider the 85 / 1.8 option (if the transfer of the smallest texture of the skin, micro-reflections of water droplets on the skin, etc. is important). The fact is that according to the laws of optics, the higher the focal length of the lens, the higher the sharpness. This has nothing to do with the model and, moreover, the price of the lens. The width of the L-series will never be sharper than the cheapest, for example, 50 / 1.8. At the expense of focal (resulting perspective, etc.) . On the crop: a clean portrait, maximum waist-high. In this case, you will be limited in choosing a possible shooting point. In my opinion, it is not convenient for a non-studio interior. In nature it's great. On FF: universal portrait and genre-portrait lens. On a deserted beach, when there is an opportunity to run around, and you want to shoot a model in full-length, preserving all the smallest details, then perhaps 85 / 1.8 is better (amazing optics, I tell you, but only in the conditions mentioned above). 85mm is flatter and "official", "looking from the side". 50mm - live, natural, "here is the model - you can touch it." Something like this.
