Review on Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM lens, black by Aditya ᠌

Revainrating 2 out of 5

It is impossible to use, a bad product.

Ugly. Why is this expensive glass when there is a non-smearing 1.8 ? My 1.8 has a working aperture of 1.8. I did not even think to shoot them at a narrower aperture. Works with a bang. And this one. I use it with Canon 5D. More precisely, I do not use it, but I suffer. Constant misses. Those that say that the picture is better than that of 1.8 = are cunning. The picture is practically no different. Bokeh, of course, blurs better, but this is due to aperture 1.4 - which is not working. And on 1.8 the picture is no different. I will probably sell it. There is nothing to me for such junk. And for portraits, I have a Jupiter 37a super lens - this is a really sharp and beautiful lens, albeit a manual.

Pros
  • Light. The view is better than that of 1.8 - but this does not make it easier.
Cons
  • You constantly think that he must miss again. Focus smears for a sweet soul. 1.4 is not a working aperture at all. The misses are not large at all, by 1-2 centimeters, but with its depth of field - it just infuriates. Normally, you can shoot only with 2, and even that is in question.
