Review on Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II Fixed Lens - Discontinued by Manufacturer by Jiang Anson (Jiang J ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I recommend to buy, the product is of high quality.

What can actually be said about this lens. On the plus side: the price pleases, on average it costs 3500 new, used 2022-2500, beautiful and juicy color reproduction, very sharp starting from f2.0-f2.2, draws portraits beautifully. Normal size and weight, convenient to take for a walk, relatively inexpensive filters. Of the minuses: you need to buy a lens hood separately, at one time I took JJC for 450, less than six months later, with a filter, I sucked a lot of dust on the rear lens, the lack of any protection and design features affect. Sometimes when focusing, the front lens can move for a long time, in general it is easy to miss the moment. Housing and mount made of cheap plastic. Entry-level glass, definitely worth the money, a good replacement or addition to the kit lens on xxxxD and xxxD series cameras. There will be a desire and financial opportunity, you can switch to another class of cameras and take Canon 50 1.4 or Sigma 50 1.4. The lens deserves a good 4!

Pros
  • Sharpness, dimensions, weight, price
Cons
