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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Best thing for the money, glad I did it.

Most of the shortcomings of the lens can be cured by slightly clamping the aperture. I think that this is almost an almost perfect portrait for a cropped martitsa. But on a full frame, the lens is almost useless: for a portrait - too strong distortion, for a landscape - too small a viewing angle. All that remains is a group portrait and, possibly, still lifes. Different pros: - A very large aperture gives a very small depth of field, and this can be used for some artistic purposes. - Good bokeh. - Easy. Has some cons - Aperture 1.4 has quite strong vignetting, although this can be easily corrected in Adobe Camera RAW. - There is too much distortion at full frame (for close-up portraits).
