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

Revainrating 4 out of 5

What you need, a cool purchase, I advise you.

The question that torments the minds of many . is there any point in buying when there is 1.8? I answer . Of course there is a difference, but an amateur will not notice it for sure. Also, with a covered aperture greater than 2.0, there is no difference with reflected light. With point light sources, the situation is different. The bokeh shape is better. These pentagonal "quality marks" no longer exist. On an open hole, the lens also outperforms its younger brother. 1.4 - working, but really strong HA. But during the day, again, you need to be able to shoot with an open hole. And it's still not easy. Today the sun was hot, I had to find a deep shadow and make a very fast shutter speed. Here you understand all the beauty of neutral gray filters. Conclusion - if you are an amateur and do not work professionally - take 1.8. From 1.4 you will not get masterpieces. I personally know photographers who charge a lot of money for shooting, but they shoot at 1.8 and get really good photos. If you are a photographer and specialize in portraits, you can take it. It gives more freedom for creativity. I emphasize that he is better, more comfortable, but he has not gone far ahead. It is more profitable to buy 1.8. Although for FF for a portrait, 85mm is better. For crop it is the most.

Pros
  • Aperture, weight, compact dimensions, ultrasonic motor, Japanese assembly, thread diameter 58 mm, which means cheap filters, relatively affordable original lens hood
Cons
  • A flimsy construct, a moving trunk with a front lens, not a tenant without a lens hood .
