Review on Canon EF 50mm f/1.2L USM lens, black by nh Bnh ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

No complaints, I recommend to buy.

The colors and colors are good, practically identical to those of the older brother 85L 1.2, but the focusing is terrible; only at 85 does it move the lens in some way, and at 50 it moves fast and even intelligently, but it is still of no use. When there is insufficient light, the lens cannot focus properly and hence cannot catch anything. Everything functions swiftly, but under these particular circumstances, other glasses function quickly. When I bought it, I expected it to be able to focus quickly in low light, but it did neither. Neither the focus nor the sharpness were there. On apertures that are covered, it functions the same as everyone else's. You are not looking at a faceless journalistic zoom; rather, you are seeing at art glass. This is the primary distinction that I acquired by spending 50,000 dollars. You, yourself, are familiar with the universal 50mm staffer, and after all, there is no substitute for it! The remaining items are either instructions (a Zeiss and a watering can), or they are worthless garbage (samiyang token tamrons and other exotics, including from the USSR) Although the glass is superb with adequate light, I recommend it to folks whose lighting options are limited because it was the only high-quality similar autofocus Sigma that I had for a year before I sold it and it turned yellow. The rest of them, whether they weigh 1.8 or 1.4, are no match for him because they are in whole different weight categories; only the blind won't be able to tell the difference. But regardless matter what anyone says, Canon has no chance of winning this competition.

Pros
  • Easily transportable, condensed, and of high quality.
Cons
  • Even though it's on the 5D mark III, the autofocus is soft and unreliable. Even if it does not malfunction in any way, the lens block makes rattling sounds when it is shaken.
