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

I don’t regret a single that I bought 50 / 1.4, a very good lens. Great for crop portraits! For economical ones - buy 50 / 1.8 - you will lose almost nothing, except for the construct and some "brightness" and "saturation" - this can hardly be distinguished only by comparison. And without aperture 1.4 it is quite possible to do. Its pros: 0. USM motor is quieter than usual. 1. Focuses relatively quickly. 2. beautifully draws bokeh. 3. 8-blade aperture - these are beautiful circles and beautiful rays on night lights with a long exposure. 4. and of course the aperture ratio is 1.4, though at 1.4 the depth of field is so narrow that it’s difficult to aim anywhere, but you can shoot portraits, especially if the model is not very good)) 5. The lens is made heavy and looks great on my 550D, but on the 5D it looks already unnaturally small. Some cons: The trunk is leaving! A lot of people complain that even with a light blow on it, you can break the focusing ring. You have to be careful. Another drawback is that only a few will be able to distinguish between pictures taken with this lens and 3 times cheaper 50 / 1.8. For a very long time we compared 2 of these lenses in a full-time battle on 2 cameras (550D and 400D) - of course 50 / 1.4 won - it has richer and brighter colors, well, the ability to set 1.4 warms the soul. Naturally, 50 / 1.4 has a diameter of 58 mm versus 52 mm for 50 / 1.8. In a circle with a diameter of 58mm and more light gets in ! An iron rule for choosing lenses: the larger the diameter of the outer lens of the lens, the better it is, how much more its area, all other things being equal. And if there was a stabilizer here, it would be generally great. It's a pity that these are unrealistic dreams.
