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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great product, best quality.

I use crop (60D) sharpness at 1.2 is quite good) pattern, colors, and glare at a height) autofocus is quiet and tenacious even on crop, on the technical side the lens is very well made, if there is backlash or some other shortcomings, these are problems of a single lens , I have no problems even with used ones. The price at the moment is new 55+ k on ebay with delivery 47 from america the cheapest I saw (but the difference with the fact that we don’t service American under warranty in a service center), used it is possible to buy from 40-45+ k but when buying a used one, look at the packaging number and the number on the lens itself, otherwise the SC may refuse to repair even if there is a guarantee) In general, the lens is worth its money with the younger models 50 1.4 and 50 1.8 it makes no sense to compare a completely different level if who writes that the difference with 50 1.4 is not big, he simply did not even hold 1.2 in his hands)

Pros
  • as many have written - luminosity - constructive (not the same as that of 50 1.4, the trunk does not leave for another half a centimeter, and this gives the advantage of TC 1.4 in the bag fell from a distance of 30 cm to the floor and the leaving part fell into the bottom of the repair) - drawing (very different from 50 1.4) - autofocus on par with 50 1.4 (no slower)
Cons
  • - focus at close range, but this is rather not a minus, but a feature of optics - it is not convenient to remove the cover when wearing a hood - HA big enough
