Review on Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II Fixed Lens - Discontinued by Manufacturer by Indal Kumar ᠌

This review is for beginners only. I bought it and after a couple of days of use I wanted to return it back, but I decided to figure out why the photo was out of focus. I read descriptions and reviews of more expensive fifty dollars, photographers' forums, articles on photography theory and descriptions of various features. In the end, I realized that it was me. Because I didn’t find normal explanations for beginners in the reviews, so here are my comments just for them (and it’s worth taking for beginners to try it). 1. It lacks an image stabilizer. This means that when shooting handheld, the shots will turn out bad (blurring from hand shake and out of focus from camera movement). It's better to shoot from a tripod. 2. Large aperture. This is neither good nor bad. This is an opportunity to learn how to work with her, because. different frames and different applications need different aperture values. If you shoot at "open" (i. E. at 1.8), then a small spot will be in focus, and the rest is blurry. Try to shoot one shot with several apertures (2, 4, 5.6 and more) and see the results. And shoot from a tripod. 3. Autofocus. Of course it is, but IMHO it is not needed in this lens. Try shooting in manual mode. Take a tripod, switch to shooting through the viewfinder (live view, and the instructions call it something in its own way), zoom in 10x (there is a special button) and focus manually. It's not as easy as auto focus, but 100% result. The difference between two frames (with auto focus and manual focus) will be significant. 3. Don't shoot in auto mode. Generally. Learn to work with manual modes in order to understand what parameters are responsible for what. This lens can shoot portraits, subjects, and landscapes. And in order to shoot, you need to understand and be able to work with the opportunities that the lens and camera give. 4. Shoot in RAW. This will help to fix jambs when choosing shooting options. There is no need to wait for miracles, but it will be possible to save a lot of personnel.
