Review on Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM lens, black by Adhe Agung ᠌

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Some kind of defective product, I definitely won't buy it anymore.

I took it as a portrait lens for crop, in addition to 17-55 f2.8. In addition to the fact that bokeh is better, nothing pleased. Autofocus is often wrong, although it works quickly. On an open aperture, this is fatal. Chromatic aberrations hoo what. Even if you manually hover it accurately, it still lathers a little. All this goes away if you turn the aperture to 3.5, but: 1. Why is it needed then, there is 50 / 1.8 5 times cheaper. 2. A 17-55 f/2.8 set to 50mm at 2.8 is FASTER than this set to 2.8. That's the advantage of fix over zoom, yeah.

Pros
  • Aperture, dimensions. Good bokeh.
Cons
  • Overpriced. The trunk comes out. At 40d, autofocus is often mistaken, soft focus is present at an open aperture. HA.
