The most inexpensive and the best, if you have a carcass + a limited budget and you hesitate with the choice - halibut 1.8 is what you need. Some write that the hole 1.8 2 2.2 is non-working, I don’t know, I used it on 1000D, 50D and 7D, I have all the workers and 1.8 too, the depth of field on this hole is minimal, so you need to remove it very carefully, with iron hands )) and the subject should freeze, well, in principle, this rule works for any glass. So if you take FotikKit, then the best…

I bought this lens to replace the whale lens and never regretted it . moreover, I had the opportunity to compare it with the Canon EF-S 17-85 f / 4-5.6 IS USM, which costs 2,5 times more and I liked the fifty dollars much more. In my opinion, for a beginner, this lens is the most it. Works out his money for all 200%. Perhaps someone will say that it is not so sharp, that the bokeh is plastic, that they say it is made of plastic and therefore it can break when dropped. Firstly, it's not as…

Definitely take. Don't be afraid to make mistakes. For a month you will squeak with delight and play with depth of field. Then decide for yourself - either leave it resigned to the shortcomings, or very easily and quickly sell the BU and buy 1.4, which is already a lot more fun in all respects. All jambs with front / back focus will pop up on an open hole if they are in the carcass. You will have to do the adjustment, which, as it turned out, is quite easy to do yourself without servicemen.

The lens caught with a strong front focus. I managed to fix this by soldering the jumpers inside. For those who are interested, look for the "EF 50mm F/1.8 II Self-Adjustment Guide". Focus misses much less frequently now. I shoot mostly at aperture 2.2-4.0. I advise everyone to understand what a fix with a constant aperture is. Now I would buy a Canon EF 50 f / 1.4 USM. I use it on crop (550D).

Thinking out loud like an aspiring amateur photographer on a budget. 1. imho this lens is a must-buy for all beginners in the world of photography (which I myself am). Very affordable price for such a fast lens. Unlike the 18-55 kit zoom, this 50/1.8 fix really makes the photographer think. True, with him sometimes you have to run around the subject, choosing the right angle and distance. But that's just the beauty of it. With him, I mastered and experienced depth of field in practice at…

Unless it will be a disadvantage for those who want to capture as much as possible in the frame, perhaps the entire wall in the apartment - it will not work. You need a wide angle. And this lens is purely portrait, autofocus is also focused not on the full frame, but only on the object that is closest. It is possible that in the museum, standing next to the exhibit, you will not be able to make the exhibit clear, it will be soaped up like a background. You will have to choose one of the two…

After living for 2 years, the lens rested in the Bose :( It fell apart from a fall from a height of 15-20 cm onto a soft carpet. This proved that its fragility was not accidental and it cannot end in anything good. In general, I was not satisfied with the lens, because. quite often he smeared with auto-focus. Later, autofocus stopped working - the mechanism just got stuck. Because I can’t imagine myself without a fix for 50, then I’ll have to buy a new one. In this case, the proverb that a…

Read a lot of comments here. I agree with many, which is why I bought this lens for myself. It blurs the background just fine. They can achieve the expression of their ideas by focusing sharpness on a particular area by focusing exactly on this point with a fully open aperture. With a slightly covered aperture, an excellent portrait is obtained (for which it was bought). The Canon EOS 60D catches focus perfectly even in poor lighting. It is ALWAYS aimed at the central point, without errors. If…

For about a year I shot on this glass (now I changed it to f1.4, about which I also wrote my review). The picture at the output, given its cost, you can safely put a solid 5-ku. Pleasant bokeh, excellent aperture. Of course, the price is due to the use of cheap plastic, the average quality of the lens assembly as a whole, the "diesel" focusing motor (the sound sometimes frightens him, especially in silence). Focusing is also a problem in some places. As soon as you bought it, immediately bring

Soap lens with overshooting autofocus. On open apertures 1.8 - 2.4 misses, the pictures are not sharp. 1 shot out of 10 will turn out more or less, and then if you're lucky. One advantage - on the “crop” it turns into a “portrait”, with a focal length of 80 mm. And with an aperture of 1.8 - 2.4, it creates the blurry background (bokeh) that is so significant for most photographers. But along with the bokeh, the portrait itself is not sharp. Moreover, the central autofocus point can be aimed…

A lens for specific purposes. If when purchasing a thing you don’t get what you expected, then these are not flaws. Another thing is if it does not correspond to the manufacturer's statements or some features are simply hushed up, but this has not yet been found in this lens, I have not conducted any special tests, except for the focus. They write about noise - it doesn’t bother me personally at all, I don’t do espionage - I don’t have to hide in the bushes. They write about fragility - yes…

Let me start off by saying that I am not a pro, but a beginner amateur. the lens was bought as a supplement to the donated whale D1000. I really liked the portrait shots, I just didn’t expect that for such money you can open up the possibilities of the camera in a new way . In the automatic settings mode, the pictures are indistinguishable from the "native whale" lens. The lack of zoom does not bother me much, but this "flaw" completely overlaps portrait shots

After the native 18-55 whale lens with a stabilizer, this one is perceived as cheap trash. I bought into the description (everywhere is about the same) "indispensable for shooting portraits" - I didn’t find anything indispensable in it, I didn’t get anything fundamentally new in the quality of the pictures, in comparison with the whale lens. On a whale, it’s personally more convenient for me to shoot in TV mode, but on this one it turned out to be on Av, that’s the whole difference. I think…

A very good entry-level prime lens. More than a year has passed since the purchase and I have never regretted that I bought it. After leaving the store, I immediately noticed that now a lot of surrounding objects do not fall into the frame and now I have to work more with my feet. But you quickly get used to it. If there is a feeling that the lens included in the kit is no longer enough, then I believe that this model is an obligatory step towards the formation of a list of lenses that you…

So I'm ripe for a review, what can I say, I regretted buying it, it's not for me. During the next photo session with a child on the street, I had to periodically put on whale lenses - 50 is a lot for shooting a large picture in the vicinity, periodically I had to move ten, fifteen meters away to shoot, for example, a child on a BTER or near a gun, otherwise not everything is included. At a strong distance, the lens begins to soap, quality is lost. This lens is purely portrait and macro-came…

After I bought myself a 50 / 1.8, I practically stopped shooting on a whale 18-55 IS. I take almost all the pictures (95 percent, if not more) for fifty dollars, despite the fact that I always carry a whale lens with me just in case. I sometimes use a kit only where a wide end or a stub is needed (this is a video and manual focus). I will only note that 50 / 1.8 requires some care when autofocus is working - at an open aperture, the depth of field becomes very small and, therefore, the…

Classic halftone. The cheapest fast fix, which does not affect its quality. Hole 1.8 is not always working, more precisely, as AF hits, from 2.2, the workers are completely. 9-point AF should be used carefully, preferably at the midpoint. The shortcomings described are more than covered by the image quality, excellent background blur, focus accuracy, and sharpness. must have. Requires careful handling, flimsy construct. If you manage to find the first version - tear with your hands. The…

My copy is a front focus master. That is, he always focused in front of the subject. I have a 7D and I adjusted it manually (according to the photo target), now everything is fine. The lens began to give a sharp picture even at f / 1.8. The color rendition of the lens is 3 out of 5. Very fast - and this is a class! To use it with a protective hood is to catch hares . And why, the lens is cheap .

In general, I'm happy with it, because I generally have a scourge kit)) 1100D SLR and this lens) it's not cheaper to find. I'm not a photographer and I don't even call myself a beginner. I photograph purely for my pleasure. And this lens is quite suitable for the same lover to take pictures of his dog, food and child)) But I also think that a professional can take normal photos with this lens. Although 1.4 50mm seems to be more stable, it is also 4 times more expensive. The main disadvantage in

Beginners are required to buy) I think that for such a price - just a gift from canon. For those who have not enough whale, I highly recommend taking exactly 50 1.8. This is an opportunity to feel what a fix is, what aperture is, what a normal portrait is. The lens is a portrait lens, because. on crop it will be about 85 mm, and it is unlikely that anyone will take exactly 1.8 for a full matrix) In this regard, it is narrow. In rooms, especially in apartments, it is constantly crowded, this is
