I am amazed at how well the product is made, just magically!

Great fix, legendary fifty kopecks! You won't find better for the price! Washes well and beautifully! 2.0 is sharp enough. I shoot at 5D. Happy as an elephant. I do not plan to switch to 50 1.2 yet, because I did not feel a particularly big difference, commensurate with the difference in price.

The product is not good, I will not buy any more.

Canon 50D camera. The USSR old lens "Helios-44" on this camera gives a much sharper image than this "masterpiece" from Canon. Firstly, autofocus constantly smears, and secondly - if it hits - then the picture is still "soapy" when zoomed in, there is no ringing sharpness even at aperture 5.6. On open holes - glow and the strongest purple XA. The lens is not worth the money.

Pros
  • Focus speed
Cons
  • Soapy! Focus misses! Chromatitis! Flimsy and plastic!

The product suited me, I will recommend it to my friends.

Very often this model is compared with the EF 50 mm F / 1.8, as they often choose between this lens and the subject. I tried both. At first I bought 1.8 and was quite pleased with it, but he ordered to live a long time, unable to withstand the impact of falling on the asphalt along with the carcass. The carcass, thank God, was intact. And then I bought 1.4. The difference is immediately evident. 1.4 is heavier and larger than its little brother. 1.8 - buzzes like a bee, and 1.4 slightly…

Pros
  • The main advantage of this model, I think, is the luminosity. Compared to the very budget fifty dollars 1.8, it is two steps higher. It is she who allows you to confidently take pictures almost at dusk without using a tripod. It is thanks to her that the lens perfectly manages without a stabilizer. And if there is a little more light than at dusk, then you can lower the ISO number, which will avoid grain in the pictures. Autofocus with ultrasonic drive is also very convenient - quite accurate and silent. Another plus is a beautiful bokeh pattern, a shallow depth of field with appropriate shooting parameters. The ability to manually adjust the focus without exiting the autofocus mode will be another nice little thing that brightens up the hard life of an amateur photographer. Sharpness. Sharpness is rather a feature of the lens, although it can also be attributed to the merits.
Cons
  • There are few shortcomings of the model, but they are significant. The first and foremost is the price. I bought my copy for 16 The second drawback is chromatic aberration. It's just some kind of nightmare. Any contrasting area of ​​the frame glows purple. So landscapes, especially on a sunny day, are contraindicated for this lens. Unless you narrow down the aperture. Even a full-length portrait in sunny weather fell victim to a purple glow, despite the fact that the contrast was not the strongest. But on the other hand, ordinary portraits with smooth color transitions look just great.

Best I have ever used, great product for anyone!

Good portrait glass (ideal for half-length or full-length portraits). Light. On an open aperture, it starts to fool around, so it's better to resort to manual focus. Compared to 50 1.8 does not seem so flimsy. Small, round, fits in any slot of a photo backpack. Always with you. When buying, I strongly recommend testing several copies at once, cases of front and back focus are not uncommon.

Pros
  • 1. Aperture. 2. Compactness. 3. Picture: artistic bokeh, good color reproduction, juiciness. 4. The price is quite acceptable for such glass.
Cons
  • Autofocus misses wide open.

It's impossible to use it, don't waste your money.

By the number of reviews, many have this model. I envy those who have been operating for more than a year (there are some). At the most experience of operation about a month. Further, not cheap and repair and sale. In general, with a little skill, the quality of the pictures is excellent, but the restoration of working capacity at a cost of 30% of a new one (consider EF50 f1.8) is beyond any limits . The only case when reviews on the Market should not be trusted. Bottom line: there are more…

Pros
  • Aperture
Cons
  • Design!

Good product for me, I was satisfied with the price.

In general, not a bad lens for its price. I used to use Canon 50mm F / 1.8, compared to it, heaven and earth, although the quality is not far gone Has pros: Aperture, good sharpness from F / 2, design (nothing dangles, unlike 1,8) in general, the picture is pleasing, with focus when focusing on the selected miss point (used with Canon 600D), fast autofocus Cons: slightly strange focus ring. It is inconvenient to change filters with a hood, you have to remove the hood, then screw the filter on…

Compared to 50 1.8, I liked the halftones, plasticity and bokeh. The ability to "finish focus" manually is great, and autofocus with it fails less and the amount of marriage is an order of magnitude less than with 50 1,8. From the positive sides of the case, the metal mount to the bayonet and that's it. For a novice photographer, there is probably no point in overpaying several times compared to the Canon 50 1.8, because they may not notice the difference. Other than that, a great lens for the…

Pros
  • halftone, bokeh, usm
Cons
  • frame

Good value for money, I recommend it.

-after whale super. -of course you need to get used to the fact that the focal length is constant. - with such optics, you immediately want to shoot flowers, leaves and insects, but who is interested in buying a macro lens. focusing distance will not let you get very close to the subject being shot. - I promise to post a photo for longer use. Has some pros 1. Aperture 2. I wanted a width of 28mm 1.8, but everything depended on the price. This one was a little cheaper. But it was the same in

I'm not a fan of primes as I don't like carrying around a bag of lenses, but due to its aperture it can do things that other lenses can't. For amateurs, optics should be taken if there is a desire to take thoughtful pictures or videos when there is a lot of time to take a picture. With a skillful approach, you can get simply amazing creative photos and videos. There is some magic in pictures. Very beautiful bokeh, good at night and can be shot without a tripod, as long exposure is not required.

Pros
  • Aperture, beautiful bokeh.
Cons
  • Heavily chromate.

Cool product, happy with the purchase, maybe Ill buy it again.

The 50/1.4 is a really high-quality lens, and I do not regret the purchase of it in the slightest. Wonderful for making crop portraits! For more affordable options, consider purchasing a focal length of 50 millimeters with an aperture of 1.8. You won't sacrifice much, if anything, other than the construction and a small amount of "brightness" and "saturation"; however, this is something that can almost never be differentiated solely through comparison. It is also entirely feasible to do so even

Everything about the product satisfied me, the price is perfect.

I have been using glass on the crop for more than a year. Indoors, of course, you need a larger angle, but on the street / studio it behaves just fine. Maybe I was lucky, maybe the stars aligned, but at 1.4 - ringing sharpness, no complaints. aberrations are easily corrected in any editor. The only negative is that despite the ultrasonic drive, the focus is rather long (when compared, for example, with tamron 28-75). In terms of fragility, many write that they accidentally knocked and that’s…

Pros
  • aperture, sharpness
Cons
  • vacuum cleaner, chromate at 1.4 - 2, focusing, no lens hood in the kit (for such and such money).

Poor quality item, not what it needs.

I am the "happy" owner of the second such lens. The first one withstood 7 years in field and dust conditions. If the first lens bought 7 years ago caused a feeling of delight. The picture quality is fantastic. Luminosity is excellent. Image detail is high. Given the price of the lens - it was an excellent choice! That. Bought half a year ago, the second such lens, caused a terrible disappointment. Wild chromatic aberration at full hole and vignetting, extremely low image detail.

Pros
  • Aperture Dimensions and weight
Cons
  • Wild image distortion, especially chromatic aberration. The service center said that this is the norm for this lens. Focus misses all the time . the lens smears. The setting doesn't help. I would willingly believe if I had not used the same lens for 7 years before. And he didn't know what he was capable of.

Exactly as promised by the manufacturer, high quality.

A very bright lens, it even surprises how bright it is. Focusing is fast and fairly accurate. When compared with 50 1.8 - noticeably lighter, faster, sharper. Allows you to shoot with slower shutter speeds - as a result of marriage (blur) is much less. The depth of field is unusually small, you need to train to start shooting as you need, but the photos do not leave you indifferent. In my opinion, the price should be no more than 9-10 thousand, but the market dictates its own rules. Do I need…

Pros
  • Qualitatively stitched, 1.4, very sharp. The chromaticity is almost absent.
Cons
  • The front comes out. No others.

Nothing ordinary, a normal product.

I never understood the release of lenses with a hole of 1.4, which start to really work only after 2.8 . Anyone who says that they "work in the open" I recommend to look at 50 / 1.4 Art from Sigma. Here Art really works with the open. But the price is different. I took it for "play", but as a result I practically do not use it. At 5.6-8.0 it is very sharp. If you need real work starting from open, I strongly recommend that you familiarize yourself with the above Sigma and try to bypass…

Pros
  • The "best" cheap fifty on Canon.
Cons
  • It starts working only after 2.8, and even better - after 4.0

Best I have ever used, great product for anyone!

this lens is good for portrait photography. you can’t shoot a group of people, or not everyone gets in, or you have to leave. in general, an excellent fix for not very expensive Some pros: beautiful and clear picture, I really like how the background is washed, everything is very bright and juicy. compact and lightweight. price and quality at the level Has cons: autofocus is accurate, but the sharpness at close distances is not very . I tried to shoot small flowers, pointed, sharpened, and…

The right product for me, the price suited me.

After completing the repairs and making some attempts to continue shooting crops while in autofocus mode, I put it away. The moment I mounted it on a camera that had a travel autofocus mode, it began to function properly. This "handicapped character" lens remains, to this day, my personal favorite. It's my very first time using a fixed focus. Its advantages include the fact that, in the right hands, a costly picture may be given out "straight from the camera," independent of the equipment that…

No complaints, I recommend the product for purchase.

Primitive lenses aren't my thing because I don't enjoy lugging about a backpack full of lenses, but this one has an aperture that allows it to perform things that other lenses can't do. Optics are an essential piece of equipment for casual photographers who want to capture meaningful moments in still or moving images when they have plenty of time to work with. You can acquire some truly wonderful and unique photographs and films by employing some technique in your approach. There is a certain…

Pros
  • aperture, and the bokeh is stunning.
Cons
  • Chromated to a high degree.
