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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Everything in the product suited me, the price is generally perfect.

This glass gives a unique picture and pattern. It attracts. Some here compare with two lenses with a diagram of 1.8 and 1.4. Some people think why do I need 1.2, I still shoot at f2 more often, so I'll take 1.8 or 1.4. It's not the diaphragm. On the same aperture, for example, 1.8, all 3 glasses will give a different picture. And the L lens is the most chic here. Autofocus is very fast, the sharpness at 1.2 was amazing, at 2.8 it was just a razor. And what a magical background he makes. I'm blown away by this lens. He is the top among 50mm. At 1.2, the grip is so small that autofocus accuracy is very important, so if you miss, either go to the professional camera menu and adjust the focus point in your 5D camera, or if the camera does not have such a setting, take it to the service for maximum fine tuning for your camera. Then autofocus will be very accurate. I didn’t need a setting in the camera, everything is set to 0 in the menu. The color rendition is very pleasant, the colors are really vibrant. 10 times I recommend this lens. Budget 50mm lenses, no matter what aperture, lose a lot in the picture, they just have different optics. Examples of photos without processing and editors for clarity, what kind of picture the lens produces, I attached to the review. All photos taken on 5D Mark 2, f1.2, ISO auto, shutter speed auto, handheld, focusing through viewfinder.

Pros
  • Unreal drawing like from a magazine. All the same, L glass of the same brand as the camera creates some kind of magical picture. Most likely, the camera knows the characteristics of the glass and corrects its optical distortions.
Cons
  • Price 120at the time of writing. But what you wanted was the top-end L series, there are no cheap glasses.

Got pros: Excellent aperture, excellent bokeh, fabulous clarity. Good size, comfortable to hold, wide ring. Cons: Not suitable for portraits. Plus, it gives a hotspot for IR shooting (and not sickly).

Cool glass, although in our time the price for it is a bit overpriced.
