Review on πŸ“Έ Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM Lens with Speedlite EL-100: Ultimate Photography Bundle by Adam Walendzik ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A really necessary purchase, glad I found this product.

For a very long time, the plastic of science fiction needed to be updated and improved, and I believe that Canon did a wonderful job with this aspect of the project. The autofocus drive and virtually nonexistent yaw are, of course, the two primary benefits. I would take the 50mm by 1.4 for myself, of course, but after trying several variants of this glass and a significant number of marriages as a result of the flawed operation of the ancient usm drive, it irritates me to the point where even the plastic half-tone strikes more frequently. In overall, a half stm at 1.8 is quite satisfying, and he assumed his permanent position in the bag.

Pros
  • 1. high-quality materials, zero backlash, and, at long last, a metal mount. 2. somewhat crisper than the plastic version; this is owing to the Canon Super Spectra coating; nonetheless, the difference in sharpness is so subtle that it is difficult to perceive; however, the contrast in the backlight has risen. 3. At last, a rounded diaphragm composed of seven petals is placed, and the resulting bokeh will always have pleasing circular patterns. 4. stm motor, which, despite the fact that it buzzes like a robocop, still operates softly, and, most significantly, continuously hits the right position with only approximately 1-5% marriage. This is a significant advancement in the field. 5. Because yaw is not present, focusing is sped up, and the ability to focus on many objects inside a condensed space (the distance between them being one meter, for example) is accomplished more quickly than with a 50mm by 1.4 lens. 6. Finally, the hood mount was put directly on the body, as opposed to being installed on the trunk, which is another welcome change. 7. The minimum focusing distance has been lowered to 35 centimeters, which may not seem like much but is a welcome improvement.
Cons
  • 1. focusing in manual mode is not carried out directly but rather through an STM drive. While this reduces the camera's efficiency and speed, the focusing process is quite smooth, and it is a delight to turn a light ring. However, you have to switch on the camera before you can move the trunk such that it fits within the room. 2. The focusing speed is quick; however, the speed from mdf to infinity is slower than the speed of the plastic version and slower than the speed of the 50mm 1.4. 3. Although I don't think this is a deal breaker by any means, I think the body material might be denser.
