this lens was purchased two weeks ago. I used to use an outdated model (Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II), but eventually upgraded to the Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM. The camera and lens dropped from a tripod at a height of 1.8 m while they were in use. The lens was upgraded, so I had to use the outdated 50mm 1.8. The camera is still alive. Of course, it was already unpleasant, but the new USM was making the toad choke, and the cost increased. I purchased USM for $13,000; the current price of $25,000 is unfeasible. A more or less viable solution then materialized. I should clarify that it was purchased and tested. STM video motors perform significantly better than the prior guy's "crunches". The motors are completely silent in the video while focusing. Even though I nearly always shoot with autofocus, the larger focus ring is actually much more convenient now, thus I can't really enjoy this moment. A metal mount, at least for me, is more of a show-off and calms the aesthetes' souls. However, the additional diaphragm petals are quite attractive in the bokeh. By the way, this lens exhibits the classic Helios backdrop inversion, albeit not as strongly as Helios. Nonetheless, it is present. Sharpness outperforms its elder brother in speed and accuracy. I'm happy with my purchase, thus I have no regrets. A frame on an unprocessed open hole, then:
