Review on Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II Fixed Lens - Discontinued by Manufacturer by Kirana ᠌

Not a bad budget fix, given its price, made with dignity. The FF is a good fixed lens for long-range portraits (although I see no reason to use such cheap glass on the FF, because its MTF is rather weak for a fix). On the crop it is an excellent portrait lens, the equivalent is 80 mm, which gives the correct proportions when shooting a portrait close-up. It washes not badly, and with a hole of 1.8 it also does not weakly wash the depth of field zone. A hard test in the studio showed that the maximum sharpness is only in the 2.8-14 fork, but the 2.5 is already working. Autofocus really misses, and both outdoors and indoors, without a lens hood, it does not glare weakly. The manual focus ring is small, inconvenient to use when wearing a lens hood, the small travel of the ring does not allow you to fine-tune the focus. In general, the lens left a good impression, given its cost, of course, it is great as the first fix, it will pleasantly surprise all owners of whale optics with its lightness and sharpness (in the fork indicated above), but this device is unlikely to lead to owners of L-optics delight, even considering its cost.
