Review on Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM lens, black by Bima ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good product at a good price, I recommend to try it.

Used this lens for several months. Of the pluses, it’s certainly aperture, although for beginners it’s worth telling that not everyone will be able to shoot well at 1.4: Firstly, the sharpness at 1.4 leaves much to be desired (which is not always bad for a portrait). Secondly, the depth of field is too small. In fact, most shots will start at f/2.0 which is also very good. Many people have problems with light impacts of this lens, especially when the proboscis is extended. In general, the design is quite gentle. The price is also a little high in my opinion. In addition, do not forget that 50mm is the distance for a studio portrait . but on the FF, but on the crop it is already a reportage portrait for the street. For me personally, these focal lengths turned out to be inconvenient - in the room I need a wider angle. In the end, I sold this lens, I don’t regret anything.

Pros
  • Aperture Autofocus with ultrasonic drive Nice drawing
Cons
  • Chromatic aberration Gentle constructive Price
