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

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I'm happy with it, the price and the quality, I recommend to buy it.

They say that it is fragile and is recommended to be worn only in a hood. So I did. On a crop, the focus of this lens often smears, on a full frame everything is in order. I do not know what it is connected with. On canon 100D, one out of 10-20 shots was in focus and was sharp in the open, on 6d one out of 10-20 was out of focus. Now they sell this lens mainly because of aberrations and because there is a more compact 40 forging.

Pros
  • Fast and sharp right from the open. Inexpensively, you can get cool photos with a small box, almost like on expensive optics. To the inexperienced eye, it will be difficult to distinguish from 50mm 1.2L. At the same time, the weight and price are much less than Lki.
Cons
  • The main disadvantage is chromatic aberrations, this is just a disaster. They disappear only if you cover the aperture to 4-5ki, they are not automatically removed in the lightroom, and then these color defects have to be edited for a long and tedious time in Photoshop.
