In my opinion, this is the most complex and capricious glass in the entire line of elek. It is unlikely that it will be possible to just wind it on the carcass immediately after the purchase and start threshing cool cards in series. It takes a long time to get used to 50L - despite the fact that I have had 35L, 85LII, 135L, 200 2.8LII for a long time, and the fact that I shot a lot with zooms 24-70 2.8L and 70-200 2.8L of the first versions, this fifty dollars for a long time did not give the…

I often read reviews on the net that it is simply not reasonable to overpay such an amount for the difference between f / 1.4 and f / 1.2, while some manage to compare the Canon EF 50 f / 1.2 L with Sigma 1.4! After the first trials of 50 f/1.2, I realized how wrong everyone is and how far from the truth. The colors and sharpness characteristics of the lens can only be compared with 135 2L. Canon EF 50 f/1.2 L - does not draw, he paints oil paintings. In the f/1.2 - f/1.6 interval, simply…

I took this lens after the 85L II in the hope that I would get something similar with a shorter focal length, since 85 was a bit too much for my subjects. As a result - apparently the most senseless lens of the L series, of all that I had to use. The picture cannot be compared with the 85L II and 70-200L II, the bokeh is indistinct and weakly expressed, the exact focus on the maximum open aperture is about the same rarity as on the 85L II, but almost everything can be forgiven for 85ke for its…

I decided to sell it and buy 135mm, as I specialize in facial portraits. At 50mm, the proportions are slightly different.

The lens is unique, after it everything that is darker than 2.8 does not satisfy at all and I really don’t want to buy zooms at all. With its pros. I've owned it for six months. It’s impossible not to love the lens, I always shoot from the camera with regret, because I don’t have other lenses that give a comparable picture. Produces crazy photos straight from the camera. Plus, a wonderful portraiture on crop. Some cons: - Chromatic aberrations at 1.2 in my specimen are very often detected. In…

One of my favorite lenses in the picture. I like that it is a little soft in close combat, it goes very smoothly from the sharpness zone to blur, just for portraits, while if you move further, the sharpness will increase, this is a feature of this lens, so it sometimes looks weak in tests. You need to test it from a greater distance, then it will turn out to be almost as sharp as 85 1.2 (only the edges will be weaker, which is logical, because the focal length is wider here)

I concur with the assessment that this model of Canon's L is their most divisive offering. I get everything, in 2006, it was exceedingly difficult to make an ideal picture at such an aperture, but in 2019, the lens can let you down. I do not have any regrets about making the purchase, however for those who are thinking about it, here are some things I think you should take into consideration: The idea of a sharp frame for a certain lens can vary from one to the next. You will be presented with…

I have been using the budget 50 / 1.8II for a long time (in conjunction with the Canon50D, there is still a zoom 24-105 / 4L), and then I took a friend to test 50 / 1,2L for a couple of days. I shot a rose stem with leaves with both lenses by the window during the day, setting the same aperture of 1.8 and shutter speed of 1/60 (in RAW, of course). I shot both handheld and with a tripod. There is no difference in sharpness, color reproduction is slightly better (but very, very slightly, which…

A fairly good lens, at first it washed a lot, but after I removed the protective filter and adjusted the focus, it became much better, after I bought a newer camera it became perfect. In general, I am satisfied with the product, but it is better to take it with a new, if I may say so, camera, since I had a mark 2, most likely the lens will open with cameras newer than 2022.

If compared with the EF 24-70 ƒ / 2.8L II USM, then if both are at 50mm and at ƒ / 2.8 (which is open for zoom!), Half-tone merges terribly in XA, in sharpness in general across the field, in autofocus, and in general throughout! It’s worth taking it now only if you like fixes, you need exactly fifty kopecks, high aperture and autofocus. I won’t write about bokeh, colors and pattern in minuses, nor in pluses. Someone really likes it, but personally I consider such people to have never seen…

The colors and colors are good, practically identical to those of the older brother 85L 1.2, but the focusing is terrible; only at 85 does it move the lens in some way, and at 50 it moves fast and even intelligently, but it is still of no use. When there is insufficient light, the lens cannot focus properly and hence cannot catch anything. Everything functions swiftly, but under these particular circumstances, other glasses function quickly. When I bought it, I expected it to be able to focus…

I bought it yesterday and I already want to share my impressions. Despite the fact that autofocus is slow and sometimes lathers in the open, it's just a Magic glass! I go and rejoice like a child. This is a 3D calendar maker. Just perfect for portrait photography. And I think everything else will also be useful. I had never held anything like it before. If you have the opportunity and understanding, take it!

love and hate this glass. 50 mm is my favorite FR, for which I will endure a lot))). but I don’t understand how it was possible to put such a price tag on this raw lens. On an open aperture (up to approximately 1.8), 1 out of 30 shots taken falls into sharpness. The bokeh is inexpressive. who writes that it's gorgeous - you just didn't shoot at 85L :) Chromatitis is disgusting, to shoot in the back and side light - do not feel sorry for yourself. I can’t evaluate dust and moisture…

I join the opinion that this is the most controversial L from Canon. I understand everything, in '06 it was extremely problematic to make an ideal picture at such aperture, however, in '19 the lens can disappoint. I do not regret the purchase, but for those who are considering it, I recommend considering a number of points: -The concept of a sharp frame for a given lens is relative. You will have to choose between such options as "not soft, but blurry", "sharp, but soft", "sharp, not soft, but…

Rented. I want to buy it, but it's terribly expensive :) Different pros: Art glass. A very interesting drawing. For this, he can forgive all the shortcomings or look at them through the prism of virtues. Aperture - you can blur an unnecessary background, highlight a model by vignetting, use its sharpness instead of changing the focal length . It's more interesting to work than with a vario lens. The crop camera has a cool portraiture, without a doubt one of the best. Dust and moisture…

This is the most favorite lens, I wouldn’t take it off the camera at all if some situations didn’t require a wider angle. It was partly because of this lens that I switched from Nikon to Canon at the time. He's really not just beautiful, he's perfect. I use it for most of my wedding photography, perfect for portraits and subjects. Certainly the price is high, but it's worth it. A must have for a professional, for an amateur
