- A classic USM-focused poltos, not a toy like 1.8 and not expensive like 1.2
- Very fragile design, fully open soft, slow focusing
- Artistic portrait drawing
- Do not refer to the design of the lens as such. All problems are in the stability of the build quality (manufacturing).
- Aperture with all its consequences, price, USM and fast AF, beautiful blur, nice picture, good focal length. With FF draws better than on crop.
- With a strong excess of light at 1.4, there may be purple or red aberrations. For example, 1.4 around the moon or on a railroad track under the sun. However, at 1.8 it usually goes away. In Live mode and in video mode, autofocus sometimes rushes a little, but in normal mode everything is fine. It lathers along the edges, but is usually acceptable.
- A perfectly adequate design. I would say, albeit tritely, that in this part he easily "does" all non-L zooms. And in the picture, the majority of L-eks with variable focal length are already torn, at least from those with whom I managed to communicate. The most affordable native EF with aperture ratio of 1.4! A fairly fast, quiet motor, I would not say that the fact that it is micro USM somehow affects the speed / accuracy of focusing. Well, maybe just a little at speed, but personally I have enough. The front lens is rather shallowly recessed into the body. Budget size for filters. Inconspicuousness.
- Having read horrors about the fragility of the "trunk", before sheathing, I manually twist the focus so that it does not stick out. Shooting at 1.4 is not so easy, but it is possible with a certain skill, because sharpness is not always our everything!
- Aperture and solid performance of the lens.
- 1.4 and 1.6, to put it mildly, not very much. Only 1.8 is quite a sharp aperture. Subjectively, I had fifty kopecks 10 years ago, it was quite possible to shoot there at 1.4
- - Aperture -Colors - bokeh
- -There is no sharpness at an open aperture. You can shoot starting from 2.2, which personally does not allow me to achieve the desired results. -HA just hurt the eyes. - Cannot shoot against the sun. Catches rabbits. Blend doesn't help. -No hood included. - The price in 2022 goes off scale for such quality.
- 1. light 2. lovely pattern 3. compact
- As a beginner photographer, I have no particular complaints. Of course, you won’t shoot a full-length person with it from a distance of a meter, but this is understandable. Minor problems with the DOF, but I got used to it. Collects dust on the lens) It is necessary to clean regularly.
- everything that is characteristic of a portrait painter
- not worth the money, smears, no hood
- Quality build. Beautiful bokeh.
- Autofocus constantly blurs
- No
- Sharpness: a razor from 2.8, as many people notice, including in tests, at 2.2 is already more or less. Good aperture at 2.8. Compact, lightweight (on the 60D it is not noticeable at all, neither in size nor in weight). It lathers well compared to the 135 f/2L (which lathers on the open already nowhere cooler). Good colors and contrast. Inexpensive.
- Constructive: crunches when focusing (including autofocus), not lightning-fast USM, compared to those that are in good L. Autofocus often lags, even in good lighting. The trunk leaves, I recommend it and I twist it to infinity after use (to the extreme internal position of the trunk). The trunk is loose, I don’t know how this affects the optical characteristics, probably not in the best way. Front-back focus: required to check with a target upon purchase if the camera does not have AF adjustment. There are noticeable CAs on open holes.
- Aperture, speed, color reproduction. It's great to shoot even at dusk - it manages to give out good sharpness even with a fully open aperture.
- Color reproduction is good, but, of course, it is not even close to compare with L. Especially at 50 f/1.2L. The setting sun, for example, is difficult to remove - too strong color distortion. 3 lenses out of 4 need to be aligned. Because autofocus misses. And it's not the camera's fault. It is difficult to shoot in the theater, because there is a lot of noise during focusing.
