A high-quality product, the price corresponds to the quality.

A good lens for a beginner photographer. It has a pretty nice pattern. It is quite universal on the crop, and on the FF they can shoot the whole wedding, from beginning to end. Now I switched from it to Sigma 50 1.4. Still, 50 1,4 from kenon is a fairly old model, and if I'm not mistaken, it was also developed for film. Has some pros Nice drawing. Fast focus. Worked and +45 and -30 without complaints. Cons below: Not very sharp wide open, up to 2.8. The trunk is the weak point of the lens.

It's not all bad, an average quality purchase.

He is fifty dollars in Africa and fifty dollars, this is a kind of standard. Canon currently has three. I already wrote about "plasticity-fantastic" 1.8, 1.2 is not and most likely will not be, so for now I use 1.4 USM. Of the pluses - if it hits, then a beautiful picture with pleasant colors and a recognizable "fifty" pattern. Aperture 1.4 helps out in situations where there is very little light, and the flash is impossible, or you just need to blur the back into the trash. Of the minuses…

Pros
  • A classic USM-focused poltos, not a toy like 1.8 and not expensive like 1.2
Cons
  • Very fragile design, fully open soft, slow focusing

I really like the product, it fully meets my expectations.

Used repeatedly both on crop and FF. Various. Took a test from friends. Some time ago I bought my own (on FF). At the expense of quality . It is not necessary to try on your carcass. Ask for any in the store. The lens should hit the spot the first time (by 1.4). If there is a problem, don't take it. I will clarify. It is not at all necessary to point to a special line. Point at the text that is slanted towards the lens, which abounds in store shelves. With this lens (serviceable), you can…

Pros
  • Artistic portrait drawing
Cons
  • Do not refer to the design of the lens as such. All problems are in the stability of the build quality (manufacturing).

The product suited me, I will recommend it to my friends.

In general, a good lens. I have not found any problems with the assembly yet . nothing of what they write about here. Perhaps it is for now. When used with a cropped camera, it is not always possible to shoot outdoors at home, as sometimes it is not possible to move far enough or take the desired position. With FF, the angle is already wider and the purpose of the lens changes a bit. Allows you to do decent macro photography, although it is not intended for this. Overall verdict: a useful…

Pros
  • Aperture with all its consequences, price, USM and fast AF, beautiful blur, nice picture, good focal length. With FF draws better than on crop.
Cons
  • 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.

I was surprised by the quality for the price.

Bought over two years ago. I wanted to catch up with zooms (on canon f / 2,8 - a well-known limit) to get something fast. I planned to use it on both the film EOS 3 and the EOS 40D. I chose from five copies, screwing it to the last one, only one hit right on target. Yes, it's soft at 1.4-1.8, but sometimes it's better to remove the "software" with an acceptable shutter speed and then correct it in PS than to get a "hard", but daub. On EOS 3 for a long time there was no desire to shoot with…

Pros
  • 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.
Cons
  • 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!

I didn't expect the quality to be so high.

Bought from Camera Room. The price is significantly lower compared to others. Shipping is expensive, so I came myself. The seller from Bangladesh Ricky is a very good-natured guy. He does not speak 2022 well, and both of them are wearing masks. Nevertheless, we understood each other. Bought a protective filter there. Ricky picked. Big respect to the seller.

Pros
  • Aperture and solid performance of the lens.
Cons
  • 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

The product suited me, I will recommend it to my friends.

I will definitely take one! Complete with Canon EF 24-105 f / 4L IS USM and Canon 5D will be what you need! With its pros. For portraits, that's it! Himself a novice photographer, a week ago I took a SLR, the kit was Sigma 17-70, I took pictures with it, I decided to try it for fifty kopecks - a completely different level! I understood what aperture, bokeh, excellent detail and just a high-quality lens are! God forbid shooting landscapes on it is a completely different picture, but it was not…

I'm not particularly happy, but basically everything is fine.

I used it as a staffer on crop (60d), now I use it on 5d. On FF, the glass certainly looks different. Reveals fully. However, the cons outweigh all the pros. The price is very high. Abroad, you can easily buy a Japanese assembly for 9000r. I took the Japanese assembly in Hong Kong, which was 2500r more expensive than the Taiwanese one. As a result, the trunk loosened after 2 weeks. Apparently, the Japanese assembly consisted only in the inscription on the lens "Made in Japan". Glass has not

Pros
  • - Aperture -Colors - bokeh
Cons
  • -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.

The best I ever used, recommend it to everybody.

I bought it more than a year ago, I use it with 500D. For me, he is the only one so far, compared with whales - not that, as a result, I bought exactly fifty dollars. In the 50s there are beautiful colors, a beautiful pattern, I like everything. For portraits and product photography, it is very good. A hood is a must buy. Here, many write a la "twisted the focus ring - bent." As? I understand that you men are stronger, but this is not a reason to turn off spare parts for the lens)))

Pros
  • 1. light 2. lovely pattern 3. compact
Cons
  • 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.

Second-rate product, won't buy it again.

Expensive and generally useless thing. The calculation is simple: Do you want a portrait from a famous manufacturer, but do not have enough funds for the L-series? This is the case when the miser pays twice. But if there is no money for L? This model is not worth considering. There is a less famous Sigma. Or EF50f / 1.8 - the pleasure of saving money, the quality of the pictures is better with a healthy nervous system.

Pros
  • everything that is characteristic of a portrait painter
Cons
  • not worth the money, smears, no hood

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Overall good, but I expected more, there are disadvantages.

I first shot it for fifty dollars 1.8, but after reading reviews, I sold it and bought a canon 50 mm 1.4. Our relationship didn't work out right away. despite the fact that there are other fixes 85, 40, 35 mm. Everything has always been great with everyone. But it is with this fifty kopecks that half of my staff goes into marriage. constantly smears, soaps, does not fall. Disappointed and sent for adjustment. The answer came that everything is buzzing. I start shooting - everything is the same…

Pros
  • Quality build. Beautiful bokeh.
Cons
  • Autofocus constantly blurs

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Terrible quality, disappointed with the purchase.

I used all three hundred and fifty dollars worth of Canon products, with the exception of the macro 1,4. I believe that making that purchase was a huge mistake, and I will explain why. When looking at the photo, you realize why you invested in an SLR))) the quality of the image is significantly improved. Typically, a beginner or amateur photographer will purchase a 1,8 after purchasing a whale one, and there is no limit to their happiness after doing so. When you get to this point, you don't…

Pros
  • No

I like everything, the price and quality are acceptable.

In terms of optical characteristics, the lens is very good. By design - mediocre, I have 17-40L and 135L, in comparison with them, the lens is flimsy and does not inspire a sense of reliability. General comment: a must have if you are doing portrait photography, the lens fits very well on a crop. For this money it is difficult to find something similar in characteristics. At 50 f/1.2L, apart from the aperture stop, there will undoubtedly be better mechanical performance. Optical performance…

Pros
  • 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.
Cons
  • 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.

Great product, a pleasure to use.

Excellent budget fix model. I repeat, it is better not to compare with L, because the price category there is completely different. I think the number of people using 50 f / 1.4 speaks eloquently in his favor) I recommend it to everyone, because it goes well with both expensive and budget cameras. I've been using it for over a year and have never been disappointed. Universal thing.

Pros
  • 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.
Cons
  • 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.

1.4 on it is operating, but only under certain circumstances. If the photograph is not blown up, it is impossible to evaluate the degree to which a more narrow aperture affects the clarity of the image. But it's hard to resist the urge to crank it up to 100 percent, check it pixel by pixel, and. After then, you should always use 1.8 or higher. as a result of the sharpness not being quite as good as it once was, the purple haze being more obvious, and so on. Some pros: Superior in clarity to…

The best price for such a product, I will buy more!

I use it on 60D, I really liked the lens. I didn’t dare to buy for a long time, I considered 50mm from sigma 1.4, but I couldn’t find it at all, and even more so normal, I wasn’t very upset, now for sure) wonderful bowl) Do not hesitate to buy, although the prices are already painfully evil ((( Different pros: 1.4, lightweight, focusing faster than 40mm 2.8 stm, faster than sigma 17-50. Cons below: 1.4 working, but too painful for the arts. Chromatic aberration at 1.4 is pretty terrible.

I used it before - 50 1.8, which was my first lens, after the whale one. It didn’t work out right away with 1.8, a terrible cam drive, buzzing heavily when focusing, constantly overshooting AF, and a terrible appearance - a cheap lens! For a long time he was gathering dust with me, tk. I couldn't use it. Another thing is 1.4 - a situation arose when a staff member was 24-105, a portrait lens was a tamron 90 2.8, and something fast was needed. The choice was not great - after reading reviews of…

Pros
  • Appearance, USM drive, bokeh, aperture, price, universal focal length and much, much more)
Cons
  • not yet found

A really necessary purchase, glad I found this product.

Sharpness is better on a slightly closed hole. I heard that the focusing mechanism (retractable trunk) is very fragile, so I immediately bought a lens hood to prevent accidental blows to it. I chose from three copies, two were with front / back focuses. I took the exact one. Happy as an elephant.
