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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

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

I purchased this lens (EF 50mm f/1.4 USM) for 10 at the beginning of 2022. Now it costs 35k and this is already too high a price - now I would not take it for that kind of money. In my case, I came to replace the analogue from Sigma, which I used for less than a week, which had a strong back focus. As a result, I took the option from Canon + UV filter, it turned out 10-11 There is a fairly good lens on the crop, the equivalent of 80 mm on the FF. Later he left the crop in favor of the FF - Canon EOS 6D and then he revealed himself - amazing colors and sharpness, better bokeh, blur. Attached photos taken with this lens on FF - Canon EOS 6D.

Pros
  • + Focusing speed thanks to USM + Reliable assembly, body (compared to version 1.8, where the lens block falls out from strong shaking, there was a case) + metal mount + sharp since 1.4 + Lightweight
Cons
  • - After many years of operation, it began to emit a little more noise during autofocus - The focus ring has become tighter, even at MF

much better than 1.8, but due to fragility it will have to be changed.

Got pros: Aperture, beautiful bokeh, compactness, weight (which is important for many). With its cons. Sometimes it blurs the focus. More cons have not been identified so far.

Must-have - the best lens for the money Requires a hood No USM in the usual sense Very sharp Lightweight, cheap lens

Some pros: Aperture, beautiful bokeh Has some cons Is that the trunk, but optics in general requires careful handling.

Some pros: Everything is clear, excellent portraiture Has some cons For some reason, it doesn’t always focus accurately for me, but perhaps the problem is not in the lens
