p.1 #1 · ZE50 + Ec-s = happiness?


I need a 50 for the to large gap between the 35L and 85L (after selling my zooms) and rather than dump lots of $ on the Canon 50L I thought I'd get the ZE. After running around manually focusing my 17TS I realize I either need new glasses or a better focusing screen. I can do OK with the 85 in manual so I think I should be OK with the 50. But will the Ec-s bring happiness or will I still need new glasses?

I did consider getting the plastic fantastic and using manual focus as a test but then I'd just throw it away later after getting a better lens.

Thanks, John

Thanks for the reply. I should have mentioned that I shoot a 1Ds2, so the EG-S won't work.

I wouldn't judge your focusing by how well you can manually focus a slow wide lens. That's a difficult task, just take your 35L and manual focus to see if you can do it or not. That will be slightly harder than it would be with a 50mm f/1.4 lens.

the plastic fantastic is a very nice little lens and I think you should get it anyway.
