p.1 #2 · ZE50 + Ec-s = happiness? | |
I use a ZE 50 on 5D MkII, and switching from the standard focusing screen to the MF one (EG-S) helped a lot. My keeper rate went up substantially. Frankly, ZE 50 is not particuarly difficult to focus manually. It is a very fast lens, so it is very "clear" through the viewfinder, and its focusing ring is just so well suited to MF. It is much easier to focus than the ZE 85 which I also use.
And, as far as I am concerned, it offers tremendous IQ for moderate cost, as long as you don't buy it for portrait wide open at close range.
Just one shot with 50ZE on 5D MkII.
