Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM

Review Date: Mar 16, 2011 Recommend? yes | Price paid: Not Indicated | Rating: 9 

 
Pros: f1.8 – sharp f2 – very sharp. Lovable bokeh and nice contrast.
Cons:
Inconsistent focus from f1.4 – 1.8.

I love this lens on my 5D mk1 @f2... it produced a natural color and makes the skin flawless most of the time. Bokeh is good also as well as contrast, don’t forget to buy a hood for this lens for its protection.

I just stayed the aperture to f2 I am very satisfied with it…

Here are some samples.

Pros: Very sharp @f2.8! Superb image stabilizer, nice colors and bokeh and yeah it focus very fast.
Cons:
none

This is my sharpest lens! I’m very satisfied on what I paid for.
It produced very nice colors even wide open.
Focus is fast enough to shoot portraits and small things.
