Canon 50Mm 1.4 Ef Lens

[FUJIFILM X] I bought this lens with some experience using manual lenses before. Once mounted on my EOS M3, the lens feels solid and focusing was not a problem using the integrated magnifier and peaking focus option. The use of Canon EVF-DC1 viewfinder is also strong recommended. Lens focus ring is a little tought and it has a long travel from minimum distance to infinity, but enough to focus with precision. With that on mind, I purchased this lens only for adult portraits and pics of static objects. It's not suitable to shoot children or action photography. Prior to this lens, I had been using a Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM with EOS EF to EF-M adapter. The 50mm 1.4 was fine an easy to use but its image quality is average to my taste, specially with apertures below 2.8. This rokinon shines in IQ from f2. Sharpening and contrast are aceptable at wider apertures, and always better than the Canon and with smoother bokeh. Vignetting is also visible, but nothing to worry about it. Overall, is an excellent performing lens and optically superior to use than the Canon standard lens.

[3.6 x 3 x 1.4"] Great addition to the Canon 50mm EF little lens.

[Silver / Blue] Of the available options for 50mm 1.4 on an EF mount, this is by far the best value. This lens is razor sharp in the middle even when wide open and the color reproduction and contrast are more than acceptable. The ZERO distortion is one the biggest surprises to me. The build quality is solid and it has a generous rubber gasket for weather sealing too. Focusing is fast and accurate right out of the box. The only draw back is that this lens is the heaviest of all 50mm 1.4 options. But honestly, it's worth the extra arm muscle. This is neck and neck with the Sigma art version, but I would give this the advantage because you don't have to fix any distortion in post processing. And both the Sigma and this Tokina blow away the decades old Canon 50mm 1.4. I am very happy with this choice and have no regrets.

[46 mm] I bought this lens cap for the Zeiss EF 50mm f/1.4 and it works perfectly! Not too tight or too loose. Highly recommend over the bad Zeiss lens caps!

[Silver / Blue] It is probably the sharpest EF mount AF lens in the market along with Sigma 50/1.4 art lens, much better than the Canon EF 50mm lenses. The bokeh is great. At 950g it is really heavy for a 50mm/1.4 lens. When adapted to Fuji GFX body this lens can cover the 4433 image circle perfectly and the image quality is excellent even in the corner!

[Aluminum] I lost the lens cap to my Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM Lens and needed a new one so purchased this replacement cap. It fits perfectly!

[4 x 4 x 3.25"] Fits the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM Lens perfect! (great lens, by the way)

[0.145 lb] As EF-M lens hoods go, this hood for the classy, new  EF-M 32mm f/1.4 STM is large- almost as long as the lens barrel. It can be reverse mounted for transit, but must be removed to dismount the lens. It has a spring activated latch, first Ive seen on a Canon hood. Rotate to mount, then a satisfying click of the latch says youre done. This classy hood for the classy lens sells for a very classy price- but very well made, as youd expect from Canon.

[Empty] This is my favorite 50mm lens so far. The Canon 50mm f/1.4 is beautiful, but I chose this lens to try out using T stops. I use this lens for close-up portraiture and for video all the time, and am looking forward to getting the Rokinon Cine lens series soon.

[0.39 lb] I have only taken this out once but the results so far have been beautiful. In context, I've owned the Canon 85mm 1.2 and the Canon 85mm 1.4 back in my dslr days and the Sigma DG DN 85mm 1.4 lens most recently. I shoot a lot of on location portraits and found the 85mm to be too tight on many of the locations I shoot. With that, I reluctantly traded in the Sigma on the Sony 50mm 1.2 lens. I didn't have the funds to keep both. (The Sigma is an amazing lens btw). After shooting the Sony 50mm (another great lens) I found I really missed the compression of the 85mm focal length when I did have the room, so I started looking around for a sleeper and I found it! Im still recovering from the price tag of the Sony 50mm so I was looking for something cheaper than the Sigma to have on hand for those occasions I wanted an 85mm. This Tokina fits the bill perfectly. It is a simple, no bells and whistles piece of glass that takes images comparable to any of the best lenses Ive used. The difference between 1.8 and 1.4 is negligible at best and this is built like a tank with its metal construction. I got it on sale for $399 and is a steal at this price. After shooting this I couldn't justify spending the money on the Sigma again which was one of my all time favorites. It is a very basic lens but the images are awesome even when shot wide open at 1.8.
