Canon Ef 50Mm F 1.4 Usm 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.

[Empty] A perfect fit for my new Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM Lens!

[0.3 lb] I'm using this with a Canon 7D and 50 mm 1.4 USM lens. First I have a 58-52 step down ring to attach the Nikon ES-1 to the 50 mm lens and then I'm using a Fotodiox 14 mm extension tube between the lens and the 7D. The film is only slightly cropped but the pictures are focused right on the grain and look great!

[Bayonet] This lens hood is a perfect fit for my Canon EF 70-300 IS USM Lens. I usually buy only Canon accessories but thought I'd try the Vello this time, and I couldn't be more pleased. The fit is snug so there's no wobble or looseness, and the finish is flawless. I definitely recommend this hood and I'll certainly try other Vello products in the future. Then only downside to my purchase is the S L O W order processing and delivery that is characteristic of B&H Photo :(

[Aluminum] I had absolutely no issues when using this with my Canon EF 16-35mm f/4L IS USM Lens, including the lack of vignetting, which was suggested to be a problem given the wide field of view with these shorter lenses.

[Zoom Gear] The lens has been bought to use with Canon EOS 40d.My choice was between: - Canon EF-S 17-55 f/2.8 IS USM - Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM - Canon EF 24-70 f/2.8L USMI choose Canon EF 24-70 f/2.8L USM, mostly because this lens has the best picture for me.If I am a reporter, I would choose EF 24-105 f/4L for the wider focus range and IS.If my god is sharpness and I really have a need of a wider angle everyday, I would take EF-S 17-55 f/2.8 (but no L construction and no possibility to use on the full frame), BTW many people stating that this is the best everyday choice for Canons with APS-C size image sensors, I see deep reasons for these statements.These too lenses are really nice and additionally both have IS, but the picture you receive from them is not so artistic comparing to EF 24-70 f/2.8L, this made my choice.Canon EF 24-70 f/2.8L USM strong sides: - nice picture; - high sharpness; - universal zoom range, including range for portraits; - really fast focus; - strong L construction; - the lens hood sold with this lens (it's huge, but really works, it's one of the best).Weaknesses: - no IS (if it matters for you in this focus range); - big and heavy.--....The lens is perfect, has no back or front focus and works with my Canon EOS 40d flawless.

[1/2" Bayonet] I was waiting for Canon Extender EF 2X III for a long while. I am very happy with it to extend the zoom to 400 mm on my Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS III USM lens which is the best lens I have. Lately I have been photographing Hawks, Hummingbirds and etc and find this Canon Extender EF 2X III gives me the ability to photograph at 400mm without purchasing another Canon lenses. With this Extender EF 2X III, the maximum aperture is smaller by 2 stops (f/5.6 for my lens). With Canon EOS 5D Mark III body, Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS III USM Lens and Canon Extender EF 2X III, it weights about 6.4 pounds which is a little heavy but manageable. Overall, I am glad I purchased this 2X Extender.

[Full-Frame] Although I have not used this particular lens at length yet, it compliments my Canon EF 400 f2.8 IS USM II very nicely. Weight difference is significant between the two allowing hand held shots to be easily captured.

[Bayonet] Bought this for my EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM Lens. I believe Canon should include the hood with the lens, but that's just my opinion.
