Ef 50Mm F 1.4 Usm

[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.

[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.

[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!

[0.475 lb] This review is for the EF/EOS to FX adapter. I bought this one because it also lets me use M42 lenses with a very thin additional M42-EF adapter. Interestingly, I'm able to use my SMC Takumar 50mm f/1.4 without any rear element to adapter collision even at infinity focus. My thoughts are that there must be different versions of the Takumar 50mm, because online I had read that it wouldn't allow infinity focus with this adapter. To that, I have two Yashica 50mm DX lenses (1.4 and 1.7) that do not focus to infinity because the rear elements on those lenses extend too far and collide. The build quality of the Lens Turbo seems really good and solid. It fits tightly and doesn't have any give at all on my X-T10. Image quality seems great as well from what I can tell. It's hard to completely compare image quality to a straight-through (no glass) adapter because those are cropping the edges of the frame. My guess is it's probably much less sharp in the corners with any lens than that lens would render on a true full-frame sensor. But the IQ is still really good!

[Canon RF] I bought several 7 Artisan lenses - this fits the Lumix G95 far better than the 50mm F.095 for infinity / distance shooting. It is remarkably good glass, solid build and light weight. It is certainly sharp at slightly before F2 and onward. I have found it to be a very useful bit of Kit. The two photos show full frame and then a crop of the Moon - at F 8 - 10. It also has very good color rendition. At the price point it is an incredible buy.

[43 mm (Front)] I use this on a GH5 and I'm impressed. Sharpness at f.95 looks very good, especially center of frame. I was using the Canon 1.8 STM 50mm with a Viltrox EF-M2 lens adapter, which allowed me to stop down to f1.3, but the image I was getting was fairly soft. Bought this to replace it, albeit a bit wider than the 50mm (1.6x crop w/ Viltrox) but the image looks much sharper. Was also impressed with the build quality. It's a compact lens but it has some weight to it. Feels very sturdy and aperture and focus rings turn smoothly with clickless aperture. All and all, I would definitely recommend for someone that may be a little skeptical because of the price. Oh yeah, the little case it ships in is a nice touch, too.

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

[0.145 lb] Perfect for my EF-M 32mm f/1.4 STM lens.

[Manual Focus] It's even better than the Leica summilux 50mm 1.4! No need to think, just buy it.
