Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM [Archive] - Page 19 - Canon Digital Photography Forums

so then, hows it compare to the 50L?

I actually can't say. I just learned the 50L we have (co-own with my bro) had some focus issues, or so that's what Canon says. I was finding the focus was hit or miss and micro adjusting wasn't helping so we had sent it in. Should be back soon.

If it comes back and performs better than this, then it's a winner by all means. However, I don't find the 1.4 all that sluggish or lesser cool to use though.

The only clear win the 50L has is the bokeh quality. Much more smooth.

I can see myself using this lens leisurely.

Some from the park today. Flat lighting and I didn't have my flash handy, but I am so pleased with this lens. I thought I'd get rid of it once my 85/1.2 arrived but at the moment, it looks more likely that I'll keep the 50/1.4.

My first contribution to this thread.

Got this lens a couple months ago, haven't used it much though. Forced myself out with just the 20D + 50mm a couple days ago, and came across this:

This is great, and a perfect subject as an image you can build a story around, for those of you who every did that excercise in school.

Thanks... I wish I had done this kind of stuff in school, or at least when I was a bit younger. I didn't start really shooting seriously until I was 36, basically about 2+ years ago. I don't see things the way my younger friends do, but I'm working on it.

My shooting style right now is more mechanical/procedural than creative. All the technical stuff makes perfect sense to me... got a ways to catch up on composition and creativity though.

EXIF:
1) f/2 1/250 ISO 200
2) f/2.8 1/100 ISO 200
3) f/2.8 1/80 ISO 200

Was with Av -- I had planned on doing it all manual, as I really need the practice with manual, but it started to rain, so I wanted to get in a few good shots :)

My lens came yesterday. First impressions, beautiful piece of glass. Shooting at f/1.4 seemed soft but can and will give some cool dreamy effects to photos. f/2 was noticeably sharper than any f stop on the 18-55 IS. I don't think my kit lens is ever going to go back on...

Thanks :)

Suggest you get as many shots as possible before he gets mobile... getting focus is next to impossible after that ;)

that's when I use the excuse of needing to upgrade to a 1d series for it's faster focusing. ha ha

Congratulations. You now have 4 very fine portrait lenses, and a great new walkaround lens for your 40D.

Curious - are you left-eye dominant or are you moving toward the Joe McNally grip (facilitated better by adding a battery grip to your 40D)?

All taken with the Rebel XT

Definitely still love this lens, after all this time. Its beatup, the AF doesn't work anymore and I can't stop it down (a year ago I had pulled off the mount and tore out the contacts by mistake). It can still create magic albeit at a limited capacity.

there are a few other current or former owners roaming around this site that i know of ;)

I've owned this lens for years, but I had no idea this lens could produce such nice bokeh (it used to produce such unpleasant bokeh). Or maybe it's because I'm now using this on a FF body (5D Classic).

I'm not a Hindu god expert, but the elephant is the god Ganesha, the Lord of Beginnings and Obstacles. I'm guessing the woman is the goddess Parvati, who is said to be Ganesha's mother.
