Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM

I recently discovered how bad the Chromatic Abberation on this thing is in back-lit situations. Safe to say, it is going in the bin and the 50L is on the way. Sadly, I have to unsubscribe to this thread, now.

Later!

I really like the cool tones in these pics . What PP did you use if you don't mind sharing. Thanks.

Thanks!

I just messed around a bit in LR with split tones/color temp/saturation.. took me a bit to get this desired look. Just basically a lot of playing around with levels until I got the look I wanted.

Hii ladies and gents, my name is Ray!
Been hanging around here on POTN for couple of weeks. Never used DSLR before. Yesterday i got my first DSLR.. 5D mark 2 and as my first lens a 50mm 1.4
This is my first post, here is my contribution a self portrait and I GOT A LOT TO LEARN!!!

Awesome first camera and lens you got. Have fun and welcome to the forum! It's addictive and the more you read the more you spend, that's a law...lol.

I've used the 1.8 and I now own the 50mm 1.2L. I got it for a HUGE discount that I could not refuse, knowing that I'd probably be able to sell it and the profit would pay for the 50mm 1.4.

Now in my area I've found a 1.4 that I can buy tonight for $350. How much of a difference will I notice from the 1.2L to the 1.4 do you think? I'm sure the 1.4 is way better than the 1.8. I almost just don't even like to carry the 1.2 around because it's so valuable and heavy and it only gets you that one extra stop.

Thanks for any input any of you have.

Edit: Now I see there is a thread about this going on in the next forum step up from this one. No need to reply to my question here but if you do I'll read it.

If you got it for a huge deal, why not just hang onto it for a while and use it? It is definitely NOT going to depreciate in value and you will always be able to find good deals on the 1.4.

natural light, wide open.
