Canon EF 50mm f/1.2L USM

Curious. How much CA should I expect with this lens wide open in bright light. Seems I was getting a good bit yesterday. Some may have been due, in part, to missing focus the first time out with this lens. (?)

Awesome shots Matt! What body was used on the first image? If I have to take a guess, its a cropper. Am i right?

Thanks, nope, both were with the 5DmkII....

Here is something a bit different from the 50L, the Avignon bridge

Wow, love that, what a beautiful scene. Great one! 50L CAN do landscapes

hey Julian,

for your "action" kid shots, what focus settings do you use?

single point? servo or not? if single point, do you use the outer points?
auto selection? (because i noticed not all the shots are centered, so i assume you use the outer points)

to keep on topic:

Mike,

The portrait oriented shots I use off-centered af point and ai servo, moving the point as needed to line up with the face.

The landscape oriented shots posted above I shot with ai servo and center point. Then I cropped for composition.

thanks Julian! hope to master this lens (along with it's quirks)

Yea... this lens certainly has its quirks.

I might break down and buy the 5d3. Still trying to hold out to see what becomes of the 1dx.

I like the lens on my 5dc. I just don't like the autofocus.

Today...
