Canon Ef Canon EF 50mm f 1.8 II Camera Lens
Once upon a time the 50 mm lens was THE standard camera lens and was THE
optical benchmark by which manufacturers were judged and compared.
Although the basic lens focus has now shifted (at least at the low to
mid amateur level) to zooms - you can still benefit from years of
research and development that went into designing the 50 mm lens and
this here lens may be the best lens, dollar for dollar, that you can
ever buy. The question is can you afford not to own this lens?
Years
of development have brought us a lens that has a fast aperture of 1.8 -
far faster than any consumer zoom lens - and that is sharp as a filed
tack. Be forewarned about the sharpness . . . if you are taking
pictures of people, this lens is unyielding in its sharpness and may
well surprise you and your subjects whose every blemish is captured.
The lens has a fabulously shallow depth of field if you want to use the
1.8 aperture to blow out a background. This lens is also ridiculously
inexpensive. It is not USM - so it is a little loud. It does not have a
moving focus scale. For the money though - this is heaven.
