Close But Not That Close.

 

Perhaps it should be of note that I have purchased everything that I review. Therefore, if virtually all my reviews are positive, it is because I have always tried to buy things that I believe will serve me well. I use a Canon 5D MKII. All my ...

A good all-around 50mm prime lens with macro-focusing capability

Focusing is a bit on the noisy side. Focusing racks the lens in and out

Canon 50mm Macro: It's worth owning, but could be better.

 

50mm is a popular focal length for photographers because it closely matches what our eyes perceive. Prior to picking up this lens, I had the Canon 50mm f1.8. For the price I paid, it was great, but it did lack in a few areas.

Color Contrast, Sharpness, Macro

Focus Ring, Special adapter required for true macro work

Excellent macro and general purpose lens

 

Shooting wide open (2.5) there may be a little blur around the edges. One stop or more down (3.2+) the lens is great. It's amazing how sharp this lens can get for under $400.00. With 6MP you can get down the individual pixel.

Excellent at serving its intended purpose and can also serve as a standard 50mm

Slower than normal focus, poor in low-light

Very sharp lens for not much money

 

I purchased this lens after reading rave reviews from users at another site. Unfortunately I can't seem to find it again or I'd put the link here. Suffice to say that it hasn't disappointed me. Put this lens on a tripod, stop it down some and it is...

Incredibly sharp low price light weight
