Amazing lens for the price
Posted .I can't say enough good things about this lens. The price is fairly inexpensive for the quality of the image you receive. The bokeh is amazing. I'm sure there are better portrait lenses on the market for Canon, but you can't beat the quality you get from this lens for a mere +/- $400. The large aperture creates an extremely shallow depth of field and allows for easy handheld night shots. My only complaint with this lens would be the focus itself. With the aperture wide open it can be very difficult to get the focus exactly where you want it.

Must have 50mm prime lens
||Posted .I upgraded from the Canon 50mm 1.8 to the 50mm 1.4 in this purchase based on the improved build quality and reputation of the f1.4 lens. While the 'thrifty fifty' f1.8 is a great lens and hard to beat the f1.4 lens is a step up. Hard to describe but the subtle differences in glass, construction of the body and overall build quality but it is an exceptional lens and worth the upgrade. I ordered the lens online and had it delivered to the store... it arrived a day earlier than projected! The Best Buy staff was great and I'm totally pleased with the transaction.

Versatile Lightweight Bokeh
Posted .This lens is a great investment, especially for beginners. I began my journey with photography using a Canon T3i and the kit lens that came with it. I wasn't satisfied with the low light capabilities of both the lens and the camera itself. With this lens you can stop down to 1.4 which is more than enough for most situations and perfect for portraiture. This is the first full frame lens I've purchased - and love it! *******************************Crop Users***************************** For full frame cameras you will get the field of view as specified, however for a crop sensor camera like the Canon Rebel T3i, the view would be similar to the view of an 85mm on a full frame body (1.7x the focal length). Just something to keep in mind when purchasing this lens - for all the beginners out there. If you want the same field of view on a crop sensor look for a wider lens like a 30mm (30 * 1.7 ≈ 50). Another lens I'd recommend for crop sensor cameras is the Sigma Art 18-35mm f 1.8 lens, which is absolutely phenomenal. ************************************************************************ Anyways, this lens practically lives on my 5D Mark IV and is absolutely versatile for portraits,street photography, architecture, and event photography. I have noticed some chromatic aberration in some backlit scenarios, but overall the sharpness and quality is great! For video, the AF is a bit noisy and gets picked up with the built in microphone, so if you are purchasing this lens for video, just keep this in mind and invest in sound recording equipment (off camera). PROS Build is a little bit of plastic and metal which helps it stay lightweight. Great Focal Length for various categories of photography Great for Low Light! (It's a fast lens - duh!) Bokeh is nice! CONS Photography: Occasional Chromatic Aberration in Backlit Scenarios Videography: AF Motors are a bit noisy

One of My Favorite Canon Lenses
||Posted .Every now and then I bring out all of the Canon lenses and just randomly shoot a bunch of shots with each of them and then review the pictures without ever touching them up. This happens to be one of my favorite lenses and I know this because I always have so many more pictures with this lens than a couple of the others I just had to have, which I also like too. I have to say, there is only one Canon lens I probably didn't need and it is the Fisheye lens. Cool lens but I still have two-three pretty expensive lenses on my wish list I would rather have than that Fisheye one.

Great lens, a bit soft when shooting wide open.
||Posted .This is my second copy and it is a bit better than my first one when it comes to sharpness when shooting wide open. Color saturation is great, built quality is also really good. My fist copy lasted around five years using it 4 times a week and about 500 shots every time as it’s my go to lens when shooting street runners.

Q: QuestionI noticed that this lens does not say Image Stabilization. Do you need a tri-pod to use this lens in, let's say, a low lit area where people are moving?
Asked by Lahu838.
- A:Answer The lens does well in low light if you use a flash. But if you don’t, you’ll have two options: use a low ISO and deal with slightly out of focus images, or jack up the ISO and deal with graininess. Using a tripod is a good option but that means slower shutter speeds which may not be good if you have a lot of moving people or objects (Unless you’re going for that ).
