Pros: TOP brightness, physically and aesthetically very similar to the Canon 85mm f/1.2.

Cons: Spare parts are difficult to find now out of production for a long time ... Slow AF, sharpness not just at the TOP!

Opinion: I own this lens for quite some time. A level "emotional" is really well done. Just a shame that now it is broken and I can not find spare parts. In fact, I recently took the current 50mm f1 / 2 and I am fine I hope to be able to fix it or find another copy for spare parts, by a factor of more sentimental than anything else! In order not to regret the old days anyway ...

Pros: Blurred incredible sharpness [depending on the specimens], gives a unique character to snapshots; advantage of knowing you will get magnificent effects.

Cons: Cost, irriparabilità, manual focus always needs the camera is turned on [but it is a limit due to the release date of the same, and the great mass of the lens to move].

Opinion: The general opinion of this lens is a symbolic phrase: "You either love it or you hate it." RnI proponents of sharpness in every facet odianornChi the look airy and fuzzy uncompromising ama.rnIo him I love him ... it's big heavy , slow, full of optical defects irriparabile ... expensive ... if it breaks .. But I love him! rnOffre unrivaled image quality, a detachment, one blurred, and a passage un'ariosità tonal unici.rnIl only keep it plugged in the camera is an emotion [I use it on 1Ds MKIII] its weight and the fluid ring of maf they discover a whole new world simply by looking through the eyepiece. rnrnMi allow you to enter a review for something more ... more depth that I wrote in my blog [I hope we can] rnhttp :/ / fotocreare.blogspot.it/2014/07/canon-ef-50mm-f10-l-la-regina.htmlrn
