The following opinions have been automatically translated with Microsoft Translator. | Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM Pros: Razor-sharp, priced, robust, autofocus Cons: It doesn't have the particularly nice colors and three-dimensionality of higher-end lenses Opinion: I used it on Canon 550D, 1D mark IV and R6. My sample is very sharp already from F1.8, in some light conditions it has chromatic aberrations at full aperture that are resolved by closing the aperture by a couple of stops. I found the focus quite fast like all Stm lenses (slower than usm), it is great for portraits in motion or for fairly fast sports such as basketball. The accuracy of the AF depends a lot on the camera, but even on the 550D on the central point it was very precise. I find the colors similar to those of the 18-55 Stm, the greens are very saturated and there are fewer shades of colors than the higher-end lenses. F1.8 allows you to have a lot of blur and it is a beautiful blur as you can also see on the portraits that are here on Juza. After this lens I switched to the Leica Summicron R 50mm which costs much more and I found a sharp lens the same but with more beautiful colors, more three-dimensional and with an even more beautiful blur. For 100€ among the autofocus lenses I think that the Canon 50mm 1.8 stm is the best choice to have a very sharp lens that can be used in low light and that has a very good blur. sent on May 05, 2025 |
 | Leica Summicron-R 50mm f/2 Pros: Photo rendering, build quality and materials, price Cons: Not easy to use against the light due to outdated anti-glare coatings Opinion: I have the first Wetzlar version and it's my favorite lens among those I have (I prefer it to the Canon 70-200 f2.8L and 50mm 1.8 STM) because the rendering of the photo is unique. I use it on Canon R6 via K&F Concept adapter. The colors are simply beautiful and without casts. At F2 the shadows are more "open", less dark than the other lenses. The blur is beautiful, more bubble-like than the creamy Canon L and gives the photo a three-dimensional rendering. At F2 there is vignetting but it is nice, closing the aperture disappears. In in-focus areas, sharpness is perfect, and the transition between in-focus and out-of-focus areas is smooth. In some backlit angles the contrast drops a lot, but after a little experience you can get excellent results. On the other hand, in backlighting at F2 in the morning or at sunset you can create very beautiful effects such as a rainbow arc or the circular reflection of the lenses with a cross inside. I recommend this lens to those who want to upgrade from the modern 50mm f1.8 as I did and also to those who already own a professional 50mm but want to try to have photos with a different rendering. sent on May 20, 2024 |
 | Canon EOS R6 Pros: Value for money, sensor, focus, speed, video, stabilizer, rechargeable with powerbank, light files Cons: Robustness not at the level of higher-end cameras, electronic shutter Opinion: I have owned the R6 for almost a year and have used it for sports, events and travel. It replaced the 1D mark IV. The body has good ergonomics, I feel good with the grip (I have medium-sized hands), the three dials are great. I would have distanced the Info key more from the zoom and Q keys because sometimes they get confused. The feeling of robustness is good, similar to the 6D, not to the levels of the 1D. In practice the camera is quite robust, it holds up very well to rain, sand but not mud (at the Monza Rally mud got into the buttons and I had to send it to the camera service, the 1D IV instead had no problems). I am very satisfied with the performance at high iso, in an indoor modeling competition I always shot at ISO 8000 and 10000, there is a slight grain that is corrected in post production while maintaining the details. The dynamic range is excellent, the colors are very good from the start, especially the reds. I confirm the presence of moiré when photographing dense textures. When I use non-stabilized lenses, you can feel the IBIS and it has always worked well for me. The viewfinder works well, it has no lag but I would have liked a higher resolution for when I use focus peaking. Focus tracking for people and cars doesn't miss a beat, for smaller and unpredictable subjects such as radio-controlled model cars instead I struggle to use the MAF auto, using the 70-200 f2.8 non-IS. I don't recommend the electronic shutter on the R6 for action photography, there's always rolling shutter. I use the shutter mode with an electronic curtain and a mechanical one always except when I use very bright lenses and very fast shutter speeds (1/4000), in that case I have to use the totally mechanical shutter otherwise the upper part of the photo is darker. The speed of this machine is excellent, it never has delays in either turning on or using it. In conclusion I am very satisfied with this camera, I have listed several things that can be improved but they are compromises for the low price. Update: even in very high humidity conditions the camera works well, the only problem is that the glass of the viewfinder fogs up inside and to continue photographing you have to use the rear screen. The fogging goes away without leaving streaks by putting the camera in a dry environment. sent on April 19, 2024 |
