The following opinions have been automatically translated with Microsoft Translator. | Canon EF 28-105mm f/3.5-4.5 USM Pros: Almost ridiculous cost in the second-hand market, optical quality, great focal range on FF, light, solid, AF Cons: Too soft at TA, barrel a bit dancing (but you get used to it) Opinion: Bought used for less than 40 euros turned out to be an amazing target. Not very usable at TA due to its excessive softness, as soon as it is closed by 1 or better still 2 stops it becomes a high-end lens. Excellent sharpness and excellent colour rendering. As other users have pointed out, it gets a little too soft after 75mm, but in the 28-80 focal range on FF it's perfect. It weighs the right amount (not too much, not too little) indicating a remarkable build quality for the price range at which it was proposed. The barrel dances a little, but you get used to it. Quiet and accurate AF motor even when using third-party adapter on the EOS RP. Same optical scheme as the USM II version, if you find the one with the wording "MACRO" instead of the flower symbol you are dealing with a more "valuable" version because, as for the USM II version, it has the diaphragm upgraded to 7 blades instead of 5 and, in contrast to the USM II version (produced almost exclusively in Taiwan) still produced in Japan (better quality control). Magnificent all-rounder and definitely a steal at the price you can find in the second-hand market. On APS-C I wouldn't recommend it for the angles of view returned due to the crop factor and perhaps for reduced resolving power when paired with a high-density MP-dense small format sensor. sent on June 30, 2024 |
 | Canon EF-S 24mm f/2.8 STM Pros: Compactness, sharpness even at TA, AF speed, great value for money Cons: If you like this corner of the field, no one Opinion: Purchased to have an optics considered normal on APS-C. It actually returns a field angle very similar to that of the eye. Excellent sharpness in the center also at TA, useful "macro" function due to the minimum distance of MAF. Great contrast and MAF very fast and quiet also thanks to the STM engine. Despite this, I have decided to get rid of it because, for the use I do, it is neither meat nor fish. Too long for a landscape, too short for portraits and macros. It's suitable for the street, but it's not the kind of photography I do. One last extremely subjective thing is the "evirate" syndrome, such a compact lens is certainly positive if you do street and is paired with equally compact machine bodies. In my case however I can not have a nice grip on my 40D (not really light and compact) precisely because the pancake is very small. For the rest great value for money. sent on April 16, 2020 |
 | Yongnuo EF YN 50mm f/1.8 Pros: Price, wide opening, contrast Cons: Chromatic aberrations, MAF too often inaccurate (perhaps just for my specimen?), TA sharpness, plastic construction Opinion: It was my first lens. Beautiful contrast and opening that allows you to take home the shot even with little light or with old reflexes that can not stand the high iso. Unfortunately I gave it away after 5-6 months because the maf was too often inaccurate (especially back focus), unusable at TA because of its high softness. Generally I closed by a stop (thus reducing the advantage of having a bright optics). Construction too "cheap" (it's okay the price but a minimum of extra attention you could do). Being also too tight on an APS-C I replaced it with the Canon 24 mm f/2.8 STM. A whole other world. Sharpness to TA higher than that of the Yongnuo at f/2.8, very low color aberration, solid construction, but above all surgical MAF. Now I can trust more of the AF than my old 40D. Agree it costs more, but it's worth it. I will replace the "normal" focal with a Helios 44M-5 f/2.0. We'll see if he's better than Yongnuo. sent on October 30, 2019 |
