The following opinions have been automatically translated with Google Translate.
Pros:Cost, compactness, f1.8 aperture, tropicalization, construction solidity, color rendering, soft bokeh, low weight.
Cons:At the moment nothing.
Opinion:Classic kit lens, but... with a final surprise. It may seem like the typical lens that they put in the kit to make you take some photos with the camera as soon as you leave the store, a lens to change as soon as you make some money after the purchase of the camera... But no! This is a really surprising lens if you like the focal length, a lens that you will not easily give up wondering how you can have such a lens in your hands at such a competitive price. Solid, generous aperture at 1.8, vignettes very little, sharp from edge to edge, from f8 onwards it becomes a blade but even before it behaves very well, faithful colors, soft and progressive blur, tropicalized, responsive. I use it in combination with the S5 and as an autofocus it is highly performing, a perfect match. Great for portraits, still life, urban views, street, close up. It will become your companion for targeted and selected photographic outings avoiding carrying around a plethora of lenses to change. There is no entry level 50ino from other brands that can compete with this. We are on a quality/price ratio that is to the advantage of the user. Highly recommended.
Cons:At the moment I haven't found any, maybe it could have had a higher resistance to flare but for the price you can't ask for more
Opinion:I reiterate what I have already written. I come from a Canon 50mm f1.8 mounted on a d5 mk2. and I was in trouble in particular for the rather approximate focus given the pairing. now with the S5 mk1 and the Pana 50mm they are on another planet. It is recommended, moreover if like me you can find it used at a great price on this site.
Cons:The tactile sensation reminiscent of a toy Despite being sharp and with pleasant colors, it lacks character / personality. Returns somewhat anonymous photos. For what it costs you can't expect more.
Opinion:After reading Lucabn's review I am convinced that his specimen may be defective. This fifty is loved for many reasons. Small, light, sharp, contrasted and fairly fast in afs. On the SL2S it performs very well. Of course the feeling of absolute plastic is not exciting but it must be said that it is solid and well done. The only real "flaw", in my opinion, is the lack of personality and character of the files it produces. For $350 you can't ask for more! Paid $350 on Adorama. Image quality superior to many more famous and much more expensive lenses. Advised.
Pros:Tropicalization, absence of focus breathing, homogeneous rendering on the frame, soft bokeh
Cons:I had a copy that had several optical problems, replaced under warranty with a perfect copy.
Opinion:Update: I had the lens checked by a technician and it was replaced under warranty because it had a problem (an internal element chipped in the edge, factory defect). The new model is excellent and I do not find any problem of blue chromatic aberrations or poor sharpness. If you happen to have a lens in your hands that does not convince you, maybe have it checked. I leave a summary, from the first opinion, of the optical problems I found with the unit 'defective: - Problem of poor sharpness even if closed at f4 - The lens suffers from extreme blue chromatic aberrations on the point of focus, magenta behind and green in front... It is impossible to fix the image without losing important color information. - AF motor that sometimes freezes
Opinion:Tropicalized, sharp and with great bokeh, sublime construction .. what else do I have to add?! It is worth much more than its price. I would say a must for L mount. No cheap fifty of other brands offers this performance, really an excellent optics and not the usual fifty that .. just shoot. We are talking about an optics with excellent performance and great build quality considering that it is tropicalized and returns pleasure to the touch. Really pleasant to use and impeccable yield at a more than honest price
