Opinion:I bought this used 'thirty-year-old' for 70 euros as new. I'm a Nikon man and I started using Canon because my friends were talking about it. Starting a new kit I did not want to exaggerate immediately and I bought the 24 EF S and this 50. Mounted on the EOS 1 mark2 I started taking pictures of my son with burst shutter. The focus is not lightning....... here you can feel the 30 years of age. Sometimes some shots come out of focus. But the object is worth its money and churns out excellent results between f4 and f11 with excellent sharpness and a very particular blurred and very different from the nikon parity that I own. The behavior is however in full line with this type of objectives. I would like to share a reflection with you: I thought a lot about whether to buy this or the new 50 STM and then after various thoughts I opted for this, believe me not to save 30 euros ....... But because I wanted to savor again those objects of the past that maybe were not super performing but were qualitatively excellent. I tried again that feeling of when the kit was made by the 28, the 50 and the 135 remember you remember???? So if you want to go back give yourself this 50 a few pennies if you find it and you will return children or young people ............ Speaks one class 1973. Happy 50 to all
Pros:Ghera for focus, distance scale, sharpness, small size
Cons:Noisy autofocus, nervous blurry
Opinion:Very simple lens, with distance scale, focus ghera and front lens that does not rotate. Up to f/4 has a fairly pronounced vignette and poor sharpness at the corners, but does not present significant chromatic aberrations. The focus is thanks to an AFD engine that, although it makes it faster than the Mark II to hook (it is comparable to the micro-Usm of the f/1.4), emits a deadly sound. Another defect can be found in the diaphragm, which has only 5 slats that make the blurry nervous. As various objectives of the past it has different characteristics between one specimen and another, and if you are lucky you find something really good. I found a specimen with excellent clarity and micro-contrast, with which remarkable results are already achieved at full opening, while I have tried others that have turned out to be good but not at the same level. Ps. One thing to check is that it doesn't suffer from front/back focus
Opinion:Metal attack, distance scale and less plastic of its successors. Optical pattern unchanged from plastic fantastic (50mm 1.8 mkii). Bought years ago at 80 euros. It's my only 50mm, focal that I use occasionally. The detachment of the floors is and is pleasant but the sharpness at 1.8 is not the best, close to 2.8 and will be a nice companion of adventures and will give you satisfaction. You will learn to shoot with a fixed optics. Possibility of good portraits for the figure to which you find it bought it as well. As long as you can find... Extremely noisy and slow Autofocus (it's still a 31-year-old lens). But you pass it on.
Opinion:Bought used to ny, the clerk suggested this version and as far as I read was a correct suggestion. I bought it and gave it a second so I liked it. Usable with little light, it manages to give back a pleasant blur even if sometimes it "betrays". People, animals, plants emerge naturally from the background. My favorite.

Pros:Optical output without infamy and without praise
Cons:all
Opinion:First series of Canon lenses for autofocus on analog Eos absolutely disappointing from the constructive point of view. Best certainly the Minolta.Ricordo that just took it back after a few days. Accustomed to the objectives for contax / zeiss I was literally shocked by the material with which it was built. It looked like it was not even plastic, but even pressed cardboard. Assembly with scary games. I had the impression of using a toy lens.
