Pros: weight, size, sharpness, build quality.

Cons: noisy autofocus, macro ratio is not 1:1

Opinion: good optics considering the price, even if you have to be pretty much stuck to the subject to get something good .... good sharpness ... away from high-end macro but interessante.rnconsigliato to those who approach for the first time in this stile.rnmai used on full frame so I have no idea how to behave ...

Pros: Exaggerated sharpness, manegevole, weight

Cons: MF slow and cumbersome, as well as noisy

Opinion: I bought this light just to have a 50 to use when I needed it, for many years had been set aside in the closet believing perspective from mediocre performance, given the price and quality of construction, then one day I mounted in front of my Mark 2, just for fun, it has since become my favorite optics, I am very enthusiastic, exceptional contrast and sharpness, I think it's a monster of optical quality, I know that even the canon expect such a result, otherwise the price would undoubtedly have been higher, what to say ... I'm not too happy, the only regret is that I kept abandoned too many years ... poor thing

Pros: Price, micro-great, low weight, no distortion, a few aberrations, blurred good wide open

Cons: Autofocus noisy, difficulty focusing in low light and high contrast, lack of full time manual focus, lack of focus limiter, quite visible vignetting on full frame

Opinion: Although the long list of counter viewpoint may seem flawed is my favorite lens, I keep it installed by default on 5D2. Compared to the 100 Macro optical quality and autofocus are slightly lower, but compared to other economic house 50 Canon (50 1.8 and 50 1.4) looks good at all, and I find the quality of blurred wide open better. The real benefit of this perspective is the ability to get close to the very subject, with the other 50 I find it really annoying the "block" to 45 centimeters, I find it limiting the possibility of framing. I hope the Canon update this model (the project in 1987), he did a USM version with the same optical quality would purchase the doubt.

Pros: Optics compact price, the presence of the ring series to use MT-24EX, sharpness

Cons: I do not get to 1:1, slow AF (however, the autofocus on a macro lens is useless) and noisy

Opinion: It 'a great lens, very sharp and allows you to create close up of subjects' relatively' large (eg. Grasshoppers, mantids ...) while maintaining high image clarity and a background sfocato.rnPossiedo always this perspective (I am so pleased to have bought another one) and I can not find faults: in fact, the AF I find it completely useless in macro photography, in addition, you can solve the problem of non-achievement of the RR 1:1 's purchase of any extension tube (I have the Canon, but the Chinese are also fine 10 €). RNE 'also excellent optics for medical photography, especially if combined with the MT-24EX flash, which fits it perfectly to without the need for any ring road (remember that the flash will fit without rings 50 2.5, 100 2.8 IS and 65 non-MPE). rnInfine, is extremely solid perspective (the only flaw is the AF ring, a little 'plasticky) and I have never had any problems, despite being used daily and has suffered countless beatings or has tripped several timesunder the pioggia.rnrnQuindi, I absolutely recommend this respect, it offers a truly excellent quality with a very low price: it requires a bit 'of experience to be exploited better in some situations, but I'm really very soddisfatto.rnrnVoto: 9! rnNon 10, because of slow so perfect there are very few :).

Pros: Sophisticated optical design, high quality performance and constant at all distances - low price

Cons: construction is not up to the quality optics - AF quick and quite noisy - fuzzy structured

Opinion: And 'perhaps the lens with the best optical quality for the money. I would have no hesitation in preferring the 50/1.8 in all areas of employment, provided that the 50/1, 8 begins to have a decent yield precisely f: 2.8, while the small macro already at full aperture provides a performance benchmark, not only the center but also in the peripheral field of view. Simply absent light falloff at the edges and especially distortion. The focus is very structured, so it has a very pleasant bokeh, mercy diaphragm hex that does not allow much in this issue, which is not unique to the design of a macro lens. The excellent resolving power and micro-skills you keep this up to f: 8 then sloping down to smaller apertures; singular behavior for a macro "pure" but all in all better for normal perspective of general use. Best price for Canon at home, along with the 17-40/4 L.

Pros: Optical light affordable and efficient. f not lightning.

Cons: Performs at a 1:1 ratio but stops at 0.5. To arrive at a 1:1 ratio needs a special converter but it costs almost as much as the optics.

Opinion: I've had this lens for a long time that I used mainly as "normal". At short distances is very sharp as indeed its definition is, even at medium distances and infinity sharpness and engraving remain tangible. It has aberrazionui color and distortion is virtually absent. While the focus is extended considerably without causing imbalances being very light optics. If you do not need a larger opening can be a good substitute as optical "normal" On occasions I regret having given it away, I think it's a perspective underestimated.
