Pros: Very high sharpness, brightness, excellent blurry
Cons: Autofocus with Canon SLR, weight, lack of tropicalization
Opinion: I write this review after a few years of use on Canon Eos 7D. I confirm the exceptional sharpness, already at f/1.8 - f/2.0, which allows it to be used in low light conditions or for night scenes. I tried to make prints even 60x40, and those made with this lens are among those with more detail, among the various that I printed, even with Canon L series lenses. I found myself very well both for starry skies, but also to photograph the fireflies, where the wide opening was fundamental to highlight the light trails well. It's true, it has a poor focal range, if you think of it as a standard lens. In my case, however, for a 360-degree use (natural landscapes, nocturnal, portraits) I rarely missed those 15 mm of travel on the canvas side, obviously without thinking of using it for narrow portraits. Weight is important, but you get used to it and it doesn't upset the balance of the paired with the camera. The biggest flaw, on Canon SLR, is the autofocus, decidedly slower than the lenses of the parent company, and sometimes inaccurate. Using the USB Dock improves things a bit, but it doesn't eliminate the root of the problem. Consider taking some replicas of the shots you care about most, refocusing. The problem is that the inaccuracy is not easily categorized, even if it presents itself more with high-contrast scenes. I repeat, my ratings are on Canon 7D, I do not know if on the most recent APS-C SLR is different. Now I switched to Eos R5 (mirrorless), I tried to mount it, and what can I say. From this point of view the lens has been reborn. Higher autofocus speed (always less than Canon lenses), but above all surgical precision. It could be a great investment if ever a mirroless Canon APS-C came out in the future, where such a lens would truly be spectacular, if the autofocus were like that of the R5. There are not many such strategic lenses in terms of brightness and focal range at the moment. In summary, having to replace it with a fullframe lens moves me a sense of strong nostalgia, sum up. I believe that this is enough as a final assessment. |
