Fast lens, full of character
Created: 09/07/10
I use this lens for shooting video on my Canon T2i and I love it, first for its speed. f 1.4 means you can shoot in almost any lighting conditions, particularly combined with the T2i's ISO 6400 setting. I also love this lens's focal blur characteristics at larger aperture settings. Completely unlike anything I've seen before. Beautiful contrast and a great MTF curve, too.
The trade-off when using such old, uncoated glass is that the internal reflections can be really shocking. For my kind of shooting I don't mind them, but I can see that being a sticking point for some buyers. It's possible the newer E series 50/1.4 does a better job in this department.
All in all a great lens--I use it just as much or more than the AF kit zoom that came with my Canon.

Awesome 50mm 1.4

Build quality is excellent! The lens looks brand new, outstanding condition. Used it immediately and love it. Looks great on my T2i. I ordered it on a Sunday and it was on my kitchen table Wednesday. The price was excellent when compared to a Canon 50mm 1.4 at nearly $400.

An excellent fast lens for taking pictures of slow! For portrait photography with a beautiful bokeh! The remarkable picture quality that is very important! One of the best lenses of normal focal length! Though deprived of autofocus!

This is my new favorite lens. It stays on the camera about 90% of the time. The focus is smooth and the aperture clicks perfect.
