ownership: | I own this lens |
compared to: | Canon EF 50/1.4 USM Canon EF 50/1.8 II Sony 50/1.4 |
price paid: | €100,- (used) |
positive: | Small and light Good at f/2 great at f/10 |
negative: | Not that good at f/1.4 |
comment: | I like the Sony/Minolta much more then the Canon 50/1.4. Both the Canon and the Sony aren't that good wide open, the Sony/Minolta improves by f/2, the Canon a little later, I prefer the bokeh of the Sony/Minolta and by f/10 the Sony/Minolta are the best lenses I own. The Sony and Minolta version behave exactly the same. The Sony has a rounded aperture but the difference is small. |
