The 1.4 has superior contrast but is very fragile. After having mine repaired ($100), I put a cheap lens hood on it and never take it off. The 1.4 is very nice at f4-f8. It is mediocre wider than f2. In 2012, it was my best option. I wouldn't recommend it today. Get a 50 1.4 Planar if you don't need AF. It is far superior.
Is this lens good for taking pictures of art work on canvas for copies? I want a good lens to take pictures of my art work instead of scanning them? Which lens will be more suitable? And I have a Cannon T6 rebel will it be compatible?
I think every lens will be good for taking pictures of canvas. But a wider lens (maybe your kit lens) will be more suitable! If you have a tripod every lens should work
The Canon 50 1.4 is super fragile. I broke 2 from small drops. I find the 50 1.8 STM a much better lens. The build and image quality is amazing, very durable. The 50 1.4 has an awful manual focus grinding feel and sound. I also own the 50 1.2. But I think the 1.8 as almost as good. I still despise my 1.4 (which is broken).
@@LeeLocke Duck head? I mean, he is just talking a lot of stuff, but: - no comparison - missing information - WRONG INFORMATION The part where he literally "forgets" major differences to explain and show annoys me the most, especially regarding to the build quality (EF 50 1.4 very bad and fragile mechanics, RF 1.8 not only better haptics but also much more robust internally) and image quality Especially in image quality EF 50 1.4 and RF 50 1.8 (or EF 50 1.8 STM): RF50 1.8: - relatively sharp, also in the corners. Tack sharp at F4 up to about F9 - barely CA, low distortion from close to infinite focus. Basically a highly corrected, MODERN lens - "high quality" and robust EF 50 1.4: - wide open missing a lot of sharpness, at F 2.8 it gets acceptable, but it barely gets sharp at all. - 3d pop. It has one, as little as it is, unlike the modern 50mm Canon lenses. - corner sharpness? Not existing. CA? YES, a lot. - feels not too bad, but plasticy. But the bummer and its not mentioned at all: very fragile mechanics, especially regarding to the AF system and the AF/MF clutch. As someone who had 2 Canon EF 50 1.4 and later for 2 years a RF 50 1.8, its just sad to see how little information is given there, but much worse: the MISINFORMATION.
@@harrison00xXx Thanks for the right information. Now I know a lot more. Excellent reply. Apologies if I offended you. I will get back to YOU next time. When I need to find out the proper info on camera lenses. I'm getting a new, well second hand Samsung NX 300 soon. Are you familiar with the lens compatibility with this camera at all? Thank you for your expert advice, regards Lee. 😀
@@harrison00xXx cool, as my camera is coming with an EOS to NX adapter. What Canon lens would you recommend? Bearing in mind my camera is coming with 2 lenses. Both Samsung, one is 20 to 50mm and the second is 50 to 200mm. I value your recommendations.
@@LeeLocke heavily depends on the usecases. But if i would have this setup and 20-200mm already, i would probably look into ulrawide lenses such as 10-20 3.5 Sigma, 10-18, better 10-22 EF-S from canon. Or if it fits your usecases better and is in your budget, you cant make much wrong with for example a Sigma 150-600C on EF mount as long you dont mind the size, weight and poor stabilisation. Also, i have no clue how well autofocus works adapted to Samsung NX mount if at all. Still, i would also look deeper into native NX mount lenses, probably you find some for a bargain, its not really a much used system anymore, Samsung in general is already pretty much behind in technology. It could be for real good for you, same with for example the EOS-M system, it might be an "outdated" mount you wont see anything new or updated anymore, but prices dropped a lot due to the new mounts/systems. I was also for over 10 years on budget gear (lenses between 50-300€ 2nd hand, bodies between 70-400€, mixed 2nd hand and one body once new, mainly 2nd hand and older stuff. I even purchased a 70€ EOS 550D many years ago as the 700 or 750D was the actual model already. Regular price was like 250-300€, but since this 550D was very fked up (visually, but worked just fine) he sold it for cheap and i loved this camera, used for over 3 years before upgrading to a new body, also the first "expensive" one (EOS RP for 1000€, later switched to the R7 with "just" 250€ lost), best value camera body i ever bought with the 550D.

Excellent content. Thank you Christian from Texas.
Will you recommend to buy adapter with r6 ii and use my ef 50 1.4 or buy new rf 50 1.8 instead?
Which lens you bought?
I had the same question, and I am wondering if you did that and how was the result?
Is this lens good for taking pictures of art work on canvas for copies? I want a good lens to take pictures of my art work instead of scanning them? Which lens will be more suitable? And I have a Cannon T6 rebel will it be compatible?
I think every lens will be good for taking pictures of canvas. But a wider lens (maybe your kit lens) will be more suitable! If you have a tripod every lens should work
@@IceblueParamedic thanks I appreciate your help.
If you want maximum detail, a 100mm macro great for reproduction work.

This stupid cupping of lenses and cameras is irritating and off putting, would have been much better showing the two lenses and images side by side.
Thanks🎉
The voice in the video sounds so artificial, like a robot, it's disturbing
Canon EF 50mm F1.4 has an micro USM motor , and is more fragile. if you are not careful you will broke easily.
Bla bla
