Less than 100 € for a Canon lens ....

But what makes this lens from and why I can not just put all my heart ..... each ?? Gnaws not quite, but I will get even.

(Skip otherwise just this paragraph) Short to myself: I am ambitious amateur photographer who needs to get the most out of the equipment that I can afford with little money.

But now to the lens: I will not go over the technical facts and shipped. There are further up a good product description. First of all you get for 100 more than you expect.

from the outside:
The lens works by the plastic used exclusively and the low weight very cheap and the missing metal bayonet will contribute to a. Nevertheless, this design offers advantages as well as disadvantages: It's very easy! Straight to the disadvantages compared to other lenses from other price range, but the same design I come in the further course.

Image quality:
As with all fixed focal lengths also offers this by a few lenses and barely existing mechanical parts, a super sharpness that you just do not get long with zoom lenses similar price range. Of course you should The Canon EF 50mm f1 / 1.8ii not compare with an L lens from Canon. The cost for a reason nearly 2000th

Open aperture:
But just off the super sharpness provides the lens will also find a wide open aperture that only allows the creative use of depth of field, especially if you previously knew only the kit lens.

Autofocus:
Now we have arrived at the point that I would rather forget. This lens has a lousy autofocus. So sharp the lens is so nice is the large maximum aperture and in low light makes the picture still light and short exposure times possible if the focus is not sitting does not help all that. With enough light, the autofocus sits quickly and accurately, but it is too dark rattles he like to back and forth or is no focal point or he finds one and is still blurred. Just chatter here is the key word: it is a mechanical engine as the kit lens (EF-S 18-55mm f 1: 3.5-5.6 IS). This type of autofocus is much cheaper than an ultrasonic motor, therefore installed in this cheap lens but noisy (which is still verschmerzter when not filming) but it is also slow and happy times imprecise.

I think I have summarized the key points that are so struck me about this lens succinctly. In conclusion, I still want to make a recommendation, to whom is this lens and what other you should watch.

This lens is aimed clearly photographer with little money who are currently still in the discovery phase, which does not yet really know what you want to photograph and what equipment you need. On the plus side are definitely the affordable price, the Great sharpness and the large maximum aperture. On the other hand, the autofocus is abysmal. Now one might reply, 3: 1, so buy ....

... Jain, because if you know you're with fixed focal lengths Photographed I advise a lot and like to Canon EF 50mm f1: 1.4 USM. This will cost about three times, ie 300. There has even more open aperture, an even better focus and the USM motor (ultrasonic motor). These engines are much quieter and more accurate than conventional motors. In addition, they offer the luxury despite autofocus refocus manually. Likewise, there is a general opinion: Who buys approves, buys twice. This can, you are not sure what type of photography is one, be good. But is someone who definitely at home in portrait photography and it needs a fixed focal length, the more expensive variant should pick.

As a general tip should be an objective, which is bought just for its range not less than 300 cost. From this price you get good lenses (the exception proves the rule)

I hope I could make you understand why this objective may, however, would not wholeheartedly recommend.
