- Autofocus
- The maximum aperture / shutter beginning
(- Conditionally: only 5 aperture blades, so not quite as nice bokeh, but that's a matter of taste)
BUT: The image quality is superb, if you shoot as follows:
- Auto Focus
- Aperture 4.0 or 5.6 (panel 8 is also)
- Enable Live View mode
- Go to 10x magnification
- Focus manually
The course works best with a tripod. The LiveView is important through the viewfinder wirds only what if you have an extra matte focusing screens (for manual focusing) in the camera.
Of course, ISO 100 and help acceptable shutter speed to image quality improvement, but this is independent of the lens.
When shooting on the type, you get images at the level of 70-200er L lenses, and also much better pictures than the 24-105 L-er. Therefore, the lens is in the definition ranking at Traumflieger.de on the best 50-primes site. It is abildungstechnisch Canons best 50s focal length, followed by 1.4er, and the 50 1.2 L has a very bad place (it's designed for extreme low-light and Canon defends himself with the fact that a rather soft resolution of portraits is quite beneficial. It plays in a different league and is not quite as directly with the other to compare, as it is created for other needs).
This means the bottom line:
The objective is none to only footprints, so it is not so much to my Menung for beginners. But if you build on maximum image quality, this lens is highly recommended.
Metal bayonet and focus scale are great things, but you can do without. As described, the plastic bayonet is qualitatively tidy and contributes to light weight at.
