Canon EF 50mm f 1 8 II Camera Lens

Canon EF 50mm f 1 8 II Camera Lens

This is the lightest EF lens of all at a mere 4.6 oz. (130g). Compact and high-performance, standard lens. Its Gaussian optics provide sharp delineation from near to far focusing distances. The color balance is excellent for a standard lens.

2 Stars Awesome for 2 months, now blurry
I have hardly used this lens and abused it in no way. After 2 months it’s no good to me because I can’t get a sharp picture out of it. The AF is way off. If I manually focus I can come close, but no cigar. All my other lenses are awesome so I know its not the cameras fault.

5 Stars Great portrait lens
This lens has a decent build quality, sufficient if you plan to hold it in your camera bag. The huge advantages over the zoom lens are:

1) The weight – it weights nothing, very light, especially for entry level DSLRs

2) The price – near one hundred bucks price tag makes it a great deal

3) The low light performance and shallow depth of field – no zoom has 1.8f aperture. You can blur the background much better than with zooms and shoot nice portraits. I compared it, for example with kit lens, which is not even mile close. It still can take pictures without flash when my $1000+ zoom can’t.

Some cons, although nothing critical:

1) The sharpness at f/1.8 is not that great for portraits, but improves significantly at f/2.

2) The lack of image stabilizer makes it difficult to shoot at slow shutter speeds without tripod.

3) The manual focus ring is too narrow, though perfectly usable

4) The lens is 50mm, which is perfect for portraits and people shooting when on full film size sensor, but on cropped sensor, like most of the DSLRs have today, it’s 1.6×50=80mm. With this focus length, it’s difficult to shoot full body portraits inside, there must be enough distance to the object. Outside it is less critical, but still noticeable. When I use the zoom lens, I often set it to about 35mm for full body portrait.

Overall it’s a good buy and great value for money. I recommend it, but not as a single lens.

5 Stars Yipee!
I really struggled with buying this lens for a long time. How could something this inexpensive be any better than the kit quality lenses I already own. Looking at all the sample images and comments finally pushed me over the edge and I am glad they did.

This little gem has been giving me clearer pictures than I have been able to achieve for the most part since getting my XSi camera early December 2009. I am even able to do some very nice quazi macro work until I get a real macro lens, and the bokeh is really beautiful. Taking portrait shots of people, well I just can’t say enough good things about that.

This is going to keep me entertained until I can afford to buy more expensive glass, but hey, I live in California, and work for the state. Can you say ‘furlough’?

Go for it!

4 Stars You get what you pay for
You get what you pay for and you don’t pay much for this lens, however, what you get for the price is surprising. If you can get past the cheap build quality you’ll be pleased to find that this lens takes excellent quality photos. Shooting wide open (at f/1.8) gives you a wonderful blurred background and it’s easy to achieve your depth of field goals with this little beauty. That said, I do find the auto focus to be a bit temperamental at times and do sometimes miss a shot having to refocus the lens. This wouldn’t have been enough to deter me from the purchase though. For just under a hundred bucks it really is worth any little quirks and it lets you try out the feel of a prime lens without having to fork out the nearly five hundred dollars for the 50mm 1.4.

Overall, very pleased and I think this lens is a steal.

5 Stars 50mm Lens Surprisingly Great in the Right Situations
I received this lens “stock” when I bought my Canon Rebel xTi (400D) off of a dude on Craigslist. He included a flare guard and a UV filter. At first I had no idea what i was doing with the thing. my initial reaction to a nonzoom lens was THIS IS STUPID WHY DO THEY MAKE SUCH THINGS. I hated that I had to move super far away from my subject matter and that I could get wider shots. As I got used to it, I found out the secret awesome to a no-zoom lens.

-INTENSE depth of field: details get nailed with correct focus

I am very into getting a super focus on my subject, and this lens allows for a huge difference between the subject and everything else. Finding the correct way to focus took a few weeks, but once I figured it out I felt like all my photographs were some sort of brilliant breakthrough. It’s invigorating to have the huge amount of detail from a lower end DSLR. My school had 5Ds for rental, and I feared I would take ages to own that type of hardware after graduating. The quality of shooting is extremely satisfying, as long as you know what you are shooting for. Until you can afford a macro lens, go with this guy.

-capturing live music events can happen

As a band photographer and concert goer, I have played with different types of cameras and (if applicable) lens. The lowlight situations were a biatch when I didn’t have a large flash and didn’t want to distract the performers. This lens rocks at freezing singers in their tracks. Once you find your perch you’re good for the rest of the night. You have to be a little closer than you think you need to be.

I would not use this lens when shooting people in close quarters. you have to get quite a distance away if you want to have anything show up around your subject. It’s a handy lens to have while sightseeing, especially for monuments. If you’re in a museum that allows photography, I would not use it because of needing to be far from the subject — you’d be pretty interrupting to the other museum-goers. The auto-focus can be pretty janky at times which can be a bummer when you want a quick snapshot. Be prepared to do all manual focusing; it creates the best shots with this lens.

This lens is good for a beginner photographer in the land of DSLR because it makes you learn how to use your camera rather than letting you get away with pretending you know what you’re doing.

User Ratings and Reviews

3 Stars So So
I like the idea of it, but a prime lens is far too limiting this day in age, especially when there’s plenty of zoom lenses that have almost as good quality and satisfy 90% of the needs.

This is a good lens for a very specific purpose – wanting a lot of isolation between the subject and the background/foreground.

I don’t recommend getting it for low light shooting because the thing doesn’t have VR – unless you have a tripod. Its low light performance wasn’t as good as I expected.

Mine might be defective but it always seems to focus a few inches away from where I centered on. I don’t know why, and i don’t care because i’m returning it.

Pros

Great image colors and sharpness

Great isolation

Cons

no Vibration Reduction

wide open aperture washes out some colors

5 Stars Great little prime lens!
After getting back into (D)SLR photography and buying a D70 from a friend, I wanted to get a prime lens that I could use in low light situations w/o flash. This neat little 1.8 35mm does the trick; it’s fast, sharp and crisp, with brilliant color rendition, quick AF, and no real problems I can see! Even the price is reasonable for a prime lens, IMO.

I also like that it’s small (compared to my 18-55mm kit lens), which makes it easy to carry both on and off the camera whenever I want to do ‘natural-light’ shooting. And being it’s a DX lens the x1.5 ratio when mounted on a Nikon DX DSLR gives you the same approximate field of view of a 50mm film (or full frame) lens, which has been the standard true-eye size focal length for 35mm film cameras for decades! It’s a great lens for for candids and scenery, and because it’s so sharp it can also do excellent portrait work, providing you get close enough (no zoom, remember?) to your subject..!

-Nice work Nikon, and please make some more reasonable Nikkor primes like this for those of us who cannot afford the huge prices on most of your other DX AF prime lenses. An f4 105 or 200mm prime for around $200 would be a lot easier to swallow than those over-$1K prices (which I can’t afford!) for all of the existing Nikkor 2.8 primes, IMO!

5 Stars Great Lens
The lens has been great. The quality of my pictures increased drastically with the 35mm lens. It works well and is easy to use with auto focus. Learning to use it with manual settings takes a little time, but worth every minute.

5 Stars Fast lens for fun around the house.
This light weight 35mm (52mm equiv) fast f/1.8 little prime lens is a kick in the pants lens for low light candid shots around our house. It’s overall brilliant performance in natural lighting conditions makes it unique enough on it’s own merrit for everyone to consider. The price is right at Amazon for a lot of value, and I can’t think of a negative comment to make about this handy little opticalgem.

5 Stars No brainer for dx cameras
I’ve had this lens for almost a month now for my D40 and haven’t used the kit lens since then. For under $200, every Nikon DX camera user should have one. I noticed immediately sharper pictures and much quicker AF compared to the kit lens. I may never use the kit lens again. Better build quality too. Rarely do I need to use flash which is the main reason I purchased this lens.

4 Stars Good Compact Size / Great Picture Quality
I am very pleased with the Cannon Powershot camera. I got it just a few days before my trip and was very pleased with the pictures I was able to take.

Its compact design made it easy to carry it all times. I used exclusively the ‘Auto’ mode as I had not had time to look into the more advanced features.

I do not think the use of these options is that intuitive. Still, the quality of the pictures was very good.

This camera does not have a printed manual; instead it comes with a DVD that contains the user guide. I wish at least a basic guide of the different programs/features were included to facilitate a comprehensive understanding of the different camera functions.

5 Stars A Great Camera
I have been taking pictures with this camera ever since I got it to get a “feel” for it. I really can’t come up with something negative to say about it! I took motion pictures at a baseball game; shots inside and outside, and all came out very well. I love the size as it is easy to carry in my purse. The instructions that came with it were very clear. I have had several Canon cameras and they do not disappoint me.

5 Stars Best camera i’ve owned so far
I was just looking for a basic digital camera to take pictures with and am by no means a photo or camera buff. But for me using the Canon is fairly straightforward and I just leave it on the auto setting and am very pleased with the quality of the pictures. They are the best pictures i’ve seen with an entry level digital camera and I particularly enjoy the vivid details of the fairly large LCD screen that makes reviewing pictures much easier and pleasurable than i’m accustomed to. I was amazed at how small and thin it was; i mean length and height it is only a little bigger than a credit card (much wider, of course) but it also has a solid build to it. I could fit this easily into any pocket, even in my jeans. I’m glad i got this in time for my trip. Highly recommend this camera.

5 Stars Conventient and smart little camera!
My Dad bought me this camera recently. I am a fifth grade teacher and the size is perfect to have for class trip and activites. I’m not a professional photographer, so the fact that it is so user-friendly is wonderful. The quality of the pictures is better than any point and shoot camera I’ve ever had. I bought a 4G card, and I have never come close to filling it up with pictures and video. My ideal camera is one that is easy to use, doesn’t take up much space, and takes great photos quickly. This is the perfect camera for me!

1 Star 1 Star is for the 1 hundred plus dollars you will lose on this item
I recently purchased this item and now it is so messed up that I have to sell it to a recycling site for a fraction of the price I paid

The reason for this is because the thing is cheaply painted. I took this camera to Prom and had it in a padded pouch in my tux pocket when I wasn’t using it except for once when I dropped it, but it was still in the padded pouch. When I got home I discovered that it had at least four places where the paint had been chipped off the camera. Why? I had no idea until I held it in my hand and realized that even touching it some paint was coming off! This would not have been so bad if it was the only problem with the camera, but it isn’t.

Other things wrong with this camera:

The Iso: As one reviewer pointed out, the Iso on the default setting of this thing is very high. That is an understatement. the Iso is through the roof! the only way to take decent photos with this thing inside and out, is to go to programming mode and set the Iso differently for every different situation you are in. Not very convenient.

The shooting speed: When taking a picture, it takes almost two seconds to process and display the picture you are taking. that is very slow compared to some cameras half the price of this one. it also becomes a huge problem when you are taking pictures of a fast moving object, like an animal or car.

Blur: Any time you take a picture of someone with this camera, you have to have your subject completely still! any sudden movements will cause a blur that will ruin the whole shot. For instance, when I took a picture of one of my friends dancing, the image was completely blurred!

Rotating a picture: Canon is well known for allowing the user to rotate a picture by rotating the camera. On this model, when you rotate the camera, the picture either doesn’t rotate or it rotates very late.

Menus: The menus are very confusing. For instance, when I was looking for the Iso setting in the programing mode, I actually had to do alot of guess work before I found it. Even then the function was not named “Iso Setting” but something different. I can understand needing to read most of the instructions for a more advanced camera. but this is supposed to be a simple Point and Shoot. you should be able figure out at least the basic functions without them.

Zoom: When you zoom in on your subject you are very limited on the distance you can zoom in. You either have very wide view, midrange view, or very close view. there is almost no in between. the same goes for when you are browsing pictures in playback mode.

I hate to be so negative, but these are my true experiences with camera and I want to warn other buyers before they throw away almost $200 on this product. I have heard many good things about Canon’s quality, but bottom line is this camera does not contain any of it. hope you find this review helpful. As for me, I am about to go buy a Nikon Coolpix S3000. hopefully will have better luck with it.

5 Stars Super little camera
I love this camera! I’m a REALTOR and use the wide angle to capture views of properties and yards. Wonderful and compact.

I would recommend to anyone looking for a point and shoot camera with no fussing.

4 Stars It’s Canon…it’s good!
Bought this Canon because…well, because I like Canon products. My other Canon Digial Elph was taken on my last trip to the UK. This one will be used for the same purpose this summer. The photos are exceptional….and it is very easy to use.

5 Stars The best camera to have…
…is one you’ll have with you. The nice thing about the Canon ELPH series is they easily fit into your pocket, are well built/designed, don’t cost a lot, come with a boatload of features, and take great pictures. The SD1300, the latest in the ELPH line continues in that tradition, adding considerable additional sophistication and sacrificing some useful functionality in the interest of cutting cost.

It is a small camera and carries with it the baggage that comes with the convenience of having to carry so little baggage. (sorry, couldn’t resist) None of the issues raised, given that they comes as part of the convenience trade-off made me consider anything other than the 5-star rating this camera deserves.

- Many of the functions are only accessible through menus, sometimes several levels deep. The good new is the Automatic and scene modes are pretty good (as long as you spend a few minutes reviewing what they really do). This camera is not intended to be used in aperture or shutter priority, let alone full manual.

- The battery life might be shorter than you expect. That’s a trade-off for having a camera that’s small and light; you get a battery that is small and light. One thing you can do is get a spare battery. That is good advice for any camera. Another thing that will help is to keep the display off as much as possible. That means using the monitor as little as possible. The “sad” part is that Canon chose to drop the optical viewfinder in this model. That means a camera that is simpler and less expensive to make but will go through batteries quicker because you must use the display when taking picture.

- The camera response is a bit slow for effectively capturing children and pets. The trick for doing that is to either have a great sense of timing and a shutter that reacts instantly or a reasonably fast ( > 4x / sec ) burst mode. This camera has neither.

Some other suggestions that apply:

- Use the lowest ISO available given your requirement for either aperture or shutter speed. To avoid getting technical, higher ISO always introduces higher noise. At issue is when it becomes noticeable. In newer dSLR cameras you can get over 1000, maybe well over depending on the camera, before the noise becomes noticeable. For this camera keeping it at or below 200 is a good idea.

- Don’t use in-camera sharpening. Digital pictures will almost always benefit from sharpening but you are better off doing it with a photo editing program. Compuer-based algorithms tend to be more sophisticated and you can better judge the results on your monitor as opposed to the camera LCD.

- If you want more vivid colors and have the choice use sRGB instead of Adobe RGB. While you get fewer colors they are distributed over a wider range. They are also render better on computer monitors, many commercial labs, and any other place your pictures are likely to show up.

5 Stars Awesome Camera
This camera takes great pictures and is so convenient I use it much more than my bulky Nikon DSLR, which I also love. But this Canon s90 shoots extremely well in low light. And it is fast. So I find I tend to reach for it whenever I am going to be in a dark place or when I know I won’t have a lot of time to set the shot. Plus it is very well built and so easy to carry around in a pocket. I highly recommend this camera.

5 Stars Excellent equipment
A very good piece of equipment. I did study it profoundly before purchasing the Canon S90, but the features presented really surprised me. An excellent equipment for serious photographers to have on hand and very cool camera for the photographic enthusiast. It’s the perfect match to an DSLR, as a “backup gun”.

There are few bad things about it. The very small size of the camera makes it difficult to hold.

I am actually considering buying a second one to have as a spare. I really wouldn’t like Canon to discontinue this one. Highly recommended.

4 Stars GOOD SNAPSHOT CAMERA. SLR USERS WILL NOT BE HAPPY WITH COMPOSING A PICTURE IN BRIGHT LIGHT ENVIRONMENT.
GOOD SNAPSHOT CAMERA. SLR USERS WILL NOT BE HAPPY WITH COMPOSING A PICTURE IN BRIGHT LIGHT ENVIRONMENT.

5 Stars Great camera so far-very glad I got it
I own a Nikon D300 and a Casio Exilim EX-Z750. Since the Casio was showing its age, I was looking for a very compact camera to carry in a belt-pouch as a replacement.

My review might be a little premature since I’ve only owned the camera a few weeks but so far, WOW! The rear control ring, which adjusts EV value by default, is easy to knock if you’re not careful but since relative EV value shows on the LCD, it’s just as easy to get into the habit of checking the EV setting as you would shutter speed or F-stop (and it shows right down in the same area of the LCD that those settings do). And if you’re a skilled photographer making the most of your camera, you will often want to check and tweak the EV value to optimize your shots, anyway.

The camera LCD is breathtaking (not quite as good as a Nikon D300′s but great for appreciating your pictures as you take them). The pictures are very sharp. The low-light capability of the camera is impressive and I like the motion-warning that’s very obvious when you’re about to cross the threshold of acceptable shutter speeds in a low-light situation. See ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/71ylIfu832L.jpg (0.5 sec exposure, ISO 1600, hand-held by available light!)

The zoom, as other reviewers have noted, is a bit incremental but with the quality of the pictures taken, hey, I don’t mind zooming out a bit more than I want if needed and cropping later.

I like the ability to shoot simultaneously in RAW and JPEG. If you do, you lose some of the special tweaks the camera is capable of but I enjoy the latitude having a RAW image affords for post-capture processing.

The Digital Photo Professional software that comes with the camera for handling RAW images is pretty easy and intuitive to use, too. Too bad it doesn’t offer local area correction like Nikon Capture NX2 does but I guess one can always plunk down the money for Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2, which offers local corrections and handles Canon S90 RAW images.

I tried two belt cases for the S90 based on online reviews. Both the Canon Powershot 500 case and the LowePro Rezo 30 case fit the S90 well. The Rezo 30 case closes with a zipper, not as convenient as the Velcro flap on the Canon case but better for keeping the dust and dirt out of the case. Canon case has a permanent belt loop while the Rezo case easily detaches from the belt, using a combination of a Velcro flap and button snap to securely attach the case to a belt.

All in all, I highly recommend the Canon S90 for a camera you can easily carry anywhere on your belt but takes GREAT pictures and is a joy to use.

4 Stars Not perfect, but close
This is going to be more like a story than a product review, but maybe it will be helpful to others who were looking for the same features I was.

First of all, I wasn’t in the market for a camera at all: I have a Casio EX-Z750 that, frankly, is still nearly unbeatable in its class (subcompact P&S). I happened to be browsing a recent B&H catalog and noticed the Olympus E-P2 – very attractive retro look! Started reading up on it (especially the outstanding information on [...]) and decided I had to see one of these in the flesh. Found one at a local store, and while it’s gorgeous, it’s nowhere near as compact as I imagined from the catalog photo. And it has no viewfinder (Casio does) and no flash! But it has a large image sensor and apparently amazing image quality. So I got to thinking: what else is out there that can do better than my beautiful little Casio? I’ve always lamented its lack of RAW images, and eventually it will break, but pretty much everything about it is incredible. So my research turned up these cameras (data largely gathered from [...], with additional info from manufacturers’ websites):

Camera || Sensor size || Aperture || Focal length || Flash

Canon PS S90 || .43 cm2 || f/2.0 || 28-105mm || Yes

Olympus E-P2 || 2.43 cm2 || f/2.8* || 17mm* || No

Panasonic LX3 || .45 cm2 || f/2.0 || 24-60mm || Yes

Sigma DP2 || 2.85 cm2 || f/2.8 || 24mm || Yes

* The Olympus camera has interchangeable lens; the 17mm F/2.8 was the fastest “normal” lens that fits my needs.

The Panasonic’s lens is a Leica that’s very highly regarded.

The Canon S90 is, by far, the most compact of the cameras in this group. The Olympus could never be considered a pocket camera. The Panasonic is somewhat larger than the Canon, though perhaps still “pocketable”. The Sigma is really too large for a pocket, though quite a bit more compact than the Olympus.

All of these cameras have RAW mode. None of them has an integral viewfinder (not many subcompact P&S cameras do, anymore, but I still like them for when the sun is shining directly on the LCD).

I ruminated about all of this for quite a while before settling on the Canon. Its lens is excellent, the image sensor is the .43cm2 size (1/1.7″) of the best-in-class subcompact P&S cameras, and it has RAW image mode. The other cameras were all larger – enough to be the deciding factor for me. But I really do like the idea of the very large sensor – eventually someone will offer a camera closer to my wishes, but there isn’t one around at the present time.

Concerning the camera itself: there’s little need to repeat what’s already been said very well by others. I’ve compared the JPEG images to my Casio (which is probably the best I’ve seen on any camera for color balance, saturation, etc.) and they’re just as good. I haven’t seen a P&S that does better. But having RAW image recording opens up a world of processing that’s not possible with the Casio. There’s some barrel distortion, but it’s no worse than on any other camera with a similar lens (and marginally better than the Casio, which can be fairly annoying). And, for the desperate, this can be corrected with PhotoShop and other software.

My only real complaints have been voiced numerous times by others: the rear control dial looseness and the flash location.

The control dial on the rear of the camera is outrageously loose. It’s virtually impossible to use the camera in any mode but fully automatic without inadvertantly changing whatever setting the dial controls for the chosen mode (the dial does nothing in full automatic). In fact, the entire control assembly of which it’s a part is so poorly designed as to be an utter anomaly in Canon cameras. How on earth could they not notice such a shortcoming before releasing the product? Nevertheless, I knew about this and had even tried the camera in a store, and it still didn’t deter me from buying it. But it will be a constant nuisance. No doubt Canon will eventually get around to addressing this, but as it can’t be fixed by a firmware update, those of us who bought this camera are stuck with it.

Second, the location of the pop-up flash is absurd: it’s at the top left front corner of the camera, exactly where my left index finger is all the time! I’ve had the camera for exactly two days, and I can’t count the number of times that the damn thing decided to pop up (since it’s usually preferable to leave the flash in automatic than turned off all the time) and promptly retract after bumping into my finger, with the resulting “restart camera” error message. I hope that this doesn’t eventually cause the flash mechanism to self-destruct, and, with luck, I may get used to holding the camera differently, but even though I knew about this before buying, it is unexpectedly annoying. Given the size and layout of the camera, it’s not an unreasonable location for the flash, but still …

So it’s not quite the perfect pocket camera, but for me, it’s the best currently available. I really miss a viewfinder, and that control dial and flash are a royal pain. But I finally got my RAW mode on a very compact camera with a good, fast lens and a larger image sensor. So I’ll carry both the Casio and the Canon for a while until I decide which one will become the spare. I suspect the Casio might end up in a drawer – unless that dial on the S90 finally drives me crazy.
