Robust, light and sharp lens for a small price!
bought the EF50mm primarily for street photography and am extremely satisfied with the performance in this area. Amazingly, this lens is actually sharper than the 50mm from the Canon L-series at an aperture of 5.6. The aperture of 1.4 and the associated light sensitivity is very pleasant. However, with an aperture of 1.4 you have to deal with a decent decrease in sharpness and - especially for indoor shots - with clear chromatic deviations. The bokeh is very nice and soft. Something special. The autofocus is fast, accurate and also quiet! The weight of 350 grams makes this lens a welcome lightweight in the bag and on the body. The price is unbeatable. You get a really good lens for everyday use for your money. Conclusion: Compared to the much more expensive 50mm from the Canon L series, I would always use this variant. My purchase recommendation for street and snapshots etc. if you don't absolutely need a red ring!
