fine-camera-lenses Review for Usm Autofocus

This was my first lens that I purchased almost 4.5 years ago for my then new Canon 20D (which I am still using). I found the 18-55 very constraining in terms of being able to take photos indoors of my daughter and capturing her in action. I thought about getting the 1.8, but finally decided I would take the plunge and buy the 1.4 instead.

I immediately fell in love with the effect provided by the lens with the shallow depth of field. As I learned to use the lens I found out about Bokeh which is a term used to describe how smooth/soft the out of focus background area is in a picture. This is driven by the shape of the aperture, the more circular the more pleasing it is and this is often achieved by having more blades for the aperture or shaped blades. The biggest hurdle was learning not to use 1.4 for every situation due to the shallow depth of field. For portraits with the 1.6x crop factor on the 20D this has been great and is often my go to lens for most situations. After using this for several years I ended up getting the 85mm 1.2L II lens and enjoy that as well, for the same reasons. It is a good thing the 50mm 1.2L wasn’t available when I was shopping or I might have ended up with that instead.

Even having the 85mm, I find that having the 50mm is a very convenient focal length for a general carry around lens and for pictures indoor where space is limited. I found after using a lens of this quality I couldn’t go back to the original 18-55 that was included with the 20D, though I have since had a chance to use the newer model that has IS and found that to be a big improvement. All in all if you are looking for a good lens that provides very nice pictures, I can certainly recommend this lens, especially after the number of years of use I have gotten out of it.
