How good is the macro photography on the Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM Lens?







And if it's not that great, can you recommend a different one?


Answer
The quality is good, but it is not a macro lens. Look at the photos users put on Amazon; these were all taken with the Canon EF 50mm F/1.4 USM

If you want a macro lens then I highly suggest you get the Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM <--- love this lens!

CAnon Lens:what do you prefer USM or IS lens?

Does year 1990's telephoto zoom lens with USM features are still good enough capturing sharp images such as:
75-300mm III USM
90-300mm USM

Whereas, the
55-250mm (new model) has IS

so, what would you prefer?

How USM is important than IS or vice-versa?

pls advice,

thanks
anway my camera is EOS 450D/XSI

am planning to upgrade to telephoto zoom lens w/c is affordable yet offers quality images
my budget falls up to $350.



Answer
okay basics:

Optical Image Stabilizer (IS) technology suppresses blur when taking stills and minimises image shake when shooting video footage. Canonâs lens-shift type IS allows photographers to shoot at shutter speeds up to 3 stops slower with no perceptible increase in image blur.

An Ultra-Sonic Motor (USM) delivers rapid, responsive zooming with virtually silent operation, reducing the risk of sound interference on movies and or when shooting wildlife subjects.

An Ultra-low Dispersion (UD) lens element curbs chromatic aberrations at longer focal lengths to ensure faithful colour reproduction and sharp definition.

So, basically it will depend on the kind of photo shoot you will do, right?

Generally, IS is more preferred. Personally, I go with IS.

taga-bacolod ka ba kabayan? pupunta ko dyan by september or october. hopefully. patingin naman ng mga camera mo!
