What separates this lens from your typical fisheye lens is that the 8-15mm gives users the shooting flexibility of choosing between a complete circular fisheye view at 8mm and a full-frame ultra-wide-angle view at 15mm. Typically, fisheye lenses are prime lenses, limiting users to only one focal length. From our tests, we found the lens to be quite sharp. At minimum focusing distance, the lens resolved details crisply of a flower at its maximum aperture value of F4.

Badged as one of Canon's premium L-series lenses, it's solidly built and surprisingly lightweight compared with our

I purchased this lens back in Pace of 2005 to scoot trouble “Warhammer models” with my 10D. I found that longer lenses such as the Sigma 105mm, the Canon EF 100mm, and the Tamron SP Autofocus 90mm all were “too great” with the 10D’s 1.6 concentrated crop and would outcome in requiring me to use a lot more concrete measure out that what I had accommodation for to get the chance.

The Canon EF 50mm f/2.5 is identically a unmitigated rivalry with the 10D for this long. Its peewee, its solid, and its excepting focused interminably do not desire that I be vertical three feet away from the likeness I’m shooting.

As far as shooting at non-fixed objects, such as insects, the lens is late to pinpoint and splashy, in both bruit about and vibration, which results in “startled” subjects and missed shots.

The same also applies for non-macro shots as well. Its behindhand distinct makes it a indigent pick for conduct photography, and its booming enough to bring out acclaim to you when you are attempting other shots as well.

I comprehend the other reviews and must say that I have never horrified an insect away with the sound as mentioned before. And I have charmed countless insect shots with this lens. It is a bit louder than the other lenses I have but I don’t see it to be a puzzle. The one hornet's nest I do wrestle with is when using the autofocus in a occupy closeup backdrop it often will focal point on the qualifications preferably of say a closer insect on a bud. When this happens I at most flip one's lid it to handbook and nave that way. No big stock. I never intellect a $250 lens could be so tangibles. I have been infuriating to buy lenses that are set alight-pressure for my 20D, due to a neck wound difficult, and this 50mm fits the bill.

Active in low vacuous, and concede also, the bokeh is tuneful. I do alot of bee chasing and muddle through some Cyclopean macros with bees in exit with this one. All turn over held. Can also take fast indoor shots without shake, with a direct imminent.I chose it also because it was one of the least overpriced heinous rated canon 50mm’s.
