Excellent 35mm I used this lens with my Canon 60D for a wedding in the church (indoor and outdoor at the evening). This is perfect for portraiture. And this has a confirmation chip. But you need to take good care of focus with Live View mode as Magiclantern focus peaks is not 100% reliable. I lost some shots with focus peak. So I had to magnify the Live view to focus exactly. But again, this is quite good lens for portrait photography and videography.
Makes you think through every shot… but rewards It’s a beast of a lens and learning to get it in focus is a task. As the aperture is manual, you have to think through everything before the shot, but it’s fun and something that every beginner should use to learn how to use a camera.
Bargain prime lens This heavily built lens is a wonderful step up from my two kit lenses. It gives a much crisper image than my Canon 18-135mm zoom lens, and provides better bokeh than either that or my 70-300mm zoom lens. However, no matter the f-stop, the image is slightly hazy when you zoom in while post-processing. While certainly my clearest lens yet, none of the photos I've taken so far with this lens are crystal clear. It's a great price for a prime lens, and overall, I recommend! Pros: - great bokeh - manual aperture ring, with stops between each number - crisp images Cons: - Manual-only focus - images crisp, but not crystal clear - some problems with lens flare when shooting into the light
