sharp images, interesting focal length, awesome macro capabilities, lousy auto focus I'm an amateur and this is the first lens I've purchased for my Canon 6D. Overall it's definitely a WIN -- like the title says, the images are quite sharp and I really enjoy the macro ability. I find the 50mm focal length to be intriguing; I've only tried it for tight portrait-type shots so far, and it's done a great job with them. Bokeh is gorgeous. My only gripe is the auto focus: it's slow, loud, and, well, bad at focusing. If I had to rely on the auto focus, I'd certainly miss too many shots to even bother with this lens. Luckily, there's a manual focus and I'll probably just use that all the time.
Great for Macro and general use This lens is a wonderful value. It offers a full 1:1 macro image for super close-up photography. It also doubles as a 'normal' 50mm lens, and because of its design and high quality works perfectly as an all-around lens. It is very sharp overall, with good contrast. I am using it on my Sony a7 with an adapter so the auto focus doesn't function, but for macro work, I always use manual focus anyway.
love it have used on 5d2 and its just fine
