But my grief was assuaged by the acquisition of the Canon 50mm 0.5/1.4 model. I paid more than only $350 for which sweet lens. Plus it was worth each penny. Part of the rationale for buying the better model was for the better lens construction. The plastic lens had shattered, thus I figured the metal casing of the [*fr1]/1.four model would provide better ends up in case of another accident.
The moment accident was a piece other than the first. I picked up my camera (with 50mm lens attached), and the final camera strap caught on one thing, pulling the camera of the my hand. It hit the concrete of the garage floor. I was horrified. However upon inspection, there was no apparent damage. That is until I tried to use the camera to take a picture. That is after I discovered the lens no longer worked. It seems the main focus had been damaged. I could not even manually focus the lens. I am still in mourning.
My experience with the Canon 50mm [*fr1]/1.4 lens has created a believer of the me. It looks an superb photographic tool. Since I have not used the F/1.two model, I can't comment on that one, but this one is a fine lens that will satisfy either an enthusiastic amateur or a skilled photographer.
It's 0.5/1.4 wide aperture makes it an superb alternative for low light pictures. I personally have used it to go on pictures at concerts while not a flash and got superb images.
Another advantage of this lens was (its now past tense) when using it as a portrait lens. The Bokeh is awesome. Even though it is not the lens of option for professional portrait shooters, it will a actually nice job.
Then some weeks ago, I used to be at a high faculty basketball game, plus a friend was taking action shots using the [*fr1]/1.4 lens. She said it had been far best than the 70-200mm telephoto lens for two reasons. Initial, the very wide aperture was excellent in the gym with its difficult lighting setup. Second, she was shooting on the gym floor, and the Canon seventy-200mm lens was too long to catch each one the action. I had not considered the [*fr1]/1.4 lens a sports lens, but in that situation, it was the excellent match.
Thus, now, I must replace my lens. When all, I even have been known to say that each photographer needs a 50mm lens.
