I hate to say it but watching this video there was a point later in the video were I felt like I was being talked down to because I didn't spend the $1000 for the sigma and bought the 50mm STM. Like the Sigma is a great lens but if you are a Noob and don't know any better the 50mm STM is better than nothing. I'm sure it wasn't intended that way but it's just the vibe I got.

Who tell the model to wear the glasses to check sharpness of the lenses. Chromatic Aberration are just detail which you can correct in Lightroom.

The nifty fifty was my first canon prime lens, & it was great value. the 50mm stm looks even a better mount, a better, quieter focus system, sharper with more contrast, better bokeh, less fringing, better build quality, & on top of that it has a nice unique creamy look that the new more expensive lenses lack. What's not to like.

I got into film and photography just as a hobby a few years back and have been taking my time enjoying the learning curve and every time I think I have a firm grasp on all of this I end up learning something new! Thanks for this video because once I finally thought I had a firm grasp on aperture (Just started actually learning about it a few days ago) I heard something that was mentioned towards the end of the video that I wasn't aware of. I had no idea that aperture also affects depth of field and I got to playing around with my new canon 50mm f1.8 STM lens (which I love by the way especially since I am just doing this for fun) and I was able to really notice the difference in the depth of field as I stopped up. I follow quite a few channels because certain people can explain the same thing in different ways and I'm sure I've heard it on other videos but thanks for mentioning the fine details like that in your videos because it really helps people like me who are still learning! Also I really like how you framed every shot for the video really nicely! It was a really visually appealing and educational video that I enjoyed watching! Subbed!

This STM version is awesome with my APC 7D. I am very impressed the focus is not bad either in low light

[MichaelNNguyen]

Just pick up mine for $75 brand new on clearance from my local Essex Bargain Store. Loving this lens with my Canon 5D Mark III.

The best video on the comparison of 50mm 1.4 and 1.8. Thank you

[shaunhopkinson]

I'd just like to thank all who embarrass the less fortunate like myself who can't afford the over-priced lenses and other equipment. We know that you get what you pay for, but to shame us by talking about a bit of extra gear noise etc. is rather pathetic. If only we were all loaded and could afford the best stuff. Personally I think you should take a leaf out of Mike Browne's and Gavin Hoey's books and be a bit more sympathetic to those that are either just starting out or have limited funds. For example, jumping from a $100 prime to a $1000 version with a mega bucks camera.

I have the 50 1.4 from Canon, and it is almost unusable below 1.8.   But the focus motor is less noticeable which is nice in quiet situations.    I also purchased it used, which is what I would recommend for the Canon 50 1.4.   If I wasn't in the market for a tilt-shift, I would be getting the Sigma 50

8:06 Exactly what I was wondering, until Canon announced they ceased development of EF lenses. That brought back memories of when they abandoned the FD lenses system.
I wish they would at least have ended with a definitive 50mm 1.4.

What is the best settings for this lens? ( iso, aperture, exposure, shutter speed )

[LazyScoutJace]

Very great review! This explains exactly what I was trying to convey to my friends about aberrations while wide open.

[theyellowgloves]

I bought one and must say it's cool

[AshBashVids]

The Canon 50mm f1.8 really shines on FF cameras. It's not really optimal for crop sensors.

[antoniotony]

amazing video. I'm going to get this lens. what camera light metering mode did you use for these photographs. thanks.

[poolqueenpark]

Remember, You can Enjoy Full STM Benefits if your camera have Hybrid AF or Dual Pixel AF. Its WORTH to upgrade.

[chewieren]

which lens and camera did you use to shoot this video?

[Jiaqiantingg]

How do you take such good pictures with the lense when its daytime? Cause i have this lense as well and when i try to shoot at daytime, there's is just too much light and the photo just turns out to be a white canvas. Please answer this question for me!!

Crossing my fingers for a review of the rx100iv!
