Review on πŸ“Έ Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM Lens with Speedlite EL-100: Ultimate Photography Bundle by Stanislaw Wysocki ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The best purchase in my life, I will definitely buy it again.

Incredible clarity, wide enough aperture for natural light indoor photography, lightning-fast autofocus (milliseconds on the 7d II), and only a 10% mistake rate. Although this may not be a major issue for video, the electronic, highly smooth manual focus makes it theoretically hard to fast get into focus. The vignetting and HA that occur up to f/ 4 can be eliminated with a single click in ACR. It's a steal at the price they're offering! The 50mm Canon 1.4 that I used was an older model, so its sharpness and autofocus speed weren't particularly impressive to me. The image quality is many times better than that of the whale 18-55.

Pros
  • Consider the cost, clarity, bokeh, aperture, weight, and noise level.
Cons
  • It's not worth it to take pictures in the rain because there is no aperture or focal length window, manual focusing is impossible, it collects dust quickly, and there is no moisture protection (more details in the comments).
