Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II Interchangeable Lens Review

Canon's EF 50mm f/1.8 II is a compact and lightweight basic standard lens which is available for the bargain price of around £80.

For a little more refinement, Canon's EF 50mm f/1.4 optic sports a faster maximum aperture, better build quality and a virtually silent Ultrasonic focus motor, but costs around £310.

The closest equivalent offered by third party manufacturers is Sigma's 50mm f/1.4 EX DG HSM lens, which offers similar features to Canon's f/1.4 optic but for a price tag of around £380.
