35L 1.4 or 50L 1.2???Which will be more of a everyday lens?

[avsquare]

For me i don't justify the need for a 40mm since i have a 50mm. But then again, it's subjective.

just a little joke, your 50mm is the f/1.2L ;p

most people would have the impression it's the 50mm f/1.8 VS 40mm f/2.8 ;p

How about sigma 50/1.4. Half the price . Performance also not bad .

Don't like the AF of the Sigma.

Hmmm...even if i have the f/1.8 II which i used to have, i also won't buy the 40mm unless got too much money. ;p

Well, the 40mm STM is only $270 and focuses much quieter and faster.

yeah, seriously, I would sell the 50mm f/1.8 and get the 40mm instead, it's just less noisy, better build and small. It's like a nice body cap but you can shoot with it ;p

its still 35mm f1.4 for me

but weirdly enough when recently since dabbling with a RF... i beginning to like 50mm on film but then i still dun like 50mm on digital. weird me haha

For the 50 f/1.8 II, the slower and noisier micro motor is not so critical to me. Besides, the 40 f/2.8 STM was originally made for shooting videos instead.

No, it was designed for CDAF and that doesn't mean video necessarily.

Correct but primarily it was designed for taking videos as its more silent stepper motor is ideal for that function.

I would agree with bro Snoweagle on the video part - the improved stepper motor technology was designed for video and to be used in conjunction with the video servo from 650D series onwards.

For photo taking usage, the best is still ring-USM, but in a way, STM is still better than the 50mm f/1.8's noisy motor.. no fish still got shrimp, better than ikan bilis :bsmilie:

I too prefer 50mm on RF rather than 35mm. Might be the wide aperture affecting my preference here. Never can get use to 50mm on a dslr, 35mm 1.4 for me on a dslr.

Understand, just sometimes it's the weight that irresistible for everyday used

i m ok with 35mm on RF haha but surprised that 50mm works well for me on RF! i never seems to like 50mm on digital though... tried a couple of different 50mm lens but still find the result on RF better!

The micro motor is the most basic type for canon's lenses to date, hence its price too.

The 50 1.8 II is also very light at around 130g. The 40 2.8 is only very compact and flat which looks like a tele-converter.

The 40mm is really very nice. You can put it in your bag, your pocket or even throw at your friend!

But seriously, it's really one nice pancake. Nowadays I can go work with a 5D3 and 40mm pancake in my laptop bag

Agree, all 3pcs 50mm is great! You're right in term of the flatness. Guess i'm in the Buy, Try & most likely Sell for the new 22mm f2, maybe?

yup. it's like being able to bring a good DSLR along easily just like a compact or mirrorless

Wah i won't dare to try to throw my lens at all! Haha...
