Anyone interested to mass order for the EF50mm?
No obligation, just an indication.

I think u r referring to canon 50mm lens.
I have called cp, ap and ms color, all out of stock for 1.8f lens and they dunno when stock coming.
Because I am going overseas soon so i bought a 2nd hand lens from a CSer.
it's very small and light. Everything is ok except the focus noise is very very loud and DOF is v shallow.
 

How much cheaper for the 50mm f/1.4...??

EF50mm f/1.4 = S$530
EF50mm f/1.8 = S$140
 

The e-quote got from CP last week (without GST):

Item1=Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM @ S$625.00
Item2=Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II @ S$130.00 - No stock
 

S$530.00 seems like a good price to get 50mm f/1.4

530 does seem a nice price.. hmm someone quick call... mean time...

I doubt you will be able to get much discount on the f1.8 since it's so cheap oredi and stocks being so limited now. Though you guys may want to try the f1.4 version.
 

bnh retailing the f1.4 for 513 usm version non-usm version is 504.. wonder what's local prices like...
if we can get MO for either lens we can get the lens cheap if we share the shipping cost...
 

pardon me... i must have thought wrongly... one's imported the other is usa

I have been scouting around for f1.8.

CP - $140
MSColor - $135

Both out of stock. IMOH - f1.4 is really too expensive (4.5x the price!!! :bigeyes: ). Is it a matter of f1.8 not good that people would choose the f1.4 one over it?

Or f1.8 is reasonable and its a matter of need for 1 stop difference + USM.

Actually f1.8 and f1.4 are both equally good enough for any shooting. However, for long term view, i understand the built quality is very much difference. f1.8 is plastic-like, noisy, etc... and f1.4 is supposed to be top-quality. If you want quality, long-term ownership and have the budget, i think f1.4 is a fair consideration.

my 2 cents worth.

Right but please be careful with DOF for the f/1.4.
 

Hi hi!

Urm, I have been sourcing for the lens (f1.8) for a week now. All out of stock. If you looking for canon mount, the only cheapest place that still has it is konata, going at $140. TCW deals as middle man selling at $160. Stock for AP was said to come in next week.

This has recently been discussed in another thread, the price that is.

I bought a used one (bad condition but cheap) and serviced it

IMHO, the lens is WELL worth its cost! Go buy buy buy!

Oh LauLee, Think you really must stop buying! heheheheheeeeeeeeeee :bsmilie:

ENJOY!
