My friend bought an FD adapter for a few lenses he bought second-hand, I shot some stuff on a 5D with them and absolutely hated it. Highlights were totally blown out in studio and outdoors, there was flare all over the place.

You need to apply Sharpness to Raw files in Lightroom. If your slider is set to 0, that could be part of the problem.

550/600/650D + the 30mm 1.4 is a pro move.

Rageaholic Monkey posted:Having recently sold my 50 1.8 and purchasing a refurb Tamron 60 f/2 macro, should I buy a 40 pancake? I would say yes to getting it if it's not going to impact you greatly financially, it really is a stellar lens, probably the best Canon have made in a long time. Colour rendition and sharpness on it are just incredible.

sirbeefalot posted:I was nearly set on the 50mm 1.8, what would be the better pick? That, or the 40mm pancake refurb? The 50 is obviously faster but that's about where the advantages stop. The 40 is much better rendering colours (I've taken the exact same shot with both lenses and the 50 looks VERY washed out). The build quality of the 40 (metal mount, good focus ring) is also vastly superior to the 50 (which is plastic all over and feels cheap as hell)

triplexpac posted:Interesting... I use the 50 a lot for portraits and stuff, if the 40 will give me better colours I'll jump on it. It might be that bit wide for portrait, particularly close up stuff. Could lead to unflattering results, but I've never tried it for that to be honest.

The 50 1.8 is a pretty cheap lens and isn't very sharp wide open. Obviously you'll get a lot shallower DOF if you get it but I'd imagine the L Zoom will be pretty sharp at F/4 on a high ISO. You might be better saving a bit extra for the 1.4, which can probably be had for not a lot more secondhand.

Canon would rather just keep making Rebel/Tx bodies and their C cinema line instead of...lenses for either of their mounts.

sirbeefalot posted:Just received my 40mm pancake, "smallest DSLR" is now complete. Crazy how much louder the STM focus is in this vs. the other two lenses. AFAIK, the STM on the 40mm pancake wasn't really designed intentionally for video, whereas the other two ( I assume you're talking about the EF-S STM lenses) were.

Rageaholic Monkey posted:From the video reviews I've watched, that's exactly what it was designed for: silently maintaining autofocus in video, as long as your body supports the STM functions. It didn't look like it worked so well for that but that's what it sounded like it was built for. Is that incorrect? Ah OK, cool. Video autofocus though

There's the Canon 50mm Macro (or is it 60? I think it's 50) that people seem to like.

If you're taking a lot of product pictures then you probably won't need the insane AF of the mark 3.

Dunno if it's your technique like caberham said but the 40 2.8 is sharp as hell wide open. I'd definitely recommend it over the 50 1.8, which I think is a horrible cheap lens but if it's portrait work your doing, consider saving up and getting the 85 1.8 instead. It's SUCH a good portrait lens.

I liked the 50 1.8 until I got the 40 and realised how horrible the contrast/colour reproduction is on the 50.

85 1.8 should be one of those lenses all Canon owners look into, the quality is amazing for the price.

I made a similar "Sony hab no lenses" comment somewhere a while back and someone replied with a list of Sony's lens range. There seems to be a very decent line of them but I'm guessing that's more for their DSLRs. If they released their cameras with EF or DX mounts, they could clean up.

Whirlwind Jones posted:The Sigma ART lenses are freaking bricks. I mean it's a great all around lens, but the 40 is something like 6x lighter. For a walk around that's a pretty big difference. This is exactly my feeling in the matter. I've the standard 30 1.4 and the 40 2.8 and the 40 is so much lighter for just walk around stuff.

If you have enough money to buy that lens, you're probably not going to get it from eBay.

Go google pictures from each lens, especially stuff shot wide-open. The 1.2 is so much faster and sharper.

Exactly. The 1.2L came out in way back in 2007 (although in Canon lens terms that's basically brand new).triplexpac posted:Is that the Sigma 50 ART or just the standard 1.4? Don't do this (as in don't buy the 1.2L). Get the 85 1.8 instead and then save for a new body or one of the Sigma lenses. Quantum of Phallus fucked around with this message at 21:27 on Jul 22, 2014 |

Stick it on when travelling, take it off when shooting. One of my friends managed to save her front element from being destroyed by having a UV filter on when she was on a plane. They're cheap as poo poo anyway.

If you want subject isolation, get the 50 1.8 or the 85 1.8 and stand further back. The 30mm is too wide really.

You'll never get any real subject isolation on the 40 though. (Still the best lens Canon have released in years)

Export some JPGs and see if you still have the problem. Like 1st AD said, it's probably just a preview issue.
