Super Lens at a Super Price
2008-03-29This little 50mm f1.7 lens is very good for the price it's sold at. Granted, you get what you pay for, but what you get is a very fast lens w/ good bokeh. The built-in hood is a joke and there's no f-scale, but a good shootist can still get very memorable photos with this lens. If these items are a nuisance, then go get a good B&W metal hood and one of their excellent slim line UV haze filters and learn to judge distance. It's a good portrait lens on the 7D. BTW, to those who don't know, this lens is an auto-focus lens, hence MAXXUM. Maxxum means auto-focus. Getting this lens won't disappoint you.
A gem in a small price
2005-10-04I own a former version of this lens. It is an autofocus lens and it can be used in manual focus mode. This one has a better grip on the focusing ring. This lens is built robust and the results are excellent. I keep it with me in case of serious sharpness is needed or there is not enough light to handhold.
Stopping down a few stops will give better results. I don't have the 1.4 version but the results are said to be the same after f:2.8.
autofocus?
2005-08-14Advertised as an autofocus. Product description indicates that this is a manual focus lens. Appears to be a very good and fast lense for this price even though it's probably a manual focus.

Digital cameras are good for the environment
As we consider the digital camera revolution that has taken place over the last decade, most people think about it in terms of enhanced benefits for consumers. We can take a lot more pictures at much lower cost with digital cameras versus film cameras. We can also more easily manipulate and share those photos since they're all in the digital realm.
But one thing many people don't think about actually deserves mention as potentially the most profound effect of the digital camera revolution: how digital cameras greatly reduce the destructive impact on the environment compared to film cameras.
At first, you might think, "How can that be? My film camera didn't harm the environment!" Even though it wasn't your camera that harmed the environment, your film processing did indeed harm it. Any time you take your pictures to a photo processing center, that film is run through batches of chemicals. These chemicals are environmental hazards, and once they are used to process film, those chem ...
