Which 50mm lens for T1i?
May 27, 2012
I'm winding down in my search for the best option of a Canon 50mm lens for use on my T1i. So here are the contenders:
50 1.8 II
50 1.4 USM
50 2.5 Compact Macro
Now here are the points of concern.
1) Overall best IQ for general purposes
2) Short minimal focusing distance (for floral blooms and such)
3) Best widest aperture(which lens, if any, is more reliable wide open?)
So, in your estimation, which of these 3 comes CLOSEST to handling all 3 points the best?
If, for example, the 2.5 C.M. lens is as good at 2.5 as the others are at their respective 2.8s (or even f2s), that one might be the best option. It would score on all 3 points. Just an example.
Thanks
