Canon EF 50 MM F 1.8 II VS Canon EF 50 MM F 1.4 USM, two fixed lenses fighting qualities

Have you ever wondered about the 50 mm fixed lens? Maybe you've never felt this lens. But where is fixed 50 mm lens which has the best picture quality? Is the price to be paid in accordance with the quality of images produced? Fixed 50 mm lens has been very popular among fans of fashion and modeling photos. This type of lens has a large aperture in the ranks of the canon fixed lens, so it can be used in low light conditions. Another attraction of this type of lens is the price is also among the most skewed among similar products fixed lens. For photographers low / medium budget, have this lens is one of a very interesting deal, because high levels of image quality can easily get and do not need to pay is too high.

Canon EF 50 MM F 1.4 USM lens is a class of consumer / professional and an f 1.4 lens berdiafragma the most affordable in price list canon. Construction of this lens uses a plastic body and metal mounting. Eight blades diaphragm and aperture f 1.4 provides the ability to create the effect of the narrow depth of field. This lens uses a front extension focusing system, where the front of the lens going back and forth when doing focus, and uses a micro motor USM. Although the use of USM, users can take advantage of full-time manual focus feature. The front of this lens also has a bayonet hood, and mounting of the filter does not rotate when the lens is joined to the focus.


Competitors is the Canon EF 50 MM F 1.8 II, which has replaced the mark I version in 1991. With 5 blades diafragme and openings large enough, this lens uses the body and the mounting entirely from plastic. Front extension focusing system also diimplementasika, and untungny the front of the lens will not rotate when focusing process, so that the circular polarizer filters can still function well on this lens. Micro motors used micro USM is certainly not expensive, but it was enough to do auto focus properly.

Olympus Zuiko 12 MM M. MSC f/2.0 ED lens, ideal width

Olympus Zuiko - Fixed lens, fixed lens length berfocal better than a zoom lens because it has a simpler optical structure. This lens promises high image sharpness. Therefore, the fixed lens has always been a photographer's dream. Only, this lens is less flexible because you are required to carry multiple lenses at once every time you do the shooting. So far, one of the constraints of micro four-third system adopted by Olympus to seize the market is the existence of multiple factor 2x on the camera. Olympus option to use a micro sensor is smaller than APS-C sensor and 35 mm (full frame) makes every lens mounted on the camera focal lengthnya must be multiplied by 2x.

In other words, a lens with focal length 14 mm when mounted on the body of the E-P3 will be equivalent to a 28 mm lens on full frame DSLR body. Obviously, this is a constraint means that when we want to use a wide angle lens. In fact, this type of lens is one of the most often we use. The presence of M. lens Zuiko 12 mm f/2.0 ED MSC is a breakthrough that very genius of Olympus to resolve the issue. The position of this lens can take turns with the super wide angle zoom lens M. Zuiko 9-18 mm f/4.0-5.6 ED who had appeared first. Berfocal single length lens is packaged in a metal body made of a sturdy and solid with a slim dimensions. Harmonious with the body E-P3 are also small.

Besides offering a very wide angle shots for micro four-third cameras, this lens also has a high speed. Suitable for shooting landscapes and low light situations. However, the potential offered by leading this lens lies in the use of ED glass and MSCnya technology. As the lens has a fixed length berfocal optic simpler, making use of ED glass lens technology is capable of producing high quality images. Evident when used in the field, the resulting image has a fairly low chromatic aberration. When done testing on the sharpness, the results are very satisfactory. At f/2.0, the sharpness in the center of the frame image is fairly high with a slight decrease in sharpness at the edges. At f/2.2 to f/3.5 slightly decreased image.

Panasonic Lumix Lens 3D | Lumix 12,5 MM F/12 3D G LENS

Panasonic Lumix Lens 3D 12,5 MM - 3D Era can be enjoyed on the big screen and home theater. And Panasonic does not seem half to become a major player in this technology. With the release of 3D VIERA TV, featuring a 3D movie at home now it's not unusual anymore when met at the home of audio visual enthusiast. What about photographs? Challenges and even then missed with 3D lens for Lumix. 3D Lumix lens is actually composed of two lenses, but still only uses a camera image sensor only. Then the camera will break down the image sensor to produce an image of each lens so that the final image can be displayed as 3D.

This lens is a type of prime, so there is no zoom and fixed focal length at 12.5 mm. This figure is equivalent to 65 mm on full frame lens, so that taking pictures with this lens needed a considerable distance if you want to take a wide angle. Aperture also remain locked at f/12, and no manual focus. Panasonic explains that the great depths of space is needed to produce 3D images, so the resulting image would produce a better perception of space. However, aperture f/12 is certainly a serious problem that the incoming light must be quite a lot, so need to use flash. If you want to take pictures indoors without flash, of course, low shutter speed and a tripod is necessary. And consequently, may not capture the fast action clearly without the risk of image blur. This lens also can not be used for video recording.

When we use the 3D glasses from the package Vierra, the results were astonishing. The resulting image is very sharp and the TV seemed to turn into a window with objects in it. MPO extension is also possible to run on a PC program, so it can be enjoyed also by the owners of the monitor, video card and 3D glasses. Unfortunately, although extensions of this MPO is standard 3D formats, file types are not suited to most home theater on the market. So you can not directly to the hard drive or storage mengcopinya home theater to enjoy 3D images from this lens.
