Canon EF 50mm f/1.2L USM спустя почти 20 лет. Почему я до сих пор его не продал

In 2006, Canon introduced the EF 50mm f/1.2L USM. Several camera generations have come and gone since then. SLR systems have given way to mirrorless systems. New lenses, new technologies, and new image quality standards have emerged. But this lens still lingers in photographers' bags and continues to stir controversy. In this video, I won't be measuring sharpness using test charts or comparing graphs. This is the story of a lens that has been with me for many years. A story about why some things survive the ages, while others disappear along with them. We'll stroll through Moscow, look at photographs, discuss the character of the Canon EF 50mm f/1.2L USM, and try to understand why, after almost twenty years, this lens still remains relevant for many photographers. Enjoy watching. ________________________________________________________ Lens info for tech geeks: Canon EF 50mm f/1.2L USM Specifications Announcement year: 2006 Mount: Canon EF Format: Full Frame (APS-C compatible) Focal length: 50 mm Maximum aperture: f/1.2 Minimum aperture: f/16 Construction: 8 elements in 6 groups Aspherical elements: 1 Aperture blades: 8 (rounded) Minimum focusing distance: 0.45 m Maximum magnification: 0.15× AF drive: Ring-type USM Full-time manual focus override (FTM): yes Internal focusing: yes Filter thread diameter: 72 mm Dust and dust resistant Weatherproof: Yes (when using a protective filter on the front lens) Dimensions: 85.8 x 65.5 mm Weight: 580 g Hood: ES-78 Case: LP1214 Country of manufacture (on most units): Japan ⸻ Interesting Facts One of Canon's fastest autofocus EF lenses. A direct successor to the legendary Canon EF 50mm f/1.0L USM from 1989. At the time of its release, it was Canon's flagship 50mm f/1.2L USM. Produced without significant changes for almost twenty years. After the introduction of the RF 50mm f/1.2L USM, it remained in production for several more years alongside the mirrorless system. Known for its characteristic spherochromatic aberration and focus shift on DSLR cameras, which has caused controversy for decades. * On modern Canon EOS R series cameras, most focusing accuracy issues have virtually disappeared thanks to sensor-based focusing. _________________________________ TG channel: https://t.me/photonomicon Website: https://steelvision.space
