Photo Forum / Film Photography / 35 mm / November 2005Canon 50MM f1.8 VS Nikon 50MM f1.8 ?

How about some more info, such as Canon EF 50 1.8 II USM vs............... that kind of thing or are you talking FD vs AI? or............... > netkiller wrote: > Canon 50MM f1.8 VS Nikon 50MM f1.8 ? What about them? The Canon is a very fine lens, as I'm sure the Nikon is, too, though I'm not familiar with it. These basic lenses tend to be time-tested and very worthy, especially at their price.

Absolutely nothing. Why didn't you ask Polson the same question when he posted his backhand insult to Sander?

With your regular "anybody who doesn't agree with me on all matters bokeh is either dumb, deranged or lacking in taste" droning you are making a really nice impression of getting paid to dis particular brands of lens in a <quote>but do it in a smart way, dontcherknow</quote> particular way. SignatureSander +++ Out of cheese error +++ >> >Its a question of taste. >> [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > brands of lens in a <quote>but do it in a smart way, dontcherknow</quote> > particular way. It's a fact that neither Nikon nor Canon could care two whits about bokeh, where some other lens manufacturers do. So, it's matter of taste as to whether you care about these qualities or not, but their presence or lack thereof is irrefutable. Still, I like my nikon 50 1.8. If you separate your subject from the background and try to ensure no small light sources in the background, the bokeh's just fine. SignatureRegards, Matt Clara www.mattclara.com they both suck. > Canon 50MM f1.8 VS Nikon 50MM f1.8 ? > they both suck. > > > Canon 50MM f1.8 VS Nikon 50MM f1.8 ? No, the photographer sucks. > they both suck. Your opinion was reached in what manner? If you've gotten less than stellar results with either, and the lens of you choice was attached to the proper camera, then you should look to yourself as the problem. SignatureSkip Middleton http://www.shadowcatcherimagery.com Please restrict your comments to subjects you know something about. I own both lenses and neither "sucks". Both are fine normal primes and should give exemplary results used with proper technique. Doug > they both suck. > >> Canon 50MM f1.8 VS Nikon 50MM f1.8 ? > Canon 50MM f1.8 VS Nikon 50MM f1.8 ? Have not used either. Being of the Nikon persuasion, I choose the 50mm f/1.4 AFD Nikkor. I have no complaints. It does what I got it for. A lens for use in low lighting conditions or when a small lens is needed. I find the f/1.4 to give sharp contrasty images. I have read reports and viewed sample photos shot with the f/1.8 though. You may even be able to find some comparisons on the web if you searched some. Get the one which fits the system you own and shoot with it. The f/1.8s are reported to be a bargain and a good performer. > Canon 50MM f1.8 VS Nikon 50MM f1.8 ? I know nothing about these lenses, but isn't it said that Canon lenses are generally higher resolution, softer, less contrasty and less saturated, whereas the Nikon lenses are sharper, more contrasty and more colourful? Stereotyping loads, but would be interesting to hear if it's true. Duncan. although it's a bit outdated duncan check out photodo.com - both of the lenses on this thread are outstanding. even though i'm a nikon fan (and a relative newbie) i've no doubt that canon lenses are overall neck and neck with nikkors. both companies make a few cheap turkeys and both have among the very best available - with the average leaning towards the high quality end of the scale. ras >Canon 50MM f1.8 VS Nikon 50MM f1.8 ? The Canon lens wins easily on my 20D, Totally Digital D60, and Fabulous EOS-1V. The Nikon lens? Hell, it won't even work! > >Canon 50MM f1.8 VS Nikon 50MM f1.8 ? > > The Canon lens wins easily on my 20D, Totally Digital D60, and Fabulous > EOS-1V. > The Nikon lens? Hell, it won't even work! Yes it will. Stephen Gandy, Novoflex, Fotodiox and the like can help with that. Martin |
