lens too fast ??
Hi,
I have already a 7D and I use my old nikon primes on it. Now I will be buying another 7D and maybe with original canon lenses. Everybody is saying the best is the 1.2, but do you film a lot on f1,2 ? I do a lot of wedding reports and sometimes f1,4 is already too shallow. Which lens do you suggest ? The f1,2 is too expensive, so what do you think about the 50mm f1.8 ? Is that a good alternative ? |
I was close to buying the Canon 50mm f1.2 but decided to settle on the 50mm f1.4 instead. I was using a friends f1.8 which was ok but the 1.4 was the one for me. The 1.2 got such bad reviews, it was a no brainer (for me).

I would have to say, go for the 1.4, you will have over all happiness with that one, the 1.8 has its moments and the 1.4 is at a reasonable price too

Hello Bart, could you tell us what adaptor are you using for your nikon lenses? and how do they work on the 7D?
Thanks |
Hey Manuel,
I have the adapter from Cinevate (Cinevate: DSLR Rigs, Camera Sliders, Follow Focus and More). It's kinda cheap and I think it's good value for money. |
Get the Sigma 30mm 1.4 or even better, the Canon 24mm 1.4.
1.4 is almost a full stop faster than 1.8 and with a wider lens, your DOF won't be as shallow. Here's a great online resource for calculating the DOF for any camera or lens combination: Online Depth of Field Calculator |

The difference between 1.8 and 1.4 is 2/3 of a stop. Do you disagree with that?

I've seen your posts around, Perrone, and I know you're a knowledgeable guy. You had me second guessing myself. :)
So, to reiterate, Bart: Get something fast and wide. And yes, there's a big difference between 1.8 and 1.4. At 1.4, 67% more light is reaching the sensor. |
