50mm 1.2L + 24mm 1.4L on crop body?
sandymandy:
Hi there,
sorry for opening up another thread about the 50mm 1.2L. I searched around a little and didnt find the answer i was looking for.
I got a Rebel body cuz my philosophy always was that one day i will go full frame anyway so i better buy good lenses first, body second. I bought the 1100D cuz it delivers the same image quality like the other crop bodys from canon and thats all what i care for.
So far i just got a 50mm 1.8II and im quite happy with it but i think the bokeh looks really harsh. I never use it smaller than f/2.8.
I was thinking about buying the 50mm 1.2L and i wanna know if that works out on a crop body or if the 1.2L only starts to shine on full frame?
Same applies to the 24mm 1.4L. Makes sense to buy it for my crop body? I like the wider view i can get from it. I dont need a really super wide lens cuz im just doing portraits. And im just a bokeh addict :P
Oh and i just dont like zooms. I dont know why....even when i was just using a Finepix point and shoot and had no ideas about rule of thirds n stuff.....i always refused to use the zoom on it. Just dont like it.
So my basic question: L Lenses make sense on a crop body?
p.s.
i dont mind it probably gonna balance out badly with the 1100D. Im just a hobbyist. Dont HAVE TO carry my camera all day. Well and im not so weak :P
Hope somebody here got a crop body and the named lenses and can give me some more insight. :)
Maybe even sample pictures?! Would be much appreciated.

Yes, L lenses make sense on a crop body. What you get is better IQ, build quality, consistent AF, and weather resistence, but it costs you money, size and weight.
I've used the 50L and 24L II on my crop body and FF, and they work great. Increased control over DOF/OOF blur is big reason why people choose prime over zooms. That said, the DOF/OOF gets a bigger effect when you move to full frame, but lenses retain their value much better than bodies.

You should look closer to EF 35mm L 1.4
Excellent lens!

a 1100D with 24Lii and 50L may be overkill for the prinzip of bigger importance on good glas.
With about the same budget you could buy a 5D2 + 35 2.0 + 85 1.8 and keep the 50 1.8
This gives you the same perspective, similar shallow DoF and the same light gattering possibility. The %d2 has a much better ISO performance, so cou can shoot one stop more ISO with same noise

Well i would just buy one lens first. Im not rich like that . At the moment i cant even afford one but i just wanna know for the future. 35mm 1.4L hmmmmmmmm
