No New 50mm Lens Coming in 2017 [CR2]

[Loswr]

The 50L definitely needs an update asap. Among the modern lenses, it's just a prehistoric dinosaur right now. The 50 art is leaps and bounds ahead sharpness wise. Buying this lens at that price is just a complete rip off.

I didn't know sharpness was the most important characteristic of a lens. I'm so glad you're here to educate all of us on what aspects of image quality we should find most important. I guess we've foolishly thought that things like bokeh and color rendering matter. Thanks for setting us straight!

Not that sharpness is unimportant, but some people treat it as the sole criterion for evaluating lens performance, probably because reducing a complex set of objective and subjective parameters to a simple, uncomplicated number makes it easier for simple, uncomplicated minds to grasp.

It's always nice to see delusional people who are extreme fanboys too people like you are an asset to a company like canon who's moto is to move like Turtle and milk customers as long as they can. And Nah... Some people can't ever be educated

I just mentioned sharpness for sake of argument. Here it's for you: horrible CA, slow AF, inaccurate AF, curved focus plane needs to be fixed in that prehistoric garbage lens as well. Hope you are happy now I guess all those garbage aspects of this lens makes an image artistic for you

Hard to be unhappy with such logic as yours. The 50L has inaccurate AF? Don't hear that too often...but you were praising the Sigma 50 Art, which has a reputation for stellar AF accuracy.

Curved focus plane? When you figure out the difference between field curvature and focus shift, by all means let me know, mmmmkay? :

Yep...these days...everyone is a lens critique and a lens design expert. Unfortunately...not many happen to be photographic experts though....

Which ones on the instagram page have been disastrously destroyed by the horrible 50 1.2?
I can't spot them.

Since when have photographic experts been using Instagram to showcase their work? I thought it was for your daily meal and 11 year old boys.

Portfolio on instagram, contract discussions on snapchat. Where've you been?

LOL! Why it matters where my portfolio is???!! Look at the work not which site it is at lmao! Btw, if that matters, search Crafter's Imagework on 500px, flickr, facebook, google, tumblr lol (whichever gives you the feel of elitisam lamo).

Just to add, I am a professional wedding photographer and covered 28 weddings this year. 6 (yes SIX) of them were from instagram. And god knows how many portrait session I booked through social media. Maybe prehistoric old gents like you are not familiar with new marketing tools good for me. I will gladly take those bookings each year lamo.

Although, you just showed how incredibly naive and clueless you are by commenting about that instagram thing lol.

None of these were taken with 50L. I owned 50L till 2014 and sold it as soon as 50 Art came out. One of the best decision of my life

Just to add, I wasn't being facetious. Instagram is quite a popular platform.

I see one every time I look in the mirror, thanks.

My point is that it makes sense to use the communication tools that your clients natively use. You seem to understand that, based on you choosing to host a portfolio on instagram. However, either your comprehension of the English language is poor, or you're just an ass (not that those are mutually exclusive).

Times have certainly changed....

"digital photography is a fad and will never replace film"
"someday there will be a phone in every city"
"there will be a Telidon (pre-web and HTML) terminal in every library"

and our behaviour has changed too. If your market is on Facebook and/or snapchat, why not your portfolio?

 

[Loswr]

Exactly. Times have definitely changed from a technology standpoint. What hasn't changed is some people's rude behavior...but that's going to be around as long as humanity.

 

[Daniel Flather]

The lens in the post, is that the 50 1.0? It has a focus limiter on it.

I was going to comment, but instead I'll let this last statement stand on its own.

Are you looking at the mirror again? lol! Read the previous comments and see who was rude. Who was calling people 'ass'! I wish this forum had a way to block rude and mental people like you.

There is a way to block whoever you want. Perhaps you're smart enough to figure it out. You can also delete your account, if you choose. By the way, who called who naive and clueless because they failed to understand a simple comment and made an incorrect ASSumption about it? Yeah, that's what I thought.

I guess your clientele has a high tolerance for rudeness, or perhaps you are just able to mask your personality sufficiently to conduct business.

You are a special thing lol! You started this thing by your pinching comment. Remember the comment bellow? Next time keep your craps within yourself. And yes I'm educated. Possibily more than you I'm an electrical engineer and a Dr. (not the kind who can help you tho lol). And why would I delete my account?! If you step on poop, do you cut your own leg?! lol

Anyways, I'm done with this. I wont be reading your commment again. So keep writing as much as you want

The above is like the forum equivalent of watching someone become so agitated that spittle flies from their foaming mouth as they rant. How sad.

Yes, it's an image CRguy used in his review.
