Owner reviews: Canon FDn 50 mm f/ 1.8

Period of use: 35 year

Strengths:

It's fast, easy to use and a good middle-wide angle lens.


Weaknesses:

The aperture ring is a little stiff


Comments:

Worth it's price

Period of use: 60 months

Strengths:

Good contrast, light lens, quite cheap. Much better on FF than APS-C.


Weaknesses:

One of the worst fast 50s overall on APS-C. The usual plastic FDn build.


Comments:

A lot of people like this lens because it is very cheap and balances well on small cameras. However, IQ is definitely inferior to, for example, the comparably cheap Minolta 50mm f/1.7 versions. Still can recommend it for FF.
