From the lens product perspective, you get what you pay for, but red-circle lenses that cost tens of thousands or more or twenty thousand are indeed not something ordinary people can afford. A few lenses cost a car. Who doesn’t feel sorry for it!
So, are there any cheap and good shots to choose from?
To be honest, if you want a low price and a big bowl, this does not exist in the photography equipment industry. However, some lenses have some functions omitted in some aspects, but the image quality has not been greatly reduced, and there are even some surprises. Let’s take a look at some cost-effective Canon prime lenses.
ef135mm F2
135L is the most cost-effective fixed-focus lens in Canon, no one.
ef135L
This lens has been launched for a long time and is very affordable. A red circle fixed-focus lens can be described as sharp in focus and soft outside focus. It is better than the ef70-200 image quality. The focus speed can only be described as the first echelon in the ef lens, which is very fast, and also has a large aperture of f2, which is very good to use as a whole. This is also a shot that I like very much personally. The focal length of
135mm is not very wide. The types of subjects that can be photographed are not very wide, and portrait shooting is the best subject. Especially when taking full-body portraits, most of them, this lens can be used with full aperture. The f2 inside the focus is already very sharp, and the outside of the focus can create a very dreamy background blur, while taking into account some environmental explanation elements. This lens can also take photos of documentary subjects. When maintaining a certain distance from the subject, it reflects the environment and is relatively prominent for the subject. In addition, the scenery is not impossible to take pictures. The sharpness is very good after the aperture is reduced. There is no problem in taking pictures of other scenery in small scenes.
In the era of SLR, I used this lens, which was lightweight and had good picture quality. Because of this lens, I no longer need a behemoth like 70-200, and I use it for taking photos and videos. The disadvantage of this lens is that it has no anti-shake, which is also the reason why it is cheap, but it is enough to add a little shutter speed to take photos, and you have to use a tripod for videos, so I don’t think this is a problem. In the era of mirrorless micro single, I was still using this lens, and with the mirrorless body anti-shake, its advantages were further magnified. Even if adapter ring is added, it will not look heavy and stupid overall, and it is very suitable for shooting outside.
RF35mm f1.8
Full-frame microscope just launched, Canon launched the RF35mm f1.8 lens.
RF35mm f1.8
This lens is generally light, has a large aperture of f1.8, has a relatively small volume and weight, and has a certain macro function. It is the cheaper type of small fixed-focus lens in Canon's full-frame reflection-free system. Many friends gave up the bulky f1.4 version of 35mm fixed-focus to replace this, and I personally gave up the Sigma art35mm to replace this.
This lens is a relatively balanced lens, and it is not a type that highlights a certain characteristic. Its image quality is not as high as the top one, after all, it is positioned here. I personally think that compared with Sigma 35mm, its out-of-focus cannot be compared, but its sharpness is comparable. From the perspective of color, it is average and has no color atmosphere with a red circle lens, but it is better than an ordinary dog head. Its characteristic is that it comes with IS anti-shake and a little bit of macro performance. In this way, the price of more than 3,000 is very valuable.
Some camera friends think it focuses slowly. After a long period of use, I found that its focus is not slow. It only slows down in the process of turning from close focus to long-distance focus. Because it has a little macro function, the focus distance is relatively close recently. When it goes from macro mode to normal mode, there will be a relatively long focus stroke, so it seems slow. If this is not the case, the focus will not be full at all and will not pull the bellows. The body I use is still the most basic RP.
If you like a fixed-focus lens and also have a Canon full-frame micro-single, this lens is completely selectable and has a wide range of shooting ranges, because 35mm is a humanistic documentary perspective. In addition to the zoom lens, 35mm is the most widely used in the fixed-focus lens, and it also has a large aperture, anti-shake, and macro, which is cheap.
Various small spittoons
Canon's 50mm f1.8 standard lens is called small spittoon by photographers. Because its shape is concave in the middle, it is called this. From the first generation of the small spittoon of the ef version, to the final version of the ef version, to the RF mount version, the small spittoon has always been characterized by low-price, portable and easy to use, and has been praised by many photographers.
50mm lens, I personally think that you either choose the top flagship f1.2 or the lowest-end f1.8. Because this lens is a must-have, it does not take up any space and is quite useful when used. It has a large aperture, no distortion, human eye perspective, etc., which are very suitable for shooting of various subjects. The price is less than a thousand yuan, which is considered a cost-effective lens.
What other Canon cost-effective lenses do you think are worth recommending?
