Great images and build and dof
None

Very surprised at this Len s it’s build quality , results and dof .. this is as good as or better than the ef50mm 1.8m.. can see any negatives. , of course their is the normal imperfections in the images , but., That is why we are buying them surely , that will be expected from a lens this old but other than this , nothing else can be faulted ..

This lens takes a 52mm filter, not a 55mm.

Sharp and contrasty
Heavy as a tank

A great lens. Great optics, great results, but in a heavy weight body. No matter, I still consider its heavy build of a great quality.

Note that:

1. It has a 55mm filter diam as stated.

2. In cameras like Canon F-1N you will not be able to see the aperture value in your viewfinder (you need the FDn for that).
