  • Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM

    8 out of 10 points and recommended
    Nice lightweight and non-impressive
    no hood

    This is indeed a very nice portraitlens on my 400D. Use this lens on f2.5 and further up to f11 and your results will be nice and with good contrast.
    I had to send my lens with my 400D to a service point for calibration.My copy, and three others in the shop, had focusproblems (also on a new 7D at the shop)
    After this calibration (lens is paired with camera) my pictures are very sharp and nice.
    This calibration is a well known (at least at the servicecenter) issue and is carried out under warranty.

    I am very satisfied with this level of Canonservice.

  • Sigma 20mm f/1.8 EX DG Aspherical RF

    8 out of 10 points and recommended
    very little distortion, very usefull on 1.6 crop dslr
    under f2.5 to soft, loud af-sound

    This lens is often om my 400D, it gives nice pictures with very little distortion and good contrast when used in the range f2.8 until f14.

    AF sounds weird but functions well.
