Brand New Canon 50mm F/1.8 ll

[bluescope]

Hi All

I am selling this brand new, never used Canon 50mm F/1.8 ll lens in original box for $100 plus postage ( only weighs 130g plus box so wouldn't cost much ) to Australian members only.

Private message me please !

I ended up with 2 of these lenses when one that I had purchased online did not arrive in time for my daughter's wedding. It is still in the box. I use the other one and find it to be an excellent, light weight, fast standard lens.

The attached image was taken with the 50mm F/1.8 ll lens that I now use.




Canon info : This is the lightest EF lens of all at a mere 130g. Compact and high-performance, standard lens. Its Gaussian optics provide sharp delineation from near to far focusing distances. The color balance is excellent for a standard lens.

Diagonal Angle of View: 46°
Lens Construction (elements/groups): 6/5
No. of Diaphragm blades: 5
Minimum Aperture: 22
Closest Focusing Distance (m): 0.45
Maximum Magnification (x): 0.15
AF Actuator: MM
Filter Diameter (mm): 52

These are a fantastic portrait and nice fast indoor (with no flash) lens. I leave mine on the 450D all the time now for snapping the kids. Best $120 bucks I've spent for a long time. Less need for flash means very natural colour (unless you already have decent flash gear I guess)

(Must get it out under the stars......)

The thing I also like about a fast lens is the ability to throw the background/foreground of an image out of focus to draw the eye to the subject as I have done in the attached images taken with my 50mm 1.8 ll ... and ofcourse handheld low light shots as in the last shot in this set. A fast lens gives you greater control of depth of field in your images.

If nobody is interested in this lens by the end of this coming weekend I will be removing it from listings on Monday 10th.
