Some glass – a comparison

© copyrighted image; all rights reserved.

 

Size comparison between the EF 50mm f/1.8 II, EF 50mm f/1.4 USM and EF 85mm f/1.8 USM

 

As I had set everything up for this shot, I wanted to do a size comparison between the the 50mm:s and the 85mm lens.

 

The 50 1.4 and 85 1.8 has quite similar build quality, but as you can see the 85 1.8, even though it is 2/3 f-stop slower, has a lot more glass.

 

Must be seen large!

 

Strobist information:

Two Canon Speedlite 430EX used in a Lastolite Ezybox Hotshoe (60cm) soft box each. One camera right and a little bit higher as fill, and the other camera left. I was moving around the camera right soft box until I had the right light in the lenses. Everything triggered by Elinchrom Skyports.
