I bought this lense before I know much about photography. It was good to use on understand the angle differences. Pictures are okay, but after I have purchased the canon 50mm f/1.4 I have put my 20-80mm back to the original box ever since.

Go with f/1.4.

 

I had a while already, it's my favoriate lense.

hi Philip,

 

Initially I bough 2 canon room lenses, the 28-70mm and 75-300mm usm III (both silver ring) from the ritzcamera. I used it for about 6 months then I bought canon 50mm f/1.4. Then I soon found out that 50mm f/1.4 gives much better pictures. So now I would like only to shoot on primes. But I think that I am losing my point now. Before I bought 50mm f/1.4, I did a lot of reading as comparing 50mm f/1.4 to 50mm f/1.8. As from my reading, I think that 50mm f/1.4 is a better buy even though it's more expensive. I have 50mm f/1.4 for about 1 year now, and I bascailly use it for everything now because it gives much much better pictures than my other 2 room lenses, and also because I can't afford to get any more new lences right now. By the way, I shoot with elan 7e, I don't know it it would make much different with 20D besides 1.4x ? factor on lenses. By the way, go with L lenses if you have much money to spend (i think it pays off in the long run), and get a decent tripod.

 

Happy shopping !

 

Cheers
