Canon Prime lens 50 mm f 1.2 or 1.4 which is best to suit Canon 450 D EOS + flash 580 Ex ii to get sharp pic?

Answer 1

Both lens could achieve a sharp picture on your EOS 450D provides you are setting the F-number to F8 or F9 for best results.

But if you are taking protraits, the situation is the opposite because a 50mm lens on your camera is about 80mm ( 35mm format) which have a shallower depth of view provided your f-number is F1.4 or F1.2 at a near distance.

If money is not a limiting factor, go for EF 50mm F1.2L USM to obtain the best of the best from Canon lenses.
