Distance scale on the Canon EF 50mm 1.8 MKII
The Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 MKII Lens is probabely one of the sharpest lenses available and for less than $80 it is really hard to beat quality/price combo.
However the two most critisized aspect of the new Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 MKII1 over the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 MKI2 are its built quality, plastic mount v/s metal mount, and that the MKII’s lack of focusing distance scales.
Although there is not much we can do about the built quality of the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 MKII, but we sure can make our own distance scales for it.
