Digital Camera Reviews and Ratings By manufacturer:
Canon | Casio | Fuji | HP | Kodak | Minolta | Nikon | Olympus | Panasonic | Pentax | Samsung | Sony | Misc. | Accessories | Lenses
I recently read a copy of Digital Photo Magazine which had a feature comparing 50mm portrait lenses from different manufacturers.
Here is how they ranked the 50mm lenses that they reviewed:
The Nikon 50mm f/1.8D won over the Canon EF 50mm f/1.2L USM for 'value for money' (the Nikon is a tenth of the price) but the Canon beat the Nikon on both 'features and build' and 'image quality'.
Of course all but the Sigma lens can only really be used on certain brands of cameras so comparing Canons with Nikons isn't really going to help anyone decide which lens to get!
PS: For Canon lovers - there's also a Canon EF 50mm f1.4 USM lens in their range which is a great compromise if you're looking for a higher quality and faster lens than the f/1.8 but can't afford the hefty price tag of the f/1.2. I own both the f/1.8 and the f/1.4 and while the f/1.8 is brilliant for it's price the f/1.4 is one of my favorite lenses and is always in my camera bag.
