Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 Mark 1 - The Original - lens review with samples (Full-frame and APS-C)

A lens that is little-known, yet still quite popular on eBay, even fetching higher prices than the Mark 2 version. This is the original Canon 50mm lens that came out when the EOS camera system first came out. How does it stack up against the two newer versions of the lens?

In case anyone is wondering, my Canon 70D had to be sold! I'm getting married (in only 2 months now!) and saving up for the wedding/ honeymoon. :-)

All pictures and footage shot by me on Canon 6D and 60D cameras.
