MonElite Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 I love love love this pic of Divani. I now want that lense too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripley Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 You can get it for under $150, monelite. I think I paid $115 last year for mine. Here is another shot I took with it, indoors using natural window light when I didn't know what settings to use (yes I have to clone out the white wall but this is just to show you how sharp it is) 50mm, Aperture 7.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripley Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 This was a test shot when I first got it last year. Natural light, indoors, no flash 50mm @ 1.8 - subject is moving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripley Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 (edited) I think I took this with the 50mm as well. It's a fantastic little lens. ETA: Subject: A peacock and peahen in Blair Castle Grounds, Pitlochry, Scotland. They look quite Royal don't they? I'm editing my holiday snaps today.

Ashanali Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 http://www.shopbot.com.au/p-32489.html $119 is the cheapest. Although I give a HUGE thumbs up to camerasdirect.com.au I just got my 50mm 1.4 lens from them. Ordered it on Monday and had it on Tuesday morning.

Although I give a HUGE thumbs up to camerasdirect.com.au I just got my 50mm 1.4 lens from them. Ordered it on Monday and had it on Tuesday morning. was that shopbot mob the ones you got the refund from? I'd be wary of them if that's the case. I've had a read up of the lens. it sounds really cheap, plasticky. May I ask how much your 1.4 cost. There seems to be a huge price difference from what I've seen. Is there so much of a difference in quality and ability? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke W Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Krislin.. Notice how the first has a smaller DOF than the second yet both were shot at f/3.5. DOF is not just related to aperture (aka fstop), it's also related to focus distance. All other things being equal, same focal length, same aperture, the closer the subject is, the smaller the DOF.
