with inspiration from some of the great photojournalists we’ve been studying in the masters program, i’ve invested in some nice fixed lenses by canon. as opposed to zoom lenses, i have less flexibility in changing the composition in one location; but i gain a consistent view, an expected result, and tack-sharp images with a beautiful bokeh.
here is a recent shot on the college abroad assignment with my standard 50mm on f/1.2
and here’s one with my fixed wide angle 24mm on f/1.4
dude, how are you finding the 50mm? I was thinking of investing but I have the 1.4 version which I have been very happy with so think I am being a bit crazy to think of spending that kinda cash.
i’m really loving the 50mm f/1.2. I had the f/1.4 before and i definitely do notice a difference. i’m not sure if the price difference is worth it but it has a beautiful bokeh, tack sharp images, fast focusing, and great way of collecting the color and light.
