hmmm, getting pretty quiet tonight...
see if anyone you know has that lens, try it out and see which one u prefer. cross reference that knowledge with what u like to shoot more. that should help u more or less

I've read the region (generalization) for portraiture. 50mm on cropped sensor would be tight and suited best for shoulder / head shot while the 85mm would be better for half body shoot. But then there's the 30mm where on a cropped body it is similar to 50mm (saw the calculation somewhere). But now most of them suggests to grab both (50 or 30) and 85. sweat.gif . The moolah is there but need to make sure its worth it.

Fisheye on the other hand is a fun lens laugh.gif

I see. There's an article i stumbled that describes what are the better purpose of the types of prime.

urgg, u are a little misleading my brother.... but that generalization is bad. but u can apply to ur own ideal not everyone will follow.

i use F4 up to F8 on my 50mm for portraiture, half body, headshot and full body. i will do the same with i have 85, but 85 will increase the shallow-ness of the DOF

I see. Thanks for correcting that. The different focus prime also have different mfd right?

The difference between cross x and normal ones is the build right? One is metal the other one would be plasticky.

In these cases, i wouldn't blame any brands.. Its nearly always 90% user's error. As the chinese saying goes 'coz u constipate, u go and blame the ground for being hard'

Naruto, sad to say, i agree with her.. Thats why i commented on it.


Added on May 24, 2010, 11:41 amthe reason i like on sony compared to others is coz of its DRO and SSS. Apart from that, setting wise, its all user changeable and if all else fails, there's always PP in hand.

No problem.I'll try to de-saturate it. Thanks for the cnc.
