Well the 35 1.8G is unique it its own way, less bokeh but still special

Both shot with the 35 1.8G of course.

In crop, the focal length should be multiplied by a factor of 1.5x. 35mm is effectively 52.5mm on DX and 50mm is 75mm effective. At the same aperture ratio, the 50mm will product more bokeh with less depth of field with its longer focal.

Random capture in food court

Thanks, but no, I'm on FX. Shot with DX for over a year. While on the DX I opted for 35mm because its more versatile as a one lens set up, group shots?

Shape of bokeh depends on the angle of light entering the lens(I think its also because I'm shooting a DX lens on a FX camera, it gets less and less round as it nears the corners), with the 50mm you will notice less less-than-round bokeh because the focal is longer thus limiting the field of view. But whether or not the bokeh is nice is pretty subjective

Do you mean too close or too far from the subject? I would rather crop the photo than miss things with slight longer focal length.

The 50mm 1.8D do not have rounded blades like the 35mm 1.8G. So when the 50mm 1.8D stops down a little it will show hexagonal bokeh instead of round ones. Usually G lenses have better smoother bokeh.


Usually when wide open even with normal blades bokeh balls would still be round to a certain extend, if not mistaken

They say the Sigma is faster and more accurate too. You can YouTube for Tamron/Sigma side by side focus speed test

You should test them out before buying but on DX I would recommend the 35 1.8G over the 50 1.8D.

Nice shots! So clean and sharp

Some flower shots I did back in August



Can consider this as flower shot as well?

Lens size?

Give them a friendly PM, if they don't reply in a given frame time. Report the photo.

Oh nice, very informative!

The upper spine is out of the focused dof(depth of field) liao. You have to stop down a little to get it sharp or back up a bit.

Just zoom out a little bit or something.

Perhaps more dark and constrasty?

Something like this right?

The clouds weren't really visible so I just bumped up the Shadows.
