dun want to invest too much now... is f1.8 enough now? can show me some sample pic? anyone

I can only get a f1.4 as an example... iinm, f1.2 is 1.5inch in diameter.

i think no much different too. can pls show me 1.4 example?

it really depends on what you want out of your shots.

to you it may be little difference, but to people who have specific requirements to meet in their shots that little difference could mean a lot.

if it is like minor difference... i have dun think i can see the difference lor~

i think 1.8 is enough for a newbie...anyways...the price difference between 1.4 and 1.8 is almost 1k difference...not to even mention 1.2, 1.8 is pretty affordable now, i think on FTZ...u can probably get it around 250 to 300...

oh~ 1.8 can take sharp portrait indoor? i will be much better than my kit lens?

That's what everyone has been telling you. you want a cheap portrait lens, 50mmf1.8 is your best bet.

Thanks to all ....!!!

one more question before i took off to grab it...

what is the fair price ? 280-300? anything more than that means the shop owner try to con me?

2nd, this lens is main for "front clear back blur" purpose hia? taking human potraits?

3rd, CAN ANYONE PLEASE SHOW ME A SAMPLE PHOTOs!!!

Sample pics

eh. 1 more question but end up so many question.

and you're a funny dude, asking around for price and all and even almost deciding to grab it THEN only ask for sample pics?

normally you should be looking around for various lens available in your budget range for your purpose, after identifying it you should browse around for sample shots.

either that or browse around for sample shots first, then find out what lens they use and see the price and quite often this way you will come by more lens beyond your budget.

man, why don't you play around with your kit-lens more first.



eh fren, just because people charge higher that doesn't mean they're attempting to CON you.

diff shops have diff operating cost and they can decide how they want to price it. it's FAIR.




ok wait. so now you're asking the purpose of the lens again?

anyway look at my shots
http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/442027

object clear, background blur. what lens? 70-300mm zoom lens.

i can show you that effect from my Prosumer and my DSLR on 18-55mm kit lens as well.

so yeah, it's up to you on how to use your lens to achieve that effect.

Found your samples of f1.4 and f1.8 pics?

i thought he just wanted samples from the EF 50mm f1.8.

lookie above

i just refer to post #29. the rest is confusion to me. haha. nmind.

to what i understood so far he only wanted pics for 50mm f1.8 and now he got it already.

nmind i'm a confused soul today.

no need sample, the lens doesn't cost much..buy and use it...if don't like..sell it...
