I own the 50mm f1.4. Although it's just on my humble A100 but it's still a really really good lens.

Btw I'm new here.. hi people!

This was taken with my 50mm F1.4 at 1/100, F5.0. The detail is excellent from at least 2-3 stops down!

Ah, I forgot to include a 100% crop.

The picture just now was the entire thing. A 100% crop from the center of the image would look like the following. The detail is brilliant, and the sharpness drop-off towards the sides is very acceptable.

Go get it, guys and thanks for the compliments!



Weigie, stopping down the aperture by 2-3 stops means that you shoot at around F2 and smaller. Since F1.4 is the lens' largest aperture, shooting at F1.4 will make ur images slightly soft, then at F1.7 (one stop down) it will improve, at F2 (two stops down) things sharpen up, and so on. Most prime lenses sharpen up abt 2-3 stops down (smaller) than their maximum aperture.

Ahaha, thanks bro. I seem to have been under the wrong impression for years!

Got mine at 1100 brand new. 700 is a steal, dude. If buying 2nd hand dun forget the lens hood.

Wow, 11mm is really wide. Is F4.5 wide open for that lens?

Nice lens! Put up some pics from that 2% used and poison some people with it, might make ur sale easier

If after formatting you still have the same problem I say the virus probably lompat to your PC already. Huhu, I dun think there is any virus which can affect the camera?

Lol flying bird would be better I agree

wahaha stalking snakehead kaa... u know nice place is it?

I wonder is it possible to 'pan-zoom' where instead of panning side to side u actually zoom in or zoom out slightly with ur lens while shooting?
