GAS talk

Actually, there is one place it's worth it compared to the 50 1.2, and that is to say that my lens is bigger than your lens.

[Mr Wonder]

Nailed it! You're getting predictable

I hope you get some good use out of it. Everything I've seen says the 1.2 is by far the better lens but I'd be interested to see what you make of it.

Come on Jason. Anyone with a spare grand laying around can go to Amazon and order up a 50mm 1.2. I said rare.

Heh.

I probably have the biggest lens here...500mm f4 AI-P

[Jason]

And here I am, almost exclusively shooting with a $25 Fujian 35mm f/1.7*

(at least for my model shoots anyways)

[Rikadyn]

Oh I have never used it, it's a hand down from my dad, who also never used it...

[Kchrpm]

And I'm just excited about my new smartphone's camera.

[Sad, little man]

Jason, if you're happy and prosperous using a $25 camera, all the best to you. Seriously. Just let me fill up my painful and empty life with expensive things as I need to without judging me. It doesn't make you any worse of a photographer.

Anyway, I call this one "Ethereal Sriracha, After Hours, Number Six." At least, that's what I would call it if I was pretentious. Actually I just focused on this bottle of Sriracha just to see what the lens would do with it."



Also, how about some hand held night time scenes at 1/100 shutter and 4000 ISO? This is directly out of the camera with no brightening. Initially I thought that speck of white light in the sky next to the building was a weird lens flare. Nope, it's a plane.

Well... it sure is a nice lens.

I stuck with Nikon back when I got into DSLRs (I had a Nikon 35mm SLR as a teen, but it was stolen from my storage unit about a decade ago), but these days I wish I'd gone Canon. Oh well, I'm not good enough to get the maximum out of the gear I have (Nikon D7000) and these days I use my Fuji X100T more, anyway.
