Treated myself

[Hacker]

I was in Digital depot at the weekend looking for a new bag which I got, I also picked up a Nikon 50mm f/1.4. I haven't had a chance to use it in anger yet but here are a couple of test shots taken in the shop, the DOF is so, so narrow!

1/40th @ f/1.4

1/60th @ f/1.4, I think I focused on the wrong eye!

It's a lovely lens.
I borrowed a friends last year for a few months last year, and got so much use out of it. Keep on meaning to dump my macro lens in favour of one!

Nice.... if you want a DOF of ~1cm.

Bet you are going to have lotsa fun

Nice! DOF and bokeh to die for.

It is a really fabulous lens Colin ... got myself one 'for Christmas' and well pleased with it !

Both my POTY pics have been taken with it this year ...

Seriously love it and don't like taking it off much at the moment ...

Enjoy it ...

What bag did you go for in the end ... :shrug:

Nice one amazing depth of field

Lovely shallow DoF, but is that some fringing on the 18?

Looks like it but if it's wide open I wouldn't worry about it. The canon 85mm F1.8 is the same, every one raves about it but it's not till about F3.2 you get rid of the fringing.
