If you want shallow DOF, just get a 4x5 camera and a 150mm f/4.5-ish lens. Nothing on a smaller format compares.

Fast lenses rock, its just sad to see them used for only MySpace shots. I love my 50mm 1.4, mangs.

Though, people not accepting anything higher than 1.8 are dummies. 2.8 should be minimum if your into anything sports and dawkness. If not then 4/5.6 are fine.

hahaha, wow. i was fucking kidding when i said that, of course. i don't think anyone in the history of the english language has said "blank blank blank is so pedestrian to me" that wasn't a) a billionaire or b) being facetious.

those lenses are still completely lustworthy, though shallow depth of field is insta-art easy mode. it's like playing reggae at a party.

you can buy a mint 50 1.4 for about $250. Are people really crazy enough (dick challenged) to spend nearly double for a 0.22 stop increase? You could re-rate film by 0.22 stop and get the same increase in "speed" with virtually no increase in grain.
I know, I know, you shallow dof idiots are gong to say it's not the same, but the difference is minimal. I'd calculate the difference for you chumps but I have dinner plans

is it really only .22 of a stop? that doesn't sound right in the least.

On a crop body, I think I'd agree with you. Smaller viewfinder, only the central portion of the imaging circle used, AF is good, etc etc. In fact, I really don't think most people need a 1.2. But shooting full frame, there's a much greater difference in character between the 1.4 and 1.2. The 1.2 is an arguably inferior optic. Honestly, the way it vignettes and is so soft due to the DoF (it's razor sharp where it IS in focus, but that ain't much) makes it more like a really exotic Holga effect, in a way. Not for every situation, but it's nice to have the ability to produce a totally crazy frame or a really nice crisp one. I don't regret a single dollar I spent on the lens. It's still really a bargain when you look at how much other 1.2s go for... I've seen most Zuikos and Takumars up in the $500-600 range, and Canons obviously are a lot more.

Course, the worth of a lens is ultimately measured by how much you use it, so it's specific to every person.

It's a third of a stop and on a full-frame sensor, it makes a huge difference, but not in terms of speed, but image quality (in my experience).
>> Anonymous
>>248327
>>It's a third of a stop and on a full-frame sensor
it has nothing to do with the size of the sensor

and it's .44 of a stop, and sorry pals, even that isn't really significant. Figure it this way - if you were in low light and the shutter speed had to be 1/30th second for the 1.4, it would be 1/44 (round to 1/50)

There's a reason lens makers stay away (most of the time) from large apertures. They really don't give you that much, but the increase the price & weight significantly. And that really shallow depth of field portrait thing gets old very quickly

Totally wrong.

Kuvan piirtyminen terävänä filmille/sensorille on yhtä vaikeaa 35mm aukolla kuin 70mm aukolla?
>> >>249048
>>249087
- There's nothing about sharpness in>>249042
- 'kuvataso' (image plane) is the general word for both film and sensor, so 'filmille/sensorille' is quite an clumsy expression
- 'aukko' is synonymous with 'apertuuri', and both get used a lot in Finnish, like it or not

There's nothing `totally wrong' about my translation. Yours is inaccurate.

Yes, and both 'piirtyminen' and 'piirtäminen' are correct translations.

Congratulations, you're a better troll than I am.
I can't even begin to imagine the amount of willpower it must have taken to type something like that without chewing your fingers off or bashing your head into your keyboard until the blood trickles to the floor over the edge of your desk.
