What’s up with the F2 bro?? Jk I found myself actually shooting more at F2 with this lens.


Moving subjects, reception, flash, motion, etc. Cannot risk with f/1.4...
Other than that I ALWAYS shoot at 1.4! Screw f/2.0

I didn't buy this bokeh machine to use at f/2.0!!

It’s amazing at 5.6.

Yeah, I'm trying to see if I miss it. I bought a 50, so if it can't give me what I need then I'll just buy another copy. Hopefully I get a copy as good as the one I just let go.

I just can't wrap my head around spending that much for a 50mm-ish lens. Maybe because my very first DSLR lens was the nifty fifty @ $100.

You’ll miss it. I did the exact same thing. I refrained from reacquiring the 58mm as long as possible but eventually I had to have it again. So much fun shooting with this lens.

I have the Zeiss Milvus 50mm f/1.4 ZF.2 and although it’s manual focus, it’s incredibly easy to focus and the bokeh and rendered background is better than the 58mm for me, I can’t speak for everyone, but I really like it and the lens is only $1199. It’s also much sharper than the 58mm wide open. Anyway, those are my thoughts.

A walk in the woods, f1.8. Still getting to know this lens - sometimes it just nails the focus and looks great and sometimes it's a total mess (not in the case of this photo).

Finally I have learned how to use and love this lens... first months I hated it, with passion. But now it barely leaves my camera

First shot with the 58 1.4G. It needs AFFT, but I'm not hating it...

Try dot tune method at around f/1.8. I found that I had a hard time nailing a consistent fine-tune value wide open.
