Got my new gear today, and decided to do some testing. I tested the 50mm 1.2L vs the Nikon 50mm 1.4 AI. Didn't see quite as much difference as I'd have thought/hoped. I might just have to let go of the 1.2L and get a TechArt Pro.
All around, I'm extremely happy with my new setup, and I can't wait to spam this thread with images from wedding season.
50mm f/1.2L
50mm f/1.4 AI-S
Then, I tried out my new Tilt-Shift adapter with the 50mm AI-S.
Since I plan to take some serious cultural images in Bali, I did take two fast prime lenses with me on the trip to Indonesia. Screw the weight and bulk issues, I want to get the most out of that opportunity ! I used one of the two prime lenses priced for its rendition that morning.
Most shots but one one or two are mis-focussed here, low and difficult light inside a dark place. 42 megapixels are very generous in hiding that, so i an not complaining.
On second thoughts, had i used a manual focus lens, i would have surely ended up with 2 keepers rather than 200 mis-focussed shots, plainly because i would apply my brain.
