Every year, Sydney has the Sculptures by the sea exhibition on the coastal walk that goes from Bondi Beach to Bronte Beach. The exhibition part of the walk is about 2kms along quite a spectacular area overlooking the Pacific Ocean/Tasman Sea. The exhibition is usually run at this time of year for about 3 weeks. Is there a better back drop for such an exhibition? I think not!
There was quite a crowd as this is a popular tourist attraction and I had to wait many times for a clear shot at some exhibits.
I took this opportunity to use my 35 f1.8S, 50 f1.8S and 85 f1.8S as much as I could but I did use the 14-30 f4S and 24-70 f2.8S for some images as well. Here are the 50 f1.8S images. I purposely didn't remove the vignetting on some as I thought they looked better with the vignetting left. Like the 35 f1.8S, man this lens is sharp wide open! And like the 35 f1.8S, the bokeh can be a bit hit and miss, but generally pretty good depending on conditions.
There will be 35mm f1.8S, 85 f1.8S 14-30 f4S and 24-70 f2.8S images in their respective threads as well. I hope you like them as much as I did taking them.

I little belated in my reply, but thanks a lot. This picture came about with me trying to defocus the 50mm and see what the bokeh looked like, safe to say I was quite pleased with the abstract style outcome!

Thank you very much, Charles. Much appreciated!
The 50 is a gem and I am liking it more and more the more I use it. 50mm was never a focal length I was drawn to, neither here nor there IMO, but I just can't help but love this little lens. Sharpness wide open is ridiculous and the bokeh is very good as is the overall IQ. I mean, the detail in the red pencil landscape shot is just mad. Maybe the old F mount 50's were never that good wide open that's why they didn't entice me. The 58 f1.4G was a different animal, a proper bokeh dream machine for portraits and then sharpened up beautifully to make it a great landscape lens as well. I almost bought a 58 f1.4G, but the price scared me off and then the Z system was announced so I never pursued it, also I don't do portraits all that much so I wouldn't use it wide open all that much.

I really love this 50mm. Been enjoying it since June.
I'm pleasantly surprised at the bokeh of this lens. I don't want to say it, but I'm using my 200mm f2.0 less and less. It's so much easier(obviously) to pick up and with results like this, I have less of a reason to use the heavier and bulkier lens.

Well, that is pretty hard to argue with when you get results like that. The bokeh is excellent and the sharpness is great.

Agreed. Flat profile along with Portrait is a lot more subtle. With sharp lenses you do not need high contrast.
To match the look in Capture i need to crank the contrast very low; it almost seems like there is a shadow push in Flat. I want to see what lightroom does with its automatically transferred raw settings.
