awesome photos. im saving for this lens too. more and more plz
One quick question. PPL said that this lens only create special effects (3D rendering) and bokeh if u open up wider than 2.8?
is that right?
No, that is not right imo. Some will argue with me, but bokeh does not necessarily get better the thinner the depth of field. A lens\' bokeh actually comes from the lens design, not from the position of the aperture. It is true that many people associate better bokeh with thinner depth of field (more bokeh), but imo, that is wrong.
If your looking for thin depth of field and circular highlights, then it is much easier to get those qualities by shooting at apertures wider than F2.8. If your looking for good bokeh, that is inherent of the lens design and you will get that at any aperture with this lens but as you stop down, your ability to notice the better bokeh decreases because more is in focus. (less bokeh)
Bokeh and shallow depth of field are separate. If you shoot and say an f5.6 and are really close to your subject, you will still get shallow depth of field and notice the great bokeh. If you shoot at F5.6 and focus at infinity, the bokeh will suck because there likely isn\'t any bokeh.
Confused?
So get closer to your subject!
