Congrats on your new lens

Looks like you nailed the focus @f2.2.....presuming you were focussing on that particular stem

Nicely controlled DOF!

Thanks guys, I did focus on the stem and got the result i was looking for. I bought this lens mainly because it gives great results of DOF and is also excellent for low light situations. Im looking forward to using it more and trying a few portraits.
Cheers!

Hi Trish, the photo looks fine and the wide aperture has done a good job of blurring the BG.

Can I just ask, was this as close as you could go in terms of focusing? It may well be so given that it's a wide-angle lens and so not really designed for close-ups or macros but just wondered how it gets on with close focusing. Certainly no problem with it here :o)

Cheers,
Rob

Hi Rob, it was actually one of the first shots I did with the lens.

Its a 35mm fixed lens so I got as close as I could.

The focusing is excellent and will most likely be better once I get to grips with it. Im going to have do a lot more practise shots to see if it improves by photography

(Dream on Trish) lol!

I took this shot the next day of one of the kids just fooling around my back garden and this was taken from a much further distance and cropped down.

There is definitely nothing wrong with that lenses sharpness then :o) And by the way, there is nothing wrong with your photography either Trish, you have improved loads over the time that I have seen your pics and I am sure that will continue. I am always looking to improve as are all sensible photographers. Some think they know it all but most recognise there is always something more to be learnt and you and I are among them :o)

Keep up the good work and enjoy this lovely new lens ;o)

Cheers,
Rob
