I'm going to take some pics of a ruler when I get home and see if there's any frontal focus problems at 1.8. It seems to be a general problem for the 50 f1.8 with a lot of ppl in the forums and not something I picked up on when doing research for this lens. I guess I shouldn't complain too...
Well as I stated above...the pics WERE taken on a tripod. The picture taken at 2.8 was on AI Focus...the lens was then changed to MF so that no focal change was done before taking the 1.8 pic. And yes, center AF was used for the 2.8 picture.
my friend is basically saying that my AF is not accurate since the logo (the part we aimed at) was softer than another part of the crumpler bag (lining above the logo).
I'm talking about a simple bet btw a friend and mine...how was this question answered numerous times before if it's subjected only toward my lens?
Obviously DOF is what causes the softness...but shouldn't the logo in focus be sharper than the orange lining above? Please read carefully before...
Hi everyone, I'm hoping someone here can settle a bet for me.
So I'm over at my friend's apt and he's playing with my 50mm f1.8. After about 20 or so shots...he uploads them to his computer and we notice the pics taken at 1.8 to be a little soft. So we decided to take some test shots after...
Thanks! CP was actually sold out of it but my friend was able to get me the lens from another store. I paid $630 as well.
Thanks to all who replied! :)
Does anyone know the current price at CP for the Tamron SP AF28-75MM F/2.8? I have a friend in Sing this wkd who can pick one up for me.
Also, not interested in 2nd hand copies...I've had bad experiences in the past and generally buy everything new now.
thanks guy ;)
Was doing some more research today while at work and came across the Tamron AF 28-75mm f2.8 lens. Anyone have any comments? From what I hear...it appears to be very sharp but the QC isn't exactly the best.
I'd love to hear everyone's thoughts :)
actually...I think the 28-135 will suit my needs nicely. I don't really need a bigger range than that for now....thanks for the input :)
I've been playing with my friend's 17-40 f/4L recently and loving it so far. Don't think I can justify buying 3 lenses in a matter of a month...I still...
