Its EXIF:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/ed_gaillard/5236294055/meta/in/pool-382727@N25

Exposure: 0.004 sec (1/250)
Aperture: f/4.0
Focal Length: 210 mm
ISO Speed: 1600

The camera body is A700.

EDIT: If the primary objective is for portrait and small budget, get the Sony 85mm F2.8 better. IMO.

i dropped by the zoo today with a couple of friends. just some casual shots. unprocessed except resized in flickr.

we should totally have a beercan thread

Seriously, to get a nice blur BG, "the distance bewteen the subject and the bg must be far apart enough". even a simple 75-300 at f5.6 is able to get a certain nice bokeh if used correctly.

As for the beer can, at f4, it's able to produce sharp pictures. i used to own 1 before i sold it off.. Alot of times, we complain the lenses we have are not sharp, 80% is where we focus lock and how badly we have recomposed the picture.

And yes, i agree that if shooting in the day. When having a shutter speed reading at 125sec, the picture is still soft, the lens might have some problem matching the camera body.

Ssssh, bro, remember, you don't know bokeh, or the beercan, or the rule of handholding. :bsmilie:

We used to actually. Then the mods closed and deleted it, saying it should be in the galleries section. Of course, if you look in the other brand forums they have lens-specific threads all the time, with mods actively posting and sharing. Here, no such luck.

IIRC, its ok if we can include the exif for "technical" discussion
