My old lens is a 18-55mm 1:3.5-5.6, which is a really fantastic little lens that produces great shots. But for a while I have been really wanting to up the ante on my pictures and it has been frustrating that I have not been able to change the settings just how I would like. So I've bought the 50mm f/1.4.
The top photo was taken with the new f/1.4, and the lower picture with my older lens, both adjusted to shady conditions.
I've still got quite a way to go with learning how to best appreciate it, but I'm pretty excited at the prospect of experimenting... what do you think?
