Wonderful Lens
|
This lens is amazing! I just recently bought the Pentax K10D, my first dSLR, because I wanted to take better pictures indoors. I purchased the camera without the kit lens and bought the FA 50mm f/1.4 instead. The difference between my new camera/lens and my "Advanced Compact Super-zoom" (Canon S2 IS) is night and day. I used to take hundreds of shots in continuous mode to get a few sharp ones -- which were still rather noisy. With this lens I get sharp pictures indoors without using a flash.
This is a great lens for head shots indoors. It is a moderate telephoto on a dSLR (due to the smaller sensor), so it is sometimes difficult/impossible to move back enough to get a full body shot in a smaller room. Depending on your needs you may prefer the "normal" view that the 35mm f/2 would provide -- but that lens costs about 50% more.
I am loving this lens. I find myself using it at about f/2.8 most of the time, thus far (to keep the subject's entire head in focus). |
