Olympus SWD 12-60mm 1:2.8-4.0 ED Lens

$969.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
it is quick to focus, a bit more responsive than my former carry aound lens (18-180) and not too bulky to keep on for most of the day.
from www.amazon.com
i plan (somewhere in the future) to move up to an e-3, so the swd doesn't buy me much now, but keeps me somewhat "future-proofed" for the day when i have the cash to upgrade my camera.
from www.amazon.com
i would recommend this lens over the kit lens any day of the week.
from www.amazon.com
i bought this lense about ten days ago and have been using it with my e-510 ever since.

from www.amazon.com
this lens on my dslr is very close to my normal way of shooting from my film days.

shooting with this lens takes me back to my earliest days with a 35mm film slr and 50mm f1.8 lens.
from www.amazon.com
indoor night shots came out great, i'm planning on testing it outdoors today.
from www.amazon.com
i bought mine at ritz.com when ken posted they had availability, even though they were out by the end of that day, but it shipped the following week.
from www.amazon.com
i've been wanting a prime as i shoot a lot of indoor low light, as well as a lot of things at the dusk hour of the day.

- you may have a strange effect when this lens is focusing spot on in the daylight and is a complete disaster in incandecent or lower light situations.

Canon EF 50mm f/1.2L USM Lens

$2,033.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
it reminds me of why the 50mm lens was the go to lens in the film days.
from www.amazon.com
rather than sending it back and messing with the "i got a defective, bad copy" claims, i decided to send it right to canon, days after i bought it.
from www.amazon.com
now i can shoot wide open at f/1.2 all day long and get sharp pictures.
from www.amazon.com
i finally got it back from canon - more than 30 days after ordering - and the lens is only sharp at f1.8 and higher.
from www.amazon.com
i learned photography 'old school' in the film days; pick up a camera, put a 50mm lens on it, and shoot about 10000 pictures, then you can change lenses.

Sigma 50mm f/1.4 EX DG HSM LENS f/SONY/MIN 310205

$487.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
granted, the af had a few minor issues in tracking at night more so than in the day, but i have experienced the same case in other lenses.
from www.amazon.com
bokeh is the reason most people buy f/1.4 lenses these days, don't waste your money on the inferior nikon.
from www.amazon.com
and the fitted padded case is a great touch, these days you don't get that with an $1800 canon 85l.
from www.amazon.com
in the 5 days that i had the lens, i took in excess of 100 shots and few if any were sharp where my spot focus was placed.
from www.amazon.com
i received the lens and returned it the next day, because it has a very serious backfocus problem.
