LLF, if moonman gets any shallower with DOF he'll be out of focus!

most famous pics aren't in focus anyways! HAHAHA!

It produces even shallower DOF xD

I don't know. Probably a softer release feeling. Like on pro DLSR bodies. I can only relate to D700, which has a very smooth release.

yeah it makes pressin the shutter down easier cuz the shutter button on the m bodies are curved downwards and usually u need to press it quite far down to shoot. with a soft release it makes it easier and most likely prevents camera shakes at lower speeds.

:p why a basketball infront of a soccer net? :p

Kind Regards to You, My Victim

Flickr description explains it:

The wee lad made this out of some ice lolly sticks (popsicle sticks to non-UKers) and painted the face on it.

It was just sitting there on my bed and for some reason I imagined it as a creepy serial killer calling card (cos they alway leave their cards behind, lol) so endeavoured to take the above snap.

I'm starting to really like that curved edge to my photos (through lightroom on the vignette panel) can see it being my "thing" for the next little while.

You know what? I've figured it out. It isn't that moonman shoots a small DOF it's just that he uses Giagantic models in his photos giving the "illusion" of it being normal sized with an infinitesimal DOF.

It's so obvious to me know I don;t how I could not see it before!

In all seriousness though, I'm totally jealous.

[in the high pitched tones of Sting] I want my f1.2!! :cry:

Yeah, I've got a f1.8 50mm, focusing on manual is a bitch with moving objects but I do not bad with non moving (see latest image).

And I've a D40 so an AF lens at f1.4 or f1.2 is a big spend.

u don't have a 1.2 choice that has AF :p. 1.4 with AF is not expensive, 50AFS G is ur choice.

Yea it's "only $450." However, the sigma 50mm f1.4 (for $500) will definitely be my next lens.

Yeah, it's not exactly "cheap" but I'm being more and more tempted.

Had a look at the sigma - pretty much the same but indications are it performas slightly better with auto focus speed.

I'll probably still go with the nikkor as it's a bit cheaper over here.

I shall refrain from derailing this thread any further.

:laugh:

What's so special about Sigma that I keep hearing about.

The general opinion is that the Sigma is a bit sharper wide open than the Nikon. But the main factor is that the bokeh is much much better. And if you're shooting at f1.4, you're going to have bokeh. So you may as well have good looking bokeh.

the difference is minimal in terms of bokeh wide open. depends on wat u want to use, the 50 afs g is quite small and would go rather well with a smaller body. the sigma is quite big for a 50mm lens.

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts

      By Max Norris · Posted

      Nice, hope they *finally* fixed the issue with the NTFS driver where the system would completely brick during large file copies using the built in driver. It's been broken for years requiring me to use the older, slower, NTFS-3G FUSE driver.
