Apparently an awesome lens though. Jase619 1

Jase619 Posted December 6, 2018 Posted December 6, 2018 VERY nice lens dont use mine often enough .... From what I have seen so far it looks like a damn good purchase. My first prime, but I can see the attraction. Plus that max aperture is amazing!

Apparently an awesome lens though. It looks like it was a worthy investment so far. See those Nikon lenses are a bit more expensive than the Canon ones! Fruity 1
Fruity Posted December 6, 2018 Posted December 6, 2018 It looks like it was a worthy investment so far. See those Nikon lenses are a bit more expensive than the Canon ones!Yeh I think when it comes to Canon and Nikon, the Canon bodies generally cost more than the Nikon bodies, and the Nikon lenses generally cost more than the Canon lenses.
AJP Posted December 6, 2018 Posted December 6, 2018 First time to Suikerbosrand without a road bike. What a beautiful place we have so close to Joburg.Found myself a Canon 77D with kit lens For those who didn't know. Suikerbosrand has the highest peak in Gauteng. Toringkop - 1913m - 26°30’40.0″ S 28°13’46.5" E Check out 9 Peaks challenge at http://ninepeaks.co.za/peaks.html
ChrisF Posted December 6, 2018 Posted December 6, 2018 (edited) From what I have seen so far it looks like a damn good purchase. My first prime, but I can see the attraction. Plus that max aperture is amazing! The max aperture is both a blessing and a curse .... EXTREMELY narrow depth of field ... Stunning effect when used correctly. But really needs some practice to figure out the limits .... My other favorite is the 100m macro lens .... yes, handy for macro pics, but man what a stunning prime lens for portraits etc ! Again, you have to be very aware of the depth of field ... fun when you start playing with "stacking" to get the absolute best out of a macro lens ... sorry, going off topic .... camera batteries are on charge. Doing a shoot for a friend this weekend, looking forward to some fun time behind the lens after an absolutely insane month at work !! while on the topic of FUN .... fisheye is another lens that needs to be experimented with ... (had to photoshop my feet out of that pic...) and then it was time to really PLAY .... Edited December 6, 2018 by ChrisF DJR 1
The Ghost Posted December 7, 2018 Posted December 7, 2018 I finally added one of these to my kit, thanks to a R9k discount on Black Friday.I don’t think I will love it as much as the 70-200, but it gives me more options in smaller spaces. seven, Escapee.. and ChrisF 3
capediver Posted December 10, 2018 Posted December 10, 2018 Some frame grabs from a trip that seems a lifetime back..... ChrisF and BSG 2
DJR Posted December 31, 2018 Posted December 31, 2018 My last picture for 2018. Looking down the river Arno in Firenze towards the Ponte Cecchio. A blind monkey can take a great picture from a spot like that, I know, but at least I knew to wait for sunset. Oh, and it was taken with my dumb phone, I really miss the big Canon, but there is just no way I could have dragged that along at the speed the young Ds are moving! Travel light and fast! Drink coffee to keep upright, eat pasta to keep moving forward! What fun! ChrisF, Escapee.., Frosty and 1 other 4
DJR Posted January 1, 2019 Posted January 1, 2019 First picture of 2019. Again so easy, simply impossible to get a bad shot. No, I didn't get it skew. Another dumb phone picture. Veebee, Escapee.., 'Dale and 1 other 4

DJR Posted January 5, 2019 Posted January 5, 2019 I simply love taking abstract pictures. In this case the reflections on water. fanievb 1
