Jase619 Posted December 6, 2018 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like it was a worthy investment so far. See those Nikon lenses are a bit more expensive than the Canon ones! WeekendWarrior80 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisF Posted December 6, 2018 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ghost Posted December 7, 2018 Share 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.

DJR Posted December 31, 2018 Share 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! Escapee.., Frosty, Veebee and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJR Posted January 1, 2019 Share 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. Tankman, Escapee.., 'Dale and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
