I have my 18-135 mm kit lens, a 50 mm 1.8 lens, and a 28 mm 2.8 lens. The last two are prime lenses, meaning that they do not zoom at all - I have to move to zoom. I have some complaints about the 50 mm, which I can tell you about if you're interested (or thinking to buy one...)
This was with the 50, Chandra. The 28 would not have had such shallow dof with that shot. I love the focal length of the 28 mm and it's a great photojournalistic sort of lens (which I think are the shots I most enjoy taking), but hard to get the artsy look, if you know what I mean.
Also, I should clarify that my complaint about the 50 mm 1.8 (Nikon's version) is that it focuses too slowly. It will not lock in even on adults talking for a close-up, let alone on wiggly children. So I kind of wish I had invested in the 1.4 from the start just for lens quality.
Lisa, what lenses do you have?

ReplyDeleteI like the colorful bokeh here, Lisa. Is this the 28mm at work? Do you love that lens?
