Happy Thanksgiving!

Canon EOS R f1.2 ISO 640 1/250 Canon RF 50mm f1.2 L

I know I have not been posting regularly.  It has been extremely busy at work and at home.  With that said, I have not quit shooting.  

I recently decided to purchase the Canon RF 50mm f1.2 L.  I have read so many reviews comparing it to Zeiss Otus and Leica’s 50mm lenses that I thought it would be a great addition to my collection.  What is even better is that it is autofocus.  The frustrating part is that I had to by another camera to use it.  The Canon EOS R is not a bad camera and there are many aspects of it that I like but I do like the ergonomics of the new Nikon Z7 better.  As Lloyd Chamber states on his website:

“Finally, some lenses are so good that the lens should be bought with the camera considered an accessory necessary for using the lens. The Canon RF 50mm f/1.2L USM is such a lens.”


Depth

I was in Madison Wisconsin this weekend to see my sister and nephew.  I had some opportunity to take some shots with my NEX 7.  I’m still very happy with it’s results.  I think its auto white balance is better than my Leica M9.

This shot is a close-up of an organ’s keys.  I really liked the texture of the keys and thought a close-up would work well.  I set my f-stop to 1.8 so that I could get some depth of field.  I think it turned out well.  The “bokeh” is good but in my opinion it’s not as smooth as my Leica lenses.
