Happy Thanksgiving!
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.”
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.
