RUSTIQUE EYE

[FUJI]

At last, I found a subject that proves what a fantastic bit of kit a ...Nifty-Fifty......lens can do...how, when wide open will produce photographs with amazing Shallow Depth of Field.

 

As taken, with no crop...I have given the original RAW file a CS3 boost plus selective sharpening.

 

The lens is a vintage MINOLTA AF 1.7/50 won on eBay for well under £90 ...if you have a SONY Alpha camera I can highly reccommend getting one.

 

I was hoping to enjoy it's Street Photography capabilities at our local Market this morning...but Sod's law has brought heavy rain and leaden skies......Ah Well! there will be other days ;-)

I use my canon 50mm a lot

They are so over looked these days (mindst you with the sensor in your sony and my canon being cropped, they are potentialy an 85mm lens with low light capabilitys)

That's really good.
Typical of the weather. It's tha same here, but I'm sure you will make up for it when it brightens up. 

Looking forward to some more of your people shots.

I have an absolutely fabulous Minolta MC Auto-Rokkor 58mm f1.4 lens, which gives the most amazing shallow DOF at full aperture (providing you can live with the edge softness at f1.4). I just wish there was a way to use it on a digital camera, but alas I plumped for a Lumix superzoom.

love my 50mm 1.4F especially its low light capability, looking forward to seeing some of your pictures using your niffty.
