Too much vignette and poor light on subject. Other than that, solid comp and good photo.

I got a manual 50mm lens. (f-stop (1.8-16) and focus are both completely manual) It's far smaller then my 40-150mm so I will most likely start using this over that for more zoomed pictures.

It's a cool little thing and I'm glad I got it for free.

Edit: And I also got a "Haze 1" filter with it, which is now my first filter I've ever owned. Can't wait to try the thing out tomorrow.

It's good that you got it for free; manual focusing lenses are a pain in the ass. I have no problem and even sometimes enjoy the challenge and technical skill in using them on brown townog cameras, it's just that as far as DSLRs are concerned, I expect speed, precision, and perfection. Manual is simply incapable of delivering all those things.

Unless you are talking about manual zoom

What

Fredulus · March 10, 2013, 06:54:06 PM

manual focus is really useful in some situations, but yeah, auto is obviously really nice

Due to recent upgrade, I'm selling a bunch of my old camera stuff.

Price is $700 for the lot or $600 for the camera and $150 for the 35 1.8 if you want to split them up. Message me if you're interested/want more details!

I like coming to look at cool photos on this thread but they take ages to load.

Damn you all and your high-res photos!

That picture resembles poverty, and how much the many less-fortunate people would give just to be able to eat, or get a hold of, the processed food that we take for granted and sometimes even avoid to stay healthy.

and since it's a potato chip it also says something about the irish, i'm sure.
