More info | Jun 05, 2014 12:08 | #2883 For the focal length, the bokeh is actually pretty good - you either learn to live with it or you stay north of 50mm, regardless of manufacturer. No idea why you would say that it's lousy for humans when there are dozens of examples in this thread that prove otherwise.

Because I prefer "softer" faces. What it great for cats, showing every hair, is not too good for human wrinkles.

dolina Goldmember  More info Post edited over 2 years ago by dolina. | Jun 07, 2014 08:09 | #2888  Two-spot red snapper (Lutjanus bohar) by Paolo Dolina, on FlickrThis Two-spot red snapper, Lutjanus bohar (local name "Maya-maya") is a regular catch at the Tacloban Fish Shed. I was told that this snapper is estimated to be about 5kg and that in bulk price it sells for $2.27/lbs. If I had a proper kitchen to work in I would've bought this fish outright and make lunch!

I purchased the pancake to have something super compact to use, but still want to get the sigma50A... Wondering if they are too similar to have both in my collection? 6D| 35mm f/2 IS

Jun 13, 2014 02:30 | #2892 ^^I agree with the post above. While I have the Sigma 35mm, I'm keeping the 40 STM. The 35 for its wide aperture and the 40 for compactness, even though the focal lengths are very similar. Same for the new Sigma 50 compared with the pancake. Considering the price of the pancake and the small amount of room it occupies in the bag, it isn't that hard to justify. Sony A7 III, 20mm f/1.8 G, 35mm f/1.4 GM, 85mm f/1.4 DG DN A, 105mm F/2.8 DG DN Macro A, 100-400mm f/5-6.3 DG DN OS C, Flashpoint flashes

, but does pretty lousy job for humans. Street photography? Maybe, when there is no faces at the front of the image. Landscape? Most likely for that, and for cats
