Nice picture!

OT: As to the gesture, instead of hard I must say I find it over-used, offensive, lacking style, "un-cultured"... it doesn't make me angry, just instantly makes me label the person using it as being someone I don't need to consider. Stay away from using it ...

Get over it they are outtakes.

Ouch, I feel you just gave me the finger again.

Anyway, it's your choice how you want to present yourselves, just voicing an honest opinon here. Please feel free to disregard it of course.

Again, nice pictures, both this one and the previous group pictures.

Ain't nothin but a thang, people! Let's all hold hands and smooch. Nvm, a lot of us here are men...
Anyways, I'm still trying to get around the f/1.4 softness issue. I've shot many subjects under manufactured light and they appear to be sharp enough. At times when I'm shooting at different angles, I can get some aberrations/extra softness. I need to test this out.

Btw, I'm not really familiar with ND filter systems, would say, a Cokin filter system fit this lens along with my 17-40L? I would love to shoot wide open in bright sunlight.

Some will say that Cokin is the budget alternative and you'll get better quality filters elsewhere, like Lee filters. I don't use them often enough to judge but Cokin works OK for me.

I see. I just might focus on some 58mm ND filters instead since the 50mm and 85mm share the same diameter. I'd like to add some depth of field + strobe lighting in bright daylight.

Maybe you already know, but just in case... circular filters are OK for ND filters as long as they are not graduated - you want to be able to slide those filters up and down to place the horizon somewhere else than in the middle.

Ok, just ordered this lens and should be in tomorrow! I think it will be a perfect compact lens for my 5d mkII. Ever since I got my E-P1, I've been looking for a 5d mkII combo that will be smaller than my other glass.

Hopefully this will perform pretty well!

Borrowed this from my friend for an E-Shoot. Loved it on my 40D. Shot wide open, iirc.

Awesome shot there! Lens comes in today, excited for new toys. Especially ones in small packages!

Hey everyone, new member here. Just got my XSi and 50mm 1.4.

Ok, so it just came into work and so wanted to test the focus and sharpness. WTF?! This thing is crazy good.

For a 300 dollar lens, I’m kinda of trippin’ out. This is shot at f/1.4, iso 400. 100% crop in the second image, focused on the face of the logo. Not as much CA as I expected coming from a non L lens. WOW. I seriously don't know if owning the 50L is worth it, although my brother does use it quite often. Guess we'll wait and see how this holds up. Bokeh def. not as nice, but still...

BTW, this is micro adjusted -10

Yes, brand new but what is shocking about that? I pretty much have to adjust every lens I own minus my 85L haha.

looks like you got a keeper there Migs. i have to double check mine, but i believe mine was better at +10 MA.
