Had no idea how easy this picture trick actually was until I sat down and did it....

(to add, I will be attempting this picture again, but with three different pictures, the first two with the same settings (background then background and laptop, then a third picture metering for the computer screen so I can use the menu bar at the top, and dock at the bottom of the screen)

QUOTED IMAGE

the point is to get this effect without photoshop...not cuting out the screen on the layer with the computer and having the pic without the conmputer on layer under...but to make a desktop picture and frame it so it fits into the enviroment...

ok, challenge accepted!

I've seen it done both ways, but I guess I took the easy way out.

;) I'll be back

i just bought these lens yesterday, and to be honest, they are pretty soft until f/2.8, much like the canon 50mm f/1.4

I see what you're talking about, although at 1/25s and slower I'd have to call this an unreliable test. Try it in good light (or use a flash if you have one) at shutter speeds of around 1/200s - 1/250s and tripod mounted. If you're having the same issue, I'd return it for a better one.

BTW, the 50mm f/1.4 (Canon) I had was sharp from wide open. I think you've been a little unlucky with those two lenses.

the 50mm f/1.4 is known to be a bit soft wide open.

These shots were taken with a tripod.

If those were taken with a tripod I'd say you have a bad copy or there's some other issue. I've shot wide open with mine numerous times and never seen anything as soft as those photos suggest. Even compared to your 2.8 shot.

maybe my copy is bad. it just seems ridiculous to me because the reviews I have read all indicate this is a really good lens. :cry:
