Stellar, huh? Kidding! I promised a couple of you I'd upload - here ya go! Comments David Chu 4 months, 3 weeks ago: Did that look in focus through the viewfinder? Do you wear glasses? Where do you have the diopter directly to the right of the viewfinder set to? (it's a little slider). Dialogue proudmommy 4 months, 3 weeks ago: feels like I'm being reprimended here. It's set one click up. where should it be? And yes, I'm supposed to wear glasses. Maybe I should when using this lens? Dang. I hate glasses. David Chu 4 months, 3 weeks ago: Good eyesight is good for manual focusing. Are you far sighted or near sighted? I have a special thing that goes infront of my viewfinder that acts like my glasses, so I don't need to use my glasses. But I use my glasses anyway- with the diopter on camera set all the way down, so I get a super clear view.. haha. David Chu 4 months, 3 weeks ago: Oh and I saw in the EXIF you used flash. The reason to get this lens is so you don't have to use flash ;). Set the aperture to f/1.8, and whatever shutter speed is suggested (maybe raise the ISO if needed) and you're good to go. As long as the shutter speed is about 1/80 for inanimate objects (you may or may not be able to go below that- I usually go to 1/50 or so for inanimate objects) or 1/160-->1/250 for moving objects. proudmommy 4 months, 3 weeks ago: O ya. Now that I think about it, I figured that out after the first couple of shots. I just wanted you all to see why I didn't want to post my first attempts with a new lens. I have a learning curve - somewhat special ;) jays0n 4 months, 3 weeks ago: David is always a little critical, don't lit him GETCHYADOWN, but he does have quite a bit of knowledge for his age :) Thanks for posting and enjoy the 1.8. The rest of the shots are awesome. proudmommy 4 months, 3 weeks ago: No worries, jays0n. Not down at all. I knew this was on my list of crappyiest shots ever! Just wanted to see what he had to say! I seriously just pulled it out of the box, put it on the camera and shot! LOL! He makes me laugh - yes, you, David. I love how knowledgeable you are! Add to this dialogue Want to post a comment?
