In which Toni becomes a fan of 50mm lenses…

February 16th, 2010 § 2

Last week, I got a box in the mail from a nice little company called B&H Photo Video that I had been waiting for.  Unfortunately, it came right in the middle of a nasty cold that left me feeling, well…nasty.  But I instantly felt a little better when I opened up the box.

I had been wanting this lens for a loooooooong time.  And it felt good to finally get it.  It’s a 50mm, fixed focal lenth (read: no zoom) lens with an aperture beginning at f/1.4.  Can you say cool?

It’s great for pictures where you want a very small depth of field.  Like this…

These were my Valentines Day roses from my parents.  They made me smile :) .  And the 50mm made them look pretty nice, don’t you think?
