Hey Folks,
I'm wondering about picking up a 35mm lens for portraiture...considering the DA35 macro, or maybe waiting for the upcoming 30mm. Or for that matter, how do the 31/1.8 or 35/2 compare specifically for portraits? Zeiss Flektogon? I've got a 35/2 SMC takumar that I'm relatively happy with, but I'd like a normal AF lens to have in the bag for those days I don't want to MF.
I'm wondering if f2.8 is bright enough to throw the background out of focus in semi-wide portraiture. Or am I going to want to stop down a brighter lens to f2.8 anyway for DOF/sharpness optimization...
Thoughts from 35mm portrait shooters? |
