Eric

It's not a zoom but the FL is nearly right

I think that's hint big enough

hoanpham · 05-13-2011, 01:24 AM

It can be DA40.
But my guess is FA43 wide open, 2,5-3 m distance

Bingo!

Who's next?

I have shown this photo earlier, so it should be easy while we wait for new photos from others.
If you have photo to continue the challenge, just post it/them. We can keep it running parallely.

Hint: Wide open.
EXIF included if you got stuck.

77 ltd?

hoanpham,
I love that bokeh in the front plane though not that much the back end (but highlights are much more harder to render then mid-tones). As for the guess - I don't know, sorry.

hoanpham, is it the FA 50mm 1.4?

Here's my submission (no peeking!)

eddie1960 · 05-13-2011, 12:00 PM

judging by the FOV it's too long a lens for most of the lenses in your Sig Line. Bokeh doesn't really look like the 77, so if it's one of the lenses in your sig its the F70-210, probably wide open

No, but both are close.

I noticed that too, but cannot find a way to get the bokeh evenly on the back end.
However, the front and the back can tell some about the shooting distance, not an accurate measurement..

More hint:
Not zoom, iso 1250, 1/40, AF won't work - at least not on my K20d

Same lens, all photos wide open:

Bingo, at 135mm, f5.6.

axl · 05-13-2011, 01:22 PM

What AF lens wouldn't work on K20D?!?
And are you sure the last shot is wide open, the highlights seem slightly octagonal to me...

Peter, You are right. just checked the lens. I shoot the whole serie in the cafe one click down.
My mistake. FA77 got focus hunted a lot, FA50 is too wide, so I switch to this lens.

Regarding the photo from paperbag846, what kind of bottle is that?

Any one next?

Something I have hanging around my backyard - we put some sugary liquid in there to trap mosquitoes and wasps.

This is really puzzling! Especialy with the AF thing. Last 2 hints, please:
Is it SMC lens?
Is it AF/MF?
