Guess the lens?

tackyat.2 · 06-26-2011, 12:51 AM

My last guess: Pentax DA40mm 2.8 Limited.

TOUGEFC · 06-26-2011, 01:06 AM

Still no, anymore want a guess?

DanielT74 · 06-26-2011, 01:13 AM

OK my last guess - Sigma 30/1.4.

TOUGEFC · 06-26-2011, 01:35 AM

Yep Sigma 30mm f/1.4

Interesting that FA31,FA43 and f/1.2 was guessed...

feverbeaver · 06-26-2011, 01:35 AM

DA 35mm Ltd.

Well, it's fast and very sharp in the centre with a reasonable bokeh. A pretty good lens!

TOUGEFC · 06-26-2011, 02:08 AM

Yeah its very sharp in center, even sharper in the center than the FA43! But sharpness isnt everything, what I like most about the lens is the way it isolates subjects.

We were sitting down at a table having lunch so would have been maybe less than a meter. And that shot was f/1.8.

choose the FA31 because it is so wide and smooth. I thought I saw some onion rings there but dismissed it since I wasn't sure because the image is so small. I didn't think it was an FA43 because of the smooth bokeh transition although I think it was some sort of an f1.2 (not necessarily Pentax because it doesn't look to be and lacks the certain artsy bokeh, but still a bit hesitant to be an f1.2). finally I said Sigma 85 because of the overall rendering that the lens produces, although I got the focal length wrong here but the rendering looks like a typical fast Sigma. again the center resolution made it difficult to distinguish the lens, also hesitant about the 85mm.

Thought I'd kick-start this thread again.

A common and well-regarded lens this time:

erkie · 07-25-2011, 06:08 PM

one of the smc 50 1.7 s ?

RXrenesis8 · 07-25-2011, 08:47 PM

Looks longer than a 50 to me, maybe in the 77-90 range?
