Hi,
I suppose this question has been asked before, but a quick search came up empty.
I have yet to own any of the Limiteds. That's on my goals plan, but at this point, in my humble lens collection, my best lenses are the FA 50 f1.7 and its older brother, the A 50 f1.7. I recently did a Quinceañera (Sweet 15) session outdoors exclusively with the FA. It amazes me how I can post process (work minor skin blemishes) these images at 200% or even 300% crop and still look great. Ridiculous Pixel peeping at 400% start to show some corner sharpness "issues" but it honestly makes no sense to complaint. As you can see I'm happy with it.
My only "issue" is that 50mm can be a bit tight for indoors. Looking forward, I'd love to get a Limited in the 35-40mm range (most likely a 40 since it is more affordable than the 35). How would these compare to the FA 50 f1.7? I'm a sucker for sharpness and overall IQ.
And yes, I know, a FF will suddenly make it wider
Your thoughts?
Thanks,
