Ive never owned a prime lens until today. Ive always been a fan of zoom lenses due to the versatility and never really had a desire for prime lenses until recently. With all the buzz in the forums about the FA 50mm f/1.4, I had to give it a shot. For just $200, you almost cant go wrong.
While the following represents nothing spectacular, technically speaking, I was simply amazed at the sharpness of this lens, even WIDE open! (Note the reflections in the eye). The colors are rendered beautifully, the bokeh is pleasing.
Im a believer now! I just have to get used to zooming with my feet
