LBA Post: SMCP FA 77mm f/1.8 Limited · 12:08 PM

Today I have received SMCP FA 77mm f/1.8 Limited which I have bought from Duplo

Great lens, I think I'm going to like it

So, here comes mandatory LBA post:

And 100% crop. This lens is brutally sharp at f/5.6... (sorry, it was my mistake stating that picture was shot @f/2.8)

Thanks, I needed a reminder of why I am going to buy this one soon

Looks like Duplos copy is in good and capable hands

No question the lens is a great one, Sharp and great colours. Cool shots as well.

Gooshin · 01-24-2008, 12:58 PM

is this h andheld or off a tripod?

Focus is too sharp - details are too clear colors are too sharp - you should send it to me to evaluate further

Handheld.

Actually you can clearly see my reflection in my daughter's eye

Great shot and I agree. Got it from someone here as well a few months back. I love it

Finn · 01-24-2008, 02:22 PM

Wow, that's a sharp lens. That reflection of yourself is unbelievable.

I need to get me one of those...

A stunning shot with a superb lens!

The exif indicates f5.6 on both the full and 100% crop and yet you say it was shot at f2.8??

Oops! My mistake!

I was taking pictures@ f/2.8 switched to f/5.6 for a couple of shots and then went back to f/2.8... And completely forgot about that!

Here are comes really f/2.8 picture

And crop — it's not so brutally sharp compared to f/5.6 but still sharp
