Fiddln' with a Fifty · 05:16 PM

Yesterday, I took my new DFA 50 "around the block" at Brazosport College on a warm, sunny afternoon. it's always fun "breaking in" a new lens, and this time was no exception! Here are some example shots.

Cool shots - you're really getting the hang of this lens

Nice. DFA 50 is pretty sharp and the color rendition is awesome as well.

Are you finding the flare-resistance good?

Nice shots, great lens.

Thank you. It's a handy little lens that doesn't cost very much.

I'm not sure what you mean by "good", but I did notice some flare when I pointed into the sun. Pretty much what I'd expect, I suppose.
