Tell me the true. How much time did you wait for the correct position in the last pic??

Well, it's a very nice pic !!!!

Rino

5 minutes and 4 shots to line it up right.

I should have stopped down a bit to get the people sharper.

I crossed over to the Darkside!! I managed to purchase this for a really good price , about the same as a Tak 85/1.8 , too bad it only works on my EOS body

Taken with 2 100W houselights , a home made softbox out of foamcore, an old slate tile , and some christmas wrapping paper found within reach oh and a Super Multi Coated Tak 50mm/f1.4 at f2.8

This may sound like a silly question. But I here nothing but good things about the SMC tak 55 1.8 but see so many great photos with the super tak 55-2 . Are they closer in performace than I am led to believe?

They are almost identical in performance. The glass and optical formula should be identical, only the max aperture opening is slightly different in size. I think the f1.8 vs f2.0 was only just a marketing gimmick to price one slightly more than the other. Same thing with the Auto Tak 55/2.0 vs 55/2.2.

Mike, its the -3C part that gives us the great colours unfortunately!

not good miniskirt weather

2 things about your shot , first it looks as if she has no pants or skirt on, lol, and is the bottom part lit up by teh white fluorescent display? it looks cool, very 2001 ish

Okay so these may not be the most amazing photos you've ever seen, but I am pretty pleased with how they came out considering how hard it is to get a proper focus using the 85 on my K-x with no additional help (no split screen, no magnifier, no live view). These were mostly stopped down to about 5.6, if I recall correctly.

Note that photos were shot as raw, and because this was one of my first real attempts at using Lightroom, I felt pretty free to blast away with the sliders and cropping.

All of the outside photos were shot using the 85/1.9. All inside photos (except for maybe the first 1 or 2 were shot using the DA40. Here's the full gallery:

It does, but they get lost in the translation.

Luv the Mickey D shot. BTW, what does a big mac cost in Japan (in USD)? Just curious because when I lived in Germany in the mid-80's, a big mac was about $4.50 USD, when it was only $1.65 in the states. I haven't had a big mac in 25+ years.
