I have a gut feeling that I will win this lens. I have never felt like this before.

Finally it dawned on me and I sold my Canon T4i kit and made a switch to Pentax K5-IIs and later to K3. I am a hobbyist-photographer, and believe that photography is an art and takes times and effort to perfect. I have been relentlessly reading books on photography and practicing the techniques described therein at the same time. I can see continuous improvement in my composition, exposure, framing, focusing, DOF etc. I find myself lucky to have an adorable seven months old daughter, who is always ready to model for me even when she is sleeping. I take a tons of pictures of her every day. She makes me work hard on my photography skills as she never sits still when she is awake. Most of the shots are indoors and therefore require a fast lens. A fast 50mm f/1.8 autofocus prime lens will be perfect for capturing moments of my baby with extreme clarity and blurry backgrounds.
Few days ago, I was randomly shooting pictures with my K3 and Rokinon 85mm 1.4 when I saw my wife with her eyes closed holding our baby girl, whose eyes were wide open as those of an explorer. She appeared so calm and content and I HAD to capture the moment. I silently stepped away from them and tried my best to focus manually at f/1.4 and pressed the button. I am very happy that I could capture the love and bond between them. I hereby submit this photograph for “50mm Lens Giveaway” and will be thrilled to win this lens, which I will use to take photographs of our growing baby for many years to come.
Thanks for the consideration. :D

I know that this thread is old, but I just acquired this non DG model from Fleabay for $208. I will post some shots when I get it.

which settings did you use to get such great panning shots? Did you manually disable SR?

What a great kit to own. Canon 5D Marc II is a nice camera. I wish pentax offered an affordable full frame camera.

Well, you are not far from Tampa to explore it further. I love EverGlades near Miami. It is a photographers paradise.

Hello all,
I am not a pro, but do photography as a hobby. I started with a Canon T2i few years ago, with 2 standard kit lenses. Sold it, and got a Canon T4i. I was never happy with the way my pictures turned out. Finally, after doing a months of research, I bought a Pentax K5-IIs with DA 35mm 2.4 and DA 50mm 1.8. I am excited about my new purchase and hope that I will a Pentax user for life.
Thanks to you all for helping others and reviewing lenses. Appreciate it.
