Camera: Canon 5Dii & 50mm 1.4 ~ Settings 1/15th – f/3.5 – ISO 2500
I picked up a new lens recently that I had been thinking about getting for quite sometime. I was torn between the Canon 28mm f/1.8 & the Sigma version. I decided to go with the Canon version because of the size and weight (smaller & lighter). The lens performs decent wide open as you can see from the shot of my son bellow, however if you are pixel peeping on some printed letters at 1.8 you might not be all that impressed. With that said, real world use in regular type pictures are all good wide open.
On a side note, the lens came with the filter on it and I am kind of moving away from them at the moment. I was going to just take it off, but thought I might leave it on for a bit and see how I feel. The extra protection is nice, but I think it looks kind of ridiculous with the filter on it haha. I will do a full post on this subject in the future.

Very nice!
Thank you 🙂
Congrats on your new baby…and your son, as I am SURE you know, is adorable! We have a 17 year old and I see these pics and can’t believe how recent it feels he was that age. Sigh.
Well thank you very much! Ya when you have kids the time just ZOOMS by hey! Joshua is almost 5 and it’s unbelievable to me.
isn’t purchasing a new lens fun? I’ve never used a filter so don’t know if I want or need one? Great photo of your son…he is so cute!
Yes Heather new lenses are fun for sure. As for filters, don’t bother. I have never actually bought one my self, but if I got like a 2nd hand lens and it had one then I kept it. That’s how I got in that habit my self, but like I said I am moving away from that.
A good friend of mine also recommended this lens. Might buy one come Black Friday!
Oh nice! Ya get one 🙂 You can get some interesting shots wide open.
Yes, especially that i’m into landscape photos. Looking forward to the pictures you’ll take using this lens!
I too have struggled over the filter issue. In the end I decided not to ever use protective filters. I’ve never had a problem scratching a lens. I do use the lens hoods. What a cool looking bridge.
Yes I always side the hood too. I don’t have one for my 50 1.4 tho, I’m gonna order one today 🙂
