Congrats on the lens! Keep posting pics! Narrow depth-of-field is mmm mmm tasty.

it's amazing how 'creamy' this little thing it. the focus fades in and out so smoothly though, its hard to see the transition while in the viewfinder though
example
just all the way backed out...
like i said, car is crazy dirty. not getting any extra water on there than necessary though
those are pretty much all i got with the new one

Gorgeous shots...I actually took off my lense and tried wiping all the surfaces down as recommended by you guys. Hope I got all the dust off.
2 things...
who are those mexicans living across the street from you?
do I need to swing by your house with a tie wrap for that bottom bumper garnish you have hanging off!?!?
Also, 225's are fine...looks like you could even have gone 215 and have decent rim protection...hey, lighter and less patch on the ground for road noise.

Yeah, that lens is badass. Now that you've gotten me in the mood, I'll clog up your thread with some of my favorite 50mm shots:
So crisp...

John how do you get such crisp shots? Mine are clear but NEVER as clear as yours.

I usually sharpen them up a little in PS and tweak some other settings to my liking. It helps!

jesus john those are like 10x the cost! gosh i hate looking through online stores...make me feel so poor lol.

idk, i think for 16$ + shipping its worth it. tyler had some nice shots through it!
edit: sorry, $11! shit is cheap!
One of my photo students brought this wide-angle lens to class and I tried it. I was impressed enough with the few shots I took that I ordered my own lens from Amazon.
I tested mine on a Nikon digital SLR with an 18-55mm zoom lens and on a Canon G5 compact digital camera with a 35mm to 140mm zoom lens (35mm equiv). On the Nikon, this wide-angle lens expanded the wide-angle coverage of the 18mm focal length to something wider than 14mm. On the Canon, this wide-angle lens expanded the wide-angle coverage of the 35mm focal length to slightly wider than 28mm. The macro portion of this lens was similar in performance to my +10 diopter supplemental close-up lens (also called a close-up filter by some).
After additional shots and tests, I can say without reservation--this lens produces decent quality wide-angle images and the macro portion produces decent quality close-up images. Yes, there is some darkening of the corners of the image (vignetting) and there is significant curving of straight lines (barreling) and there is some loss of detail on the edges. However, this lens is a great bargain and I will highly recommend it to future students.

It's not amazing but it's not terrible either.
Mine still autofocuses just fine
One day I'll have a real wide angle lens

Yeah, it's not as clear as a true wide angle lens. You get what you pay for

If you know you're going to be going to a meet or have a scheduled photoshoot and don't want to spend money on buying a new lens, go this route!
