Sysadmin Field Notes

Don't like the 28mm f/1.8

October 14, 2007

Gruber likes the 28mm. I really never got used to it and just sold mine. The problem is the depth of field, it's just too big. It never "felt" like my trusty 50mm, even if on my Rebel the 50 is cropped more like an 85mm.

The 1.6 sensor factor already deepens your depth of field, and the wider lens even more so. For me, either on full frame (aka film) or 1.6 sensor, 50mm is where it's at.

Unless someone wants to send me a 35mm f/1.4 L. I'd give that a shot.
