Just doing this quick post for my own learning purposes. So here are some image samples comparing two Sony A7 cameras, one with the Minolta 50mm f/1.4 and Sony adapter, the other with a Canon EF 50mm f/1.2L with Sigma adapter. The Canon 50mm is obviously meant for my R cameras and DSLRs since it’s […]

Thanks to Krista for coming out on another random Wednesday photo hangout! Didn’t shoot too many portraits outside, as it has been 100 degrees in Atlanta this week.

More photo samples of the Canon EF 50mm f/1.2 in low and ambient light conditions. I think this lens really shows its strengths when the light levels drop (and there are not too many highlights in the scene that will cause purple fringing). Sure far off city lights on the edge of the frame turn […]
