Randomosity: 50MM F/1.4 and 80-200MM

[ANDS!]

Shots from Saturday. Just got 50MM F/1.4 and the 80-200MM. Loving both of them.

An old man at a gas station. I have no idea what he is staring at so intently. Possibly the friend I was with.



The friend. Sneaking a cigarette and doing her best "Dick Cheney" impression.



Lil Miss Maya at Capoiera.



Some runny nosed kid.




Dive bar. That F/1.4 shines.





Friday night with the 80-200MM. Got a ticket for hanging around the park after hours.

Wow, some amazing shots. Which were with the 80-200 and which were with the 50mm?

My favorites are 1, 3, and 9.

The first, and the third and second to last were taken with the 80-200MM. All others were hit with the 50MM.

Might be crazy to say so, but I dig the 80-200 much much more than the 50MM (which is now my second favorite lens of all lenses I have).

Yea, I've seen some awesome pics with that lens. I'm currently saving up for it.

I would say it is most definitely worth it. Although it is heavy as hell (heavier than the D300), and it is going to take a lot of practice to reign the beast in, however the learning curve seems to be the same as with the 105MM macro lens (just much heavier).

 

[anubis404]

Yup. My biggest problem will be getting it to fit in my bag. I've gotten mixed answers from 80-200 owners. Is it really 7.6 inches? That seems a little small for a big lens.

 

[ANDS!]

The lens is about 8 inches. It is in no way small. People can see this lens coming a mile away.
