    Do I need to replace my lens?

    I haven't really done alot of testing on the lens stopped down to f1.8 or f2. Just got the lens during last weekend. Hearing from the feed back I was expecting the lens to be a lot sharper even at wide open. Maybe I was expecting too much. That's why wanted to ask all the seniors here if that...

    Do I need to replace my lens?

    Hi daredevil123, will head down NSC to ask them to help me double check on the back focusing. If my camera indeed is back focusing, it will result in the 50mm being soft? Cos I look at the image taken and I don't really see any part that is sharp....

    Do I need to replace my lens?

    I did crop but I didn't do any post processing. The image was about 3mb and I couldn't upload such a big image so I cropped the center portion of the image, the part that I focused on. The shutter speed was already set the 1/200. I used auto focus

    Do I need to replace my lens?

    i see. but i didn't resize the image and i cropped the part where i focused so i thought it would be alright. Does shooting in broad daylight help? i already switch on the flash so there should be ample light. those pictures was taken straight from the camera with out any processing. So just to...

    how do i get this kind of effect

    so essentially i have to set the shutter as a slow speed and pan my camera to follow the subject to achieve the motion feel and also to use flash and set it to rear-sync so that i can freeze the subject. That right?
