Dec 31: New Lens!

Thank goodness for a new lens or I’m not sure I would have bothered with a photo, even on the last day of the challenge.  I think I should have stopped around the time that we moved, so that I wasn’t so burnt out.  These are all straight off the camera, except for the watermark.  They are also shot wide open, just because I wanted to see the pretty creamy bokeh.  So pretty!  I bought this lens on usedcameras.com (just like I did with my mid-range fast zoom lens) and I couldn’t be happier with them!  I highly recommend purchasing used equipment through them.DSC_2424_editDSC_2442_wm

And then to compare my 3 prime lenses.  The biggest difference you’ll notice is the compression.  And for those who aren’t used to looking at photos in detail, take a look at the blur of the cabinets/countertop and the vase.  There isn’t as big of a difference between the 35mm and 50mm, but the 85mm is noticeably different.
