The sharpness curse!

[Viggo]

Thanks mackgyver! In really happy as well, I have been waiting for a epic 50 since I bought my first camera and to finally have it and actually see it gives me the results I wanted every single time is the best feeling.

And a snapshot at breakfast turns into a fun memory and a picture where I don't notice the flaws if the lens, but the cuteness in my daughter ;D

Hate me for loving that 1.4 sharpness, I REALLY don't care

Great photo of your beautiful daughter - turning a "snapshot" into a true photograph! I don't hate you for wanting the sharpness wide open - I'm sure nearly all 50L owners would be beyond excited if Canon came out with a 50L II that was razor sharp at f/1.2!

+1 Exactly! And then they would forget about the previous L "unique" characteristics and they would enjoy their new sharp 50mm L lens ;D

I'm sure there will be some, but If I need a 50mm, I'll use the focal length on a zoom. This year i've had a prime lens consolidation, selling my 50L, 24IIL, TS-e 45 lenses. I even sold my Siggi 12-24 too. I just wasn't using them any longer and they were expensive assets to have lying around the house gathering dust.
My wedding mojo works well with a smaller kit than before. So i'm being really well served with my 16-35IIL, 35L and 85IIL. I take along a 70-200 f2.8 LIS II and 24-70L for the reception speaches but that's pretty much my regular kit. For landscapes I use a 16-35IIL, TSe 17L, 24-70L, 70-200 f2.8 LIS II and tele converters with a 100mm macro LIS for occasional use. I currently have no shooting need for a 24IIL or a 50L.

Hi,
Everyone got their personal preference... some like extreme sharp lens, some like lens which might not be the sharpest lens, but produce an unique look, some like lens that produce smooth bokeh, some might like the pentagon bokeh certain lens produce, some also like the donut bokeh mirror lens produce (must be quite an interesting image if use a mirror lens to shoot a donut... all the bokeh are also in donut shape... ha ha ha), some even like the result of lens that produce all sorts of aberration on the image... there is no right or wrong answer in photography and IMHO, it's this type of diversity which produce those interesting images... just imagine if every images we saw is extreme sharp, clear and all give the same look, then it's must be very boring after a while...

Have a nice day.

That is *really* sharp. What software did you use for PP? Any unsharp mask used?

I just use Lr for the fullsize images, but when I resize I use NIK output sharpener plug in in Photoshop.
