I don't use the fast 50 much, it usually has a long lens mounted.
I use the 50mm f1.4 for shots like this for the most part. These are fossil shark teeth.
The camera is usually cleaner but it spends a lot of time in swamps.
Your Sony looks like it was designed by M. C. Escher.
Little story/quandry..
I’ve got a Canon XSi, 12 mp. 18-55mm, 55-250mm kit quality lenses.
Went to the camera store yesterday to get a wireless remote to catch a fox lurking in my yard at night.
I’ve been jonesing an L zoom tele lens as the kit lenses are soft.
Anyway, the salesman drags down the new Sony A-57 and A-65 cameras.
Wow. they do it all! Internal panorama stitching, up to 12 Frames/sec. 1080p movies. The mirror doesn’t move, it’s semi-coated and works kinda like a teleprompter. Advantage is you can see through the lens when other makes lock the mirror up, multi shots, etc.
16 and 24 mp respectively. Internal stabilization so you can use lenses w/o.
Can use any Minolta auto focus lens from yrs. past.(I don’t have any though)
So for about the same money I could switch brands.
I’ve been a Canon man since my Rebel G days. It gathers dust now. Haven’t used it since going digital.
Decisions, decisions.
