Re: Zack (early morning) Thanks Chris. Yes, I could take a little more off the top. The original does have noise, and in b/w would not be objectionable. I do like to add grain to some portraits. I should have applied a touch more for this size as it is not real noticable. Original from camera, same crop as above. Sharpened for web.
Simon. Hard to beat some early morning light coming through big windows.
Re: Zack (early morning) Thanks Mark. Yes it is the 50/1.4. It is not a bad lens and will do until I can plunk some cash for an L. (24&50)
Focus ring on these is not the tightest, so at 1.4 you can be a little hit and miss. +17 for micro focus adjustment on the MK3. In contrast my 24-70/2.8 is a 0.
