Steph, you'll like the P more with every additional pic you take. I went up the cog railway to Mt Washington last weekend, and took my P with the 35/2. I also had my 7s with 50/1.2 that never came out of the bag. I'm fond of the 7s, it's a great shooter, but the P does have a better feel, at least in my hands.Stephanie Brim said:I'm not a big flash person anyway (the lighting thing or the program, to be honest), so I prefer fast lenses. I'd be in heaven if CV would make the 35/1.2 in LSM. I'd also like to find the Canon 50/1.2 eventually if I decide this is the camera for me. 🙂

While some people give it terrible marks for sharpness/contrast, most will tell you it's not bad. And noone uses it stopped down.
jlw said:I do... okay, for this picture I didn't stop it down much (about f/1.1 or f/1.2) but I've certainly used it at more moderate apertures. Otherwise, whaddaya gonna do -- change to another 50 if the light improves?!

Shocking but true: At least in my crude, informal "tests," the 50/0.95 is sharper at f/5.6 than the 50/1.4 at the same aperture!
Unfortunately, stopping it down doesn't make it any smaller, or lighter, or make it obstruct less of the viewfinder. But as Harry says, if ya need it (or just like it) ya live with the consequences...
Stephanie Brim said:Also, out of curiosity, what filter size does the 50/1.8 take? I'd like to get a yellow filter and a polarizer, but I don't know what size to get. 😛
