I am in the middle of producing a slideshow reviewing some of our best work during 2007. Some of my favourite images were produced using a lens which we got last year - the 50mm f1.2.
This is such a great prime lens. It just gives sharp images time after time after time. I love it for doing detail shots - the fade off into the background is amazing and makes for some really effective images.
This is has become my favourite lens by far - but we're currently saving the pennies for an 85mm f1.2, so next year I may well have a new favourite!
These are two images from a wedding back in November which give you an idea of how beautiful the drop-off is using the 50mm at 1.2.
I'm hoping to add to my growing kit even more this year with some other lenses, lighting and maybe some other gadgets which are not necessary but have me drooling nonetheless.
So just in case any of you are - like me - sad techy geeks, I'll keep you informed of all my major purchases in 2008 (please don't snore at the back!!)
