New Lens = Legend

WARNING: NERDY PHOTOGRAPHER GEARSPEAK AHEAD!

A new Sigma 50mm 1.4 graced me with its arrival earlier today. So you know what that means! You get a picture of me!

The lens is epic. Its nearly one stop faster than my old 50mm 1.8, two stops faster than the 35-70 it replaces, and a whopping 4 stops faster than my 18-135. It is also 'uge (thats so huge you drop the 'h'), which you can see in the above photo.

I love the depth of field: shallow even at 5 feet:
The focus is also really quiet. And fast. And quiet.
But my favorite part of it is the bokeh. Those who know me well know that choppy bokeh that recreates the background drives me crazy. This lens has the smoothest bokeh ever. Its awesome. Science has proved its awesomeness.

Looking back, I'm really suprised I managed to get three different animals into one post.

Look for more later!
