A fantastic new lens arrived today …
a Brightin Star 35mm f/0.95 marvel. Surprisingly inexpensive (Leica’s Noctilux 50mm f/0.95 goes for $14,400 … !) the key number here is the f/0.95 …
which means this lens can let in a *lot* of light.
Take the two zeros off that Noctilux price, and $144 is still more than I paid for the Brightin Star.
That huge aperture lets you shoot subjects with a very shallow depth of field … which does wonders for separating them from the background.
Pic #1: shot at f/11.0
Pic #2: shot at f/0.95
I was helping a friend today, so all I was able to shoot was this quick test. I think it works.
:blobaww:
This is sooooo much fun, I can’t begin to tell you.
