Just got a 17-40 from wife as a Christmas gift.

I am not particularly like this lens in terms of sharpness and color comparing to my beloved 50mm. But I will trying to learn how to shoot wide angle stuff. Here are a fews photos from the first outing with my new lens to share with you.

you have a good wife~~~

Nice and sharp, but the pics seem a little under-exposed, and it looks like you could play with the WB a bit to get some better colours.

But damn, I wish I have a wife like that~

Kaka: yes, she is pretty sweet 3/4 of a month and telling me to buy more lens. She is tried of the 50mm look.

Matt: I only went there to grocery shopping there. It is a million dollar neighborhood. But we should meet up to do street shooting.

Thanks Liks.

As for underexposed, they are all sooc from Lightroom 2.  It was a very contrasty afternoon, I already blow some highlights as it.  It could also be my bad monitor.

As of now, I am not really digging this f4 lens.  Almost no dof, almost has an iphone look to it. Should I try 24 1.4 instead?

go full frame if you want dof
or just get closer to your object

when you shoot from that far away, you pretty much want everything in focus anyway

unfortunately I don't have an external viewfinder so it's really a pain for me to shoot wide angle

作者: ricrick 時間: 2011-1-12 16:14

bad/good thing about the wide angle is objects that far away become even farther and small
lens distortion is another issue to consider

when you use a wide angle, you do want to get really close to fill up your whole frame.

as for distortion, I actually think it's a lovely feature

sometimes, you can't get close to your object. for example, if you want to use a wide angle lens to shoot a nice and wide landscape with a full moon in the middle, the moon will be freaking small. the outcome may be not as good as you see with ur eyes

distortion applies to human face is a diaster

作者: supersuper 時間: 2011-1-12 17:38

distortion on wide angle lens became a style now.

anyway, i was playing around with the lightroom 3, and the lens profile worked really well, removed the distortion on my picture with just 1 click.

I will probably get a 24mm summilux eventually.

Put your subject in the middle. The effect is awesome. I used to do this for full length Portraits a lot.

I am also a wide angle fan. Much prefer wide look than long look.

The distortion of using a wide for close up portrait and lead to funny (unappealing) effects

It's generally unpleasant (e.g. making the nose alot bigger)

Also good for "shoot from the hip" Love

作者: Look4chrisng 時間: 2011-1-12 22:23

cowboy, I was about 1 ft from the senor couple, and shooting full frame. It is the nature of these ultra wides (all photos were in 17-20mm range) I guess you will need medium format cameras to get wide/thin dof look. Maybe that is the reason people are still stooding medium format film.

umm...I don't have a lens that wide so I am not sure. On my 25mm, focusing at 1 feet at f4 would only give you a focus range between 0.5 to 2 feet.

and not sure what camera you use, but you can also hyper focus to have a shallower background
