First Impressions of the New Lens

Follow up to today's earlier blog...

After a whole 10 minutes of use, I have to say, I'm thoroughly impressed with my choice of lens. 

First thing I noticed....it's got some MASS to it.  Even though it's smaller than the "stock" lens that came with the Rebel XTi, my camera now feels substantially heavier. 

Second thing...WOW, is it fast.  Noticably faster, especially in low light. 

Third... I need to move back!  Even though it's not a zoom, the lens puts me incredibly close to the subject, without getting close to the subject. 

And last... holy cow, can it blur a background:

So for now, two thumbs up!  Poor Steven will have to endure yet another photo shoot.  But at least I won't have to get in his face for a close-up.

Nothing like those wide open aperatures to blur the background.  

Been in the cheap digital point and shoot mode for quite some time now so this brings back some memories.

Flexibility in depth of field is cool.

Very nice lens. Good choice.
