Good morning.

>>4354265
Good morning, Amazon is just as good as the others, it's from their official store

>>4354267
It took them 7 months to ship me my fucking pliers from Amazon U.K.

>>4354273
Huh really? Weird, I've got it coming tomorrow so we'll see

>>4354249
>85mm prime lens
Why?

>>4354276
I've got 24-70 and a 100-400, I wanted something in-between that for some portrait photography. I almost went for 50mm, but I can always switch to my other lens for that. I like the look of 85mm as well, it just complements really well, and I want to shoot more low light stuff and the best I have right now is 2.8, so it felt like the right lens to get.

But who knows, maybe I will end up hating it

>>4354289
Good choice. I was debating between this (Sigma 85) and the Samyang 85mm f1.4 last year. I went with the Samyang because of a sale they had (got it for $520 or something).

Your Sigma should be slighter sharper and render a bit cooler colors, but also has a bit higher distortion (which is corrected with software anyway).

Prior to getting the Samyang, I'd only used f1.8 at 85mm. Huge difference in bokeh quantity with the f1.4. It's more similar to my 135mm f1.8.

Happy shooting.

>>4354249
congratulations anon, just don't shoot rocks and leaves.

>>4354276
unlike you faggot he shoots female models, stick to rocks and leaves fool

He's shooting leaves and rocks.

What's the point of f/1.4 lenses? Literally nothing is in focus at f/1.4.

>>4358920
Depends how far away the object is. For example, you can shoot a city skyline at night at f1.4 and everything will be in focus (as you are focused at infinity).

>>4358920
Stand further back and stop being an incel adams about DOF. It is ok for landscapes and street to be a little OOF.

f1.8 can shoot group portraits if you're not in someones face

>>4358920
its for holding your camera with one hand 2 ft in front of your face and holding down the shutter and letting the autofocus do all the work and hoping you get 1 in focus
>>4358944
no one shoots street wide open at f1.4 idiot

>>4358920
For shooting things far away with blurry backgrounds. Shoot that at f/2.8 and you still have everything in focus.

I stepped back and he noticed me
here's a crop, I just didn't do it originally because when I originally process that batch I couldn't be assed to apply manual vignetting correction, darktable doesn't have a profile for this lens and I'm too lazy to make one

Pentax secretly has it out of gearfags and is making fun of them by releasing the dumbest shit possible just to see if they'll still buy. It's not really meant to be profitable, it's just a printer company exec's hobby project. All they have to do is make enough money to pay for the very limited R&D - mostly recycled old tech.

This is the portrait lens "real" pentaxians use. SOVL, ala leica (meaning ancient and flawed design that's super compact and has a unique look). No reference to weather sealing but pentax already knows that water always gets past the seals anyways. Gearfags worry about weather sealing and comparing brands over it. It's a marketing gimmick. Photographers put a plastic bag over the thing or try not to get it too wet.

Thats a lot of noise for ISO 800 and maybe missed focus? Or is the $1200 lens that bad

A sad case of good photos turned down by bad digital gear. If he shot this with tri-x 400 pushed 1 stop and vintage glass it would be grainier but look way better... and be $1950 cheaper.

>good photos turned down by bad digital gear.
I don't see how better gear would've helped him, i think you are eating too much shit

the EXIF isn't representative, that's ISO 800 with +3EV in post, so basically ISO 6400
but yes almost certainly missed focus, that's the power of OVF in the dark

I have the later DG HSM OS version of that lens
it's a bit shit at all settings but super fun to use, especially with how close it can focus

>OP keeps posting banger photos while we argue gear
>>4362419
sorry the only film I shoot is 120
show me a medium format 150mm f1.4 for $150 and I'm game
>tri-x pushed 4 stops
interesting proposition

>>4362430
I'm really tempted to get a Pentax 67 for medium format. Maybe I should just give up on film and invest in one of the digital cameras.

Cheers, I'm still getting used to having a prime lens finally, I like that it's forcing me to move around a lot more

If you’re thinking in terms of 35mm, don’t forget you have to convert for equivalents and whatnot. This is the closest you get on the pentacks, and both versions are very highly regarded. For other 6x7s, supposedly add 2 stops to your 35mm lens to get the 6x7 equal.

f1.4 for the lighting conditions in discussion, yeah the DoF/bokeh isn't equivalent
and my MF isn't a Pentax, it's a SQ-Ai (for now)
