Love the first, great DoF. Having the complete flower in focus and the background all out of focus is perfect. And to me the other two just seem kinda plain. The last one being better/ more appealing but just doesn't do much for me. My favorite lens to shoot with is my manual 50 f/1.4 to be honest. I love shooting with that on my FM2. Course I have the new nikkor 50 f/1.4 af for my d80, love that one too. Yeah, 50mm's are easily my fav to shoot with.

Yea, I didn't like the other two, I almost deleted them but someone told me they were good so I said whatever and kept them.

I wish mine was 1.4/f but it's a 1.7/f, I guess one stop isn't gonna kill me.

I just wish I could use AF, at times MF is a pain to use. My favorite thing about it though is the manual aperture, I love it.

Not even 1 stop, just 2/3 of a stop.

That's still 66% more light then the stop above.

I really like the first one.. In the 2nd one, I think it would have been better if you had put the whole "car" into the picture, but the left side is missing a little bit..

Aw that's too bad its MF. I like the first shot though, it's well done!

Beautiful pics.

I tried to have mostly just the seat and the steering wheel in focus but that didn't work out so great, the light was bad and I had to shoot at 1/30 shutter speed and it's all a bit blurry because of it.

nah I didn't mean the focus I just meant that the whole "car" isn't in the picture...
