Bokeh Bunny (FD 55mm f1.2)
A shot taken with my 55mm f1.2 lens. Still using live view to accurately focus as it can be a nightmare!
This is definitely my favourite lens and I think it is because it is so difficult (for me) to control. With the lens being manual focus, it really feels like you are taking a photo rather than the camera taking a photo. So when I get a shot that I think is acceptable I feel like I have achieved more... If that makes sense? Don't get me wrong, my other gear is sharper and produces far better images with less colour fringing, but I didn't buy this lens to shoot at anything other than f1.2 really!
