28mm f/1.8 lens examples

[steve_mitchell2]

I have seen plenty of reviews of this lens but not seen sample pics made with

this lens. Can anyone share pics taken with this lens in low light

situations? I am taking pictures at parties using ambient light but need

something wider angle than my 50mm 1.4. I would like to see how the 28mm

f/1.8 compares and am not sure about wanting to invest in the $1k plus f/1.4

lenses.

 

thx,

Steve

here is a picture. around 2.8 from - I hope it can provide some info. I love this lens on my 1DII.

 

Performance is very good around F2 and on I usually use it wide open for night time shooting. I'll try to post some pics.<div></div>

Sorry. I was never too keen on pixel-peeping.

 

Happy shooting,

that helps tremendously.... I was trying to decide if I would save up for the 24mm f/1.4 or get the 28mm f/1.8 at 1/3 the price. Considering the differences, I think I go the less expensive route as this will can be accomplished sooner. (I believe in the saying: "The worst picture is one not taken.")

 

thanks again

I got a 28 1.8 recently and have been very pleased with it. Some of the reviews I found online were luke-warm to it, but it's nice and sharp, quickly focuses and useable in low light. Compared well against my 85 1.8 in terms of sharpness (although the 85 was slightly sharper on the edges). If you need the very slight gain in aperture with the 1.4, otherwise I'll bet you'd be happy with the 28 1.8.
