Lark’s Stairwell (Patreon)

The Lark reference is a direct translation of her name in Danish.
Both images were shot with my Canon Dreamlens 50mm ƒ0.95 - at around ƒ1.2 on a Sony NEX-7 APS-C camera, which makes the lens approximately 75mm, and only uses the center of the glass.
Had I used a full frame on this setting, I’d need at least a ƒ1.4 to retain focus beyond 1-1,5m away.

And that is really the reason why I recently invested in a 50mm ƒ1.2 Sigma lens. I still love the Canon dream lens for certain things, but the manual focus and restricted focus at wide open aperture is somewhat restrictive.
The Sigma is a great lens too, but much faster. Definitely not the same dreamy quality, so I’m not getting rid of the Dreamlens anytime soon.
