Anyone got one? Or similiar 50mm f/1.8? It seems to cheap to miss. I want to try something with around f/2 or less for portrait photography. Any examples?

Got any examples? I saw some in a mag of a sigma f/1.4, they really complimented harsh lighting.

Sorry that was to John, already have just wondered if I could post?

Rob thats what im aiming for, I get the impression a small dof on someones face would be alot more personal.

I'm using a Canon 400D with NO Photoshopping... only RAW edit.

Would you like me to take a specific image for an example?

Its not Kenso, its Kerso - guy is called Ian Kerr.

I've bought a couple of bits off kit from him, very reputable guy and knocked nearly £300 off the price of my 300mm lens
