EF 50 f/1.8 bokeh/sharpness

Nifty Fifty seems to be the most popular upgrade lens; I decided to shoot 2.2 because someone said 1.8 is not sharp, but after my test I decided to convert to 2.8.

Bokeh (uncropped)
Bokeh f/1.8
Bokeh f/2.2
Bokeh f/2.8
Bokeh f/4
Bokeh f/5.6
Bokeh f/8

100% Crop
Bokeh f/1.8
Bokeh f/2.2
Bokeh f/2.8
Bokeh f/4
Bokeh f/5.6
Bokeh f/8

In conclusion, bokeh is nice from f/1.8-2.8, but loses its dreamy effect after f/2.8 and sharpness is good at f/2.8 and is great at f/4

Canon used to have a 50mm f/0.95

it doesn't have IS, i'm not interested


BTW, test FAIL. Bokeh is not solely dependent on aperture. It's aperture + distance to subject + focal length = bokeh.

Please learn more before you post anything else in this sub-forum as per therealmr. Keep it in POTN.


Also, for your dreamy conclusions here's a POTN translation of this post:

OMG, nice write up. It's dreamy.

Nice try, Sifio. Unfortunately people are just plain dicks. Ignore them, you're doing good with learning by yourself.

As Fainer said, try different distances between you and the subject as well to affect DOF and the bokeh. Use this calculator to help you determine DOF to not get too small of a DOF and to know what to expect at different apertures, focal lengths, and distances from the subject: http://www.dofmaster.com/dofjs.html

He didn't even go out of his way to set up a test. Look at the subject. That is the worst composition to do this type of test.
