Still having fun playing with the 35mm lens, but gee its pretty unpredictable, focus is very hit and miss with my eyes so lets go with a slight icm. I felt mean running at these gulls, just to make them take flight for me. lots of young ones still with their juvenile plumage, the parents squawking madly in indignation..
@blueberry1222 wide open its just all blur and bokeh, hard to get anything properly sharp , i am so used to autofocus, takes a bit of getting used to juggling f-stop and focus ring, but we can learn it together :)
@voiceprintz yes i cant see the screen to tell if its in focus or not, but that is also because the lens has no focus confirm.....my eyes have got rapidly bad since taking up photography, looking through one eye at the sun all the time!
