I did nothing Azz, the very shallow DoF means that whatever you are focused on is automatically going to stand out from the background ...

Hopefully will get out this weekend , Saturday is supposed to be good weather and I may be able to try it properly

Re: Canon 50mm f1.8 II - Anybody got one

DJ - Do you ever use this lens wide open? I was just lookin at the EXIF data (thanks Bazza ) and the aperture ranges from f2.5 - f5. Is it very soft wide open?

For the images I posted , it was not necessary for me to shoot with the lens wide open, nor would the small depth of field at such close distance be very desirable.
Yes, I have taken many pics with this lens wide open, especially on my visits to France.
I've not noticed any loss in image sharpness shooting wide open

Re: Canon 50mm f1.8 II - Anybody got one

I im thinking of buying one too and now I am even more excided, because you are all so satisfied with it. I have decided and I am going to order one today... 100 euro (that`s the price in Slovenia) is how much in your money? Does anybody know, how is with shipping from GB to Slovenia or other countrys in Europa?

Re: Canon 50mm f1.8 II - Anybody got one

I think it'll be cheaper in other parts of Europe Tullika - the UK is known to be a rip off!!

Let us know how you get on and we look forward to seeing your pics taken with it
