40mm | Mike Hope on Redondo Beach

Just started testing the Sony A7rii with Canon 40mm and other Canon L series lenses. One thing I love about this little lens, apart from the price, is the sharpness and quality. On the Sony A7rii when I zoom in to crop there is still so much clarity. Also, there is very little chromatic aberration with this one. Not sure if I can get a lens hood but this is sure to be a new walk around. I don’t know if it’s just me but the angle appears to be more along a 24 to 35mm on this Sony. I’ll have to do some comparisons and let you know…

A Pier Two by Mike-Hope

Hi all,

Thought you might like to take a look at this one. I took a shot of an ornamental gift clock / weigh machine in a great curio shop in Lake Arrowhead. Hand held with the Canon EOS-M and a 40mm lens on f/2.8 in low light so I could get a narrow depth of field and natural look. Then I applied some oil paint effects in post to give it the oiled canvas look, adjusting light contrast etc., as I went. Let me know what you think?
