Hi!
Michael, the b/w version is less unsuccessful than the original
color one. Yet both seem (at least to me) to lack the evident point
of focus. It is customary to have at least one eye of a portrayed
person to be in focus. You seem to have both out of focus.
Yes, that's an ongoing problem. Low-light focusing with a manual
focus lens. I recently purchased a homemade split screen, but it
doesn't seem to work well with my FA or DA lenses and autofocus. Any
suggestions?
Assuming you can re-shoot, I suggest you do just that - shoot
again. Also my experience with shooting (my daughter) with FA
50/1.7 lens is that for such kind of portraits f/4 is just about
the best. It gives enough DOF without getting too much of it.
Okay, thanks for the tip! I'll try shooting with more light next
time. :)
