These look very nice. The EXIF shows f2. Do you have any samples at f1.2?

Morris

Thank you. I appreciate the compliment.

Yes, I used f2 aperture to take pictures,

Because I am afraid that the depth of field will be too shallow when taking portraits.

Next time I shoot I will try to shoot with the widest aperture and get some samples.

That's why I purchased the Fuji 50mm f2.0 :-}

In Gouda, Netherlands. Bought the lens last week in a reputable camera store. Is it worth keeping, do you think?

Pride of place at the entrance for the porters.

Alley behind the St. Jan Cathedral.

I have the same 50mm f2 lens too,

I think it is indeed a shining jewel.

Yes birds in the swallow family are very fast and maneuverable. You did well

Thank you.

I really enjoy this little 70-300. I get sharper shots than with my previous Oly 100-400

Thank you Morris. I was impressed how well the X-H2S stuck to them when I was able to keep them in the frame. Keeping them in the frame is the hard part

. More practice required.

That's sad for the Oly and/or you have gotten better.

Fast indeed. I spent a couple of hours a few years back at a colony of them, trying to photograph them with an XF55-200 on an X-Pro1. Ended up zone focusing and praying

. Didn’t get anything satisfactory .

i must go back this year and try again with my upgraded kit.

nicely caught, btw.
