Glass – 07. Vivitar 70-210mm F4.5-5.6 | Sample 3
The lens is also useful for candid, walkabout photos like this one.

Glass – 07. Vivitar 70-210mm F4.5-5.6 | Sample 2
Here’s a shallow depth of field “macro” close-up from around 1m distance. At 70mm the shot is wide enough to capture some of the surroundings as well as the subject.

Glass – 07. Vivitar 70-210mm F4.5-5.6 | Test
Sharpness is slightly worse than tha 50mm but for my purposes, it’s a nice lens and a good one to use as a backup, and its minimum focusing distance is smaller than the Tamron making it useful for closeups of close subjects.

Glass – 07. Vivitar 70-210mm F4.5-5.6 | Overview
Another lens that was gifted to me from someone getting rid of old cameras. It’s slightly disappointing that the range only reaches 210mm and not 300mm as with my Tamron. On the upside, the lens has a macro feature which makes up for the range.

GLASS – 06. Canon 50mm F1.8 | Sample 3
Portrait macro really seems to work with this lens. Again, here is that wide perspective and background separation.

Here I again played with the wider angle and the depth of field to put this roof of a greenhouse in a new perspective.

GLASS – 06. Canon 50mm F1.8 | Sample 1
I tried to test this lens with nature photography which is one of my favourites. As an added challenge, I tried taking photos just after sunset, when it’s too dark for most of my other lenses but not so much this one. I think the ISO here was 1600 – you can see a bit…

GLASS – 06. Canon 50mm F1.8 | Test
The sharpness is much better than most of my old SLR lenses which is more than enough for me. At this distance, around 1.5m, the depth of field is large enough to keep the subject fully in focus. Given a greater distance between subject and background, the separation would be very clear.

GLASS – 06. Canon 50mm F1.8 | Overview
This is the third and final of my automatic lenses – it’s also a very popular one. The 50mm focal length is very versatile and can be used for most “walk-around” shots, portraits, home photos and even travel shots. The large aperture makes it great for pictures and filming in low light too. Its also…
