Hey everyone.
I prefer to focus manually. Usually, to make sure my focus is sharp, I zoom all the way in, get it sharp, then frame.
And then I bought a 50mm.
Portraits are fine... can always get the eyes sharp. But for dark rides and whatnot, when I can't fill the frame, and with the lens wide open... I'm having problems focusing on subject. I have 20/20 vision, but I guess I used the zoom lens as a crutch for too long.
Any tips or tricks on how to get accurate with a narrow depth of field?
I'm trying to use my 50mm more, but lately it's been staying in the bag because of this problem I'm having focusing. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
