James-Carey (Dec 1, 2012 at 13:50)

It is the biggest mind fuck trick, as you have to pick, a vert tuck no that is clicked to death, and a dirty 3, or a dumped to shit 3, and an upside down tuck no...

nice trick & nice shot, but wtf f/5.0?!

ericpalmer (Dec 3, 2012 at 6:54)

I was doing some tests before the shoot & the image quality is pretty bad at f/2.8 & was a massive improvement at f/5.0... (that's where primes win seriously) normally I don't worry about it, but decided to on this shoot and it made a big difference (obviously more visible on the full res shot).
