Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM with Wide-angle/Macro filter on

Jane's Birthday and Kev's visit-34, originally uploaded by Mervin Chiang.

I took this with my newly acquired (second hand, thanks Kev!) 50mm prime lens. I made a tweak to the lens configuration by putting on one of those wide-angle/macro filter attachments Desmond gave me. It brings the lense to a more palatable 40mm and when the front attachment is off, it turns into a pretty decent macro lense.

I can visibly see any loss in quality. Only downside is that if I go down to f/1.4 the focus is so soft that it is often not usable. This was taken at f/1.8 and is still pretty decent. I found that the sharpest starts at f/2.8.

I did some tests on my MechWarrior figurines. Will post the test shots if I ever get to it...
