I do love the images I'm getting from the 50/1.4 on the 6D, but only
when stopped down. That is compared to the 4/3 bodies which allow me
to go almost wide-open, except for the lack of accurate focus as the
sensor plane and the focus-screen plane are not matched. The 50/1.4 is
still best on an OM body with B&W film, though. :)

Thank you. Just expressing what I'm seeing and sensing. Obviously,
it's wrong some of the time, but hey, you get what you pay for.

I'm not sure that I'm experiencing any particular color smearing, but
I have seen, on a couple of occasions a color-cast shift towards the
corners. My thoughts are that this is related to the greater angle
(hence increased attenuation) through the IR and UV filter stack.

As I've said before, the 6D has the soul of a cargo van. It's not a
fun camera to use. It's a very good camera, but totally lacks that
"you wanna go play?" spirit. I'm reminded of the old song Alfie by
Burt Bacharach. In so much of photography there is that element of
love (of subject, of equipment, of process, of shooting, of whatever)
that brings more to life than just existing. I will gladly take flaws
and problems as long as there is love.


Burt Bacharach – Alfie Lyrics

What's it all about, Alfie
Is it just for the moment we live
What's it all about when you sort it out, Alfie
Are we meant to take more than we give
Or are we meant to be kind
And if only fools are kind, Alfie
Then I guess it's wise to be cruel
And if life belongs only to the strong, Alfie
What will you lend on an old golden rule
As sure as I believe there's a heaven above, Alfie
I know there's something much more
Something even non-believers can believe in
I believe in love, Alfie
Without true love we just exist, Alfie
Until you find the love you've missed you're nothing, Alfie
When you walk let your heart lead the way
And you'll find love any day, Alfie, Alfie
