It's 48mm equivalent which is in the "normal" range. The AF can be unpredictable at times, so flick the switch to MF when you're doing video. At 1.4 the DOF is so shallow its impossible. At 2.8...

Isn't there a rule of thumb for these lenses where the sharpest focus is 2-3fstops of either end? For an F2.8 its sharpest between 5.6 and 11? I've never gone as high as F14-22 on this lens. ...

Just another test of the blackbird. No more uncontrolled leaning. My walk has a bit of bob to it on this one but it's much better than my first flights.
