Canon 50mm 1.2 prime lens is ideal for senior pet photography

This fine evening shoot was spent with a precious mutt named Gracie! She is in her golden years now and is totally chill and calm about 90% of the time. Unless mom pulls out a pink squeak toy. That sets her off playing like a puppy. The sun was setting and darkness was upon us, but that does not stop this beast of a lens to perform magic. The 50mm 1.2 L lens is a heavy (yikes it’s hard core for weak wrists-not me!) bokeh beast. Most of the shots were taken at f1.2. And some are a bit ‘soft’. Ugh. This lens is also unfortunately slow to focus. And I knew this from the start. But kinda was in denial a little and then forgot as I get excited to shoot the perfect shot with such an amazing lens. Frustrating. The bad? Heavy. Slow to focus. Soft at 1.2. The good? Perfect for senior pets who are static and just chill and don’t move much. Bokeh is superb. Image quality is L quality. Gorgeous. Unfortunately this magical lens will be a renter for me. I will choose not to buy this guy after all. And that’s just super duper ok with me. I’m still very pleased with these images. SOOC. No edits yet. Can’t wait to see the final results.
