... few days ago I thought to look into the 24mm f/1.4 - now that they can be had for a bargain.
Haven't ever used one but Frank's statement makes me even more curious.
How is the 24mm f/1.4 for starbursts?

I do not judge this lens on starbursts.


The features I love are:


next to zero geometrical distortion, plain flat field by the book


great transitions


fairy dust effect wide open due to intentionally uncorrected "faults"

Frank such a wonderful dreamy feeling

Thank you Armando and Daniel.


I hope it is OK if I show you the same situation at f/2.8? It is a completely different superhigh precision cool rendering... could even be interesting for Mr Earlewine

very beautiful. I would be tempted to lower the camera position for even better geometry here

Exploring the situation further at f/1.0: How can I create a kind of "definition feel" while the DOF is too shallow to create real definition?
