I got a new lens today in preparation for a photo shoot I have coming up on Monday, weather permitting. It is a Pentax SMCP-FA 50mm f/1.4 Lens.

I was very excited to get this new lens and play with it, so I called a few friends who have just gotten a new puppy. They were happy to let me snap some shots! What I am loving about this lens is it super wide aperture. Compared to my other lens, the opening is enormous! It is allowing me to take better shots inside even without flash. Also, because it lets in so much light, its depth of field is razor sharp, making what is in focus crystal clear, and offering a nice soft blur effect to what is not in focus. Here are a couple shots I got with my new lens!
