[QUOTE="Eye-level, post: 132795, member: 6548"] Very very few fast lenses are sharp from wide open...the ones that are cost a ton of money. To get to this level of performance you need aspherical highly corrected glass. This is why they are so expensive. Examples of such lenses are the Noct Nikkor, Leica Noctilux, and the Canon FD SSC Aspherical's. You will not touch such a lens for less than a 1000 bucks...maybe not even 2000... And as has been said the DOF with these lenses wide open is so razor thin that they are very difficult to use in this manner. [/QUOTE]
