Canon lens test: 50mm F1.4 vs. 28mm f1.8

Meet our Diamond Doves!  They (& their cage) are helping me out with this test. :)  Basically I just turned my desk chair around to shoot these photos.

Shot using ambient light.  Only artificial light is from computer monitor approximately 5 feet away from cage.  There are two skylights (one right overhead, the other across the room), a sliding glass door (seen in the photo below) and three other windows in the room.  However, it is after 4pm here on the East coast & getting darker.  The images make the cage &  room look much brighter than they are.


50mm lens wide open at f1.4.  3200 ISO
Because of the darkness in the room the lens had a problem focussing on the birds (auto-focus used) and so concentrated on the cage.



28mm lens wide open at f1.8.  ISO at 3200 again.
