Halo,
I have been using 150mm for beauty work with P65+ and I found the DOF is very narrow. I dont like to crop and my usual composition is head and shoulder, some only face and neck.
If the model is facing 45 degree left or right, I cant get both eyes sharp ( the eyes further from the camera is out of focus). Even slight angle will make the face out of focus. I shoot at F11-16 and still I have this problem
I am thinking to get 210 AF IF or 300 APO AF IF. With the minimum distance of 2 and 3M, will i be able to get close enough for face close up without cropping? Will the longer focusing distance improve DOF? Which one should I get?
I want the lens to give me nice reach and DOF. great sharpess, color rendition, 3D, and contrast.
Thanks,
Dan Santoso
