Yesterday I bought a new lens for my digital Canon camera. It’s fixed focal length of 35 mm, comparable to the old analogue 50mm lenses. Because of the f/2.0 it’s still pretty usuable in dark places as well. Combined with the fact that it can shoot photos from 25cm it makes it in my eyes the ideal lens for baby photography.

The photo above was shot at f/2.0 and 1/50 sec to give it a nice bokeh. The blurs on the left and right are the trellis of her bed, giving the picture that extra 3D effect.
