New lens and bad camera news

Today I received a newly purchased lens.  I got a 50mm f1.4 lens for a low light and walk around lens.  I have been wanting one for a while and finally had the money to get it.

After experimenting with the extremely limited depth of field with f1.4 I find out that some of the pixels in my camera are dying.  So now it is time to start saving some money and get a more professional camera.  I am currently looking to get the Nikon D700.  So I am disappointed now because the bike money I WAS saving is going to be put into a new camera.  So no more new frames for me I am going to be stuck with the Grand Failures for now. :(

The leaves that are out of focus around the beetle are only a few inches away.  So this shot’s exposure was 1/4000, f1.4 iso 100.  I am finding that focus is critical at f1.4 because of the LIMITED depth of field that the lens has.
