CleanNeon98 · 04-20-2008, 01:55 PM

come on noone has feedback on these??

redline · 04-20-2008, 02:14 PM

Def #1 its more of what the driver would be looking at.

Vypurr · 04-20-2008, 02:15 PM

Not bad. Other than the reflections on the cluster.

Erik · 04-20-2008, 02:19 PM

number 1. although, I think the horn symbols make it look like a dirty steering wheel. as redline said, the driver is looking at the cluster more than the porsche symbol. Plus, its still able to be recognized as a porsche symbol in the first pic. I vote number one without the terrible glare. Good pics though.

YellowMSP · 04-20-2008, 02:23 PM

i like the first better. try a circular polarizer to help get rid of some of those reflections

jspek · 04-21-2008, 03:01 AM

number 2 is better. now if you were maxing the cars speed out, number 1 would be cool.

jh95zenki · 04-21-2008, 06:47 AM

my vote goes for no. 2

i like rice · 04-21-2008, 07:12 AM

with the way you have it framed, #1

BradC · 04-21-2008, 07:41 AM

If you are using it for your job, number one because you can read the odometer and see that the whole display looks functional.

Its a cheap upgrade that will make a huge difference when shooting cars.

95legenddriver · 04-21-2008, 08:22 PM

agreed get a polorizer. I think it would also be allot stronger if it didnt have that awkward vent on the left

Zillon · 04-22-2008, 12:35 AM

Both would be better if the DOF was shallower.

I think that picking up a 50mm f/1.8 lens wouldn't be a bad idea, it'll teach you the ways of bokeh.

05Accent · 04-22-2008, 12:37 AM

i like one.

the thrifty fifty's bokeh is terrible (pentagonal shape), but most can't complain for $75 (plus it has excessive vignetting wide open, soft until stopped down to f/3.5, loud and slow autofocus motor). Better off saving up for the 50 1.4 or 85 1.8 for a smoother bokeh.

Well, for 75 bucks, you can't beat it.

Agreed though, that the pentagonal bokeh sucks... but the DOF is pretty spectacular.
