Actually that isn't why since wide aperture photos have been taken since the early 1900s, but this debate has been going on every buying stuff thread so no point digging it up again as it's insufferable :p

A couple of months ago my daughters mate was telling her about looking at photographers work for her wedding and every one of them had out of focus photographs. I told her to tell her mate that if she is paying she tells the photographer that she wants all photos in focus - easy peasy. A bit like booking a Disco, tell them what you want and leave the stobes & dry ice at home.
 
With an attitude like that you're forcing her to either never have a modern day wedding photographer or get someone who isn't worth their salt if they're allowing themselves to be pushed around.

Good luck...
 
Mrk, don't spend any more time debating. Either people like your work or they don't, there are no pleasing everyone in the world, even Michelangelo has his haters (I am not saying I am him!). But I am happy with my pictures, most of the time!

Does that not give you a headache sitting so close to it?

I was worried that it would to be honest but I played the division from about 4pm - 11pm with a few hours break and it was completely fine.

Only think to be concerned about is the brightness, so either keep the lights on when playing, or keep the lights off but turn the brightness down.

Fantastic purchase so far :)

It's not that, why would you want such a shallow depth of field when taking a picture of an item. You should use it to isolate the item from the surroundings, not isolate it from the picture completely!
 
You guys are way over thinking it.

I placed it all on the table, took a photo of it...because of at 1.4 and already at 800 ISO and hand held camera over my head at 50mm lens I was like..hmmmm this is difficult to get composition and focus right without looking through the viewfinder as I was letting the camera auto focus and how do I show the model of Dyson that i got in 1 single shot?

I know! So I pushed box into corner, moved focus point into corner and bam.

You know what I bought. Job done, it says there right on the box. And you can make out what I bought, and it's not like a Dyson is something that exotic and rare.

I also at least opened the box, some people just take photos of the box unopened and nobody start a back and forth debate about "we don't have X-ray vision".

I generally try to shoot with a shallow DOF, was hard fighting the urge when I knew the client wanted this shot.
