Hi all,

I have finally ditched my last zoom and converted to all prime glass, and must say I'm very excited about the 85mm 1.4! Not the new AF-S ... but the original. Now I know why people call it the cream machine... it's wonderful!

All shots wide open with only levels adjustment and small amount of smart sharpen after resize. Not after any critique as they are quick snaps and far from technically correct... just sharing the quality for anyone considering the lens...

Notice how fine the DOF is with the granite showing along the focal plane.

Still amazes me how quickly they grow up :shock:

cheers

Mark

Thanks for posting Mark. Great results for just 'snaps'! Will have to get out shooting again to justify any new lens acquistions :cry:

It is magic on a full frame DSLR. That's where it deserves to be.

Congratulations, now you have no excuse for poor photography.
