Test shots - 85 1.2

[loydall]

Going to be trying quite a few lenses over the next few months - there's a great company in the uk that hire lenses for a very good price. This time I have the 85mm 1.2 for a week. Quality is amazing - even at 1.2 but it's so slow to focus it's very difficult to get eyes in focus on a moving subject, i.e. kids. Anyway, here's my first set:

LOVE #5!

Jealous of all these rentals. You going to try out a tilt shift? I'd love to play with the 24.

100mm 2.8 L Macro next but will try the tilt shift for sure.

The 85mm 1.2 - it's a stunning lens but I'm still not sure whether it's worth the price difference over the 85 1.8 - I was looking over some shots I took with that and they're not far off - and you also have to take into consideration that, most of the time, you wont be shooting at 1.2...
