Wow, haha, I had no idea I had a crew, that's awesome! I'll definitely post more. Unfortunately, I don't use the 85 as much as my other lenses.

[rpcruab]

Just got this lens to use with my T1i, which I got for Christmas. Here are some shots with it up to this point.

Great loooong thread.
I'm thinking about getting this lens, I already have the 50mm 1.4 and I have issues with focus sometimes. Can the 85mm be a challenge to focus at well? (I probably just have to practice more)

[Methodical]

I like this shot. What's the specs of the shot...camera, f stop, flash etc?

Thanks...Al

Great shot on the Infiniti, sharp and crisp!!! I just picked this lens up just awaiting delivery now, can't wait :)

[Collin85]

Well believe it or not, I've sold nearly all of my lenses in the past three weeks. This is the only one I've got left.. and I intend on keeping it. Anyway, here's a shot from today (outside my bedroom window):

Collin, why did you sell most of your lenses? Switching brands?

[pridash]

^^^ Really nice shot - excellent framing!

That sucks Collin. But keep up the awesome photography!

That sucks Collin. But keep up the awesome photography!

Thanks for the kind words! :) I've got a few events coming up and I dunno what I'm gonna do with just an 85.

"What, you want a group shot? Ookay, just lemme step back a little.." :lol:

[ssnxp]

Unfortunately, I'm selling mine.. Can't justify keeping it right now. :( Haven't posted a thread in the Sell forum yet, but if anyone is interested, let me know.

More like, "Let me just drive down the road and use a megaphone to shout out instructions!" :lol:

Seriously though, being limited to one lens (and a prime at that) may result in some really amazing shots...just looking at the bright side!

That's a lot of clearance, you need to lower it some more.

[Methodical]

Is it on jacks or jacked up?

I've used my coworkers 85 1.2 and it's a beautiful thing but the 1.8 is no slouch either. I owned it many years ago and sold it after I realized i wasn't doing any portraiture but now I'm doing much more of it since I've become a sort of strobist freak so I purchased one again recently. Tried it out on my wife today who consequently was trying on some new lipstick and gloss which has a bit more color than her usual "natural" looking makeup and thought I'd try to do a glamor shot and this lens was just superb at capturing the detail.

Can some one post examples on a 5D Mark II Please!

Thx

[Yaamon]

Hi Martin, I posted a sample on page thread 198 2962.

Also on my web site under the 5D II folder wedding reception there are about 22 photos using this lens around f2 to 2.2 from this photo.

The 5D II resolves great detail on this lens.

I'm finding this lens too long on my camera :( I don't know what to shoot with it, maybe I should take a stroll in my local park!

it is a pretty long lens on crop.... its like having a 136mm lens on FF.... IMO this 85mm prime is more an "outdoor" prime on crop bodies.

[FlyingPhotog]

man your good... damn impressive stuff.

Thanks very much...

There's a few more from this location shot mostly with a 24-70mm f/2.8L under Still Life on my website (Link Below)...

Yeah for sure, I find it really hard taking pictures with this lens, I guess i'm never really in candid type conditions lol, I need to upgrade to a FF soon.

[richierich1212]

Yeah 85mm is long on crop and I feel it's hard to get sharp shots since you got to really up the shutter speed and have steady hands.

[Salma]

Definitely, also in low light conditions it's pretty bad too, oh well I don't regret getting it or anything, maybe one day i'll own a FF <3 lol!

[richierich1212]

Salma I don't get what you mean by saying it's pretty bad in low light conditions. Could you please clarify?

[Collin85]

On APS-C, I never used this lens for anything other than street/candid photography. But boy, it certainly excelled in that!

My pictures come out very dark when i'm focusing on something far away in low light, even if I use my flash and fiddle with my shutter and aperture.

You're work is just fantastic, I love the way you present it aswell, love that third shot for sure, she looks so happy lol!

[Collin85]

love that third shot for sure, she looks so happy lol!

:lol:

But you know what, I parked my arse for about 15 minutes at that intersection before I got a shot I was happy with. It was one of those busy intersections where the cars go crazy for about three minutes before all lights turn red and the pedestrians then go crazy crossing in all directions. I'd shoot, then chimp during the green lights and repeat. It didn't help that the day was boiling.. something like 37 degrees C. My damn arse cheeks were sweating. The great thing with the 85 is it's so small and inconspicuous.. when I used the 70-200L, it was so much easier to attract attention and hence unwanted staring! :lol: You should really go out and shoot some candids with the 85, you'll love it!

[Salma]

LMAO, thankyou so much for the detailed response about your sweaty asscheeks, FANTASTIC! HAHA!

I suppose going out with my lens during day time and taking some shots would be an idea, to be honest i'm totally hooked on my 28mm 1.8, even though it's a wide angle lens and distorts alot, I just can't seem to get my hands off it lol.

I think I might pop out today with my 85mm :)

[Methodical]

I'm confused with this statement...even with the flash. Can you post pictures? A gentleman in the flash forum has a problem where his 430 flash but the pics come out dark...seems like a flash problem to him.

[Chris215]

i like the 85mm on crop it's the same as 135mm which i think is a decent FL for candid, headshots, and street photography.

with flash if set right should be able to light up your subject with the 85mm just fine.

here are two examples i posted before, both in low light.

direct flash as fill

bounced flash +1

maybe not enough output power or off exposure?

I was looking at this thread - then I looked on Ebay for prices - I found one from a guy 5 km from me - 1 hour later I'm back home with a 85mm 1.8!

Thx guys! :D

[JayStar86]

Im so lusting after this lens and the Sigma 30mm .... I want them both and want them now!

[DStanic]

They are an awsome combo! The only other prime I want now is maybe 135mm f/2 but I don't have that kinda $$$.

Thanks Amy.

I use a pair of cheap clip on lights from Lowes for $7 each (uses any bulb to your desire), plus I use flash (580exII) on the camera also.

[spikeystitch]

There are some great shots in this thread. Sadly I may be getting rid of mine. I find the MFD to be a huge disadvantage. It worked great on my XTi as it gave that extra reach that offset the MFD. Colors and sharpness is great but not for me.

I agree with you, I'm trying to like it on the 5D because I LOVED on my 400D, but after 7 months I still don't like it as much and it almost always stays in the bag.....:(

It's winter here. there is nothing to do and nowhere to go.
the simple window light is one of my favorite.
the sharpnes is ok.
However, there is a visible purple fringe on the right eye. It can bee seen on 100% crop.

HaHa I haven't seen one of these in years. We have (think my Moms still has it) with the barrel that goes over the guy. We had it for about 30-40 years.
