Goofin' around with the 85mm f/1.8 last night. Man, I love this lens:

Taken at 1/6th of a second, f/1.8, ISO 100, on a tripod, in a very dimly lit room...

This is actually a sculpture piece. The end of the cigar is, if you look closely, "lit"...

No offense, man. Hell, I was going to fire off a retaliatory shot but, after looking at it a second time, could definitely see your point.

The sculpture is life-sized, supported only by the arm of the hand that holds the cigar. It's pretty cool, and has been known to freak out the occasional overnight guest who's not used to seeing it.

This 85mm prime continues to impress me. A very sweet lens...
