That shallow DOF works for me. Great pic, quite unusual. That 85mm is really getting a workout :)

Nice shot, are you showing off my lens again :lol: It has the distinct look of an 85/1.2

We actually had a POTN meet-up here in New York last June......(organized by a member named Msvadi). Unfortunately, out of all of the members who confirmed......only 2 showed up :-(

But as of recently........there has been a few NEW new yorkers in this board. Thats a good thing.

Ro,
Are you happy with your 85mm L? I'm looking for something along that line for my 10D and your comments would be appreciated.
Thanks my friend,

I guess the lens does have something to do with it ;-)

Thanks Dante.

Thanks my friend,

I'm VERY VERY happy with it. Search for my other threads in the EF-EFS forum.....I have a review of that lens there..........as well as a comparison with the 1.8 version.

..........If you're on a budget........the 1.8 version is a very good alternative.

Thanks Ro,
I'm very impressed with this photo of your brother. I'll go look up that thread and also look at that 1.8 version. You da' man.
