the bokeh behind his portraits is stunning
I think it's the 85mm 1.2, am I right ?

Why don't you just message the guy and ask him? I don't see EXIF in these pics, so for all we know he's using an XS with a nifty fifty.

Thats a damn nice bokeh, and some nice round bokeh highlights. My guess is Canon 200mm F/2.0

yeah exif do not show anything, and he does not answer my questions ! I guess he likes to keep it for himself.
some say 135mm some say 85L

They tend to look zoomed. Most shots like that are usually with a 70-200 f2.8

On some of the last shots in the gallery I see the pentagon (5 blade) bokeh of the 50mm f/1.8...

I say ask the guy. You might want to ask him about his lighting while you are at it. Some of it looks great.

85 1.2. He belongs to the group also. The images reminded me of mine, so I went to his "public groups". ;)

Could also get that look at 200mm on a 2.8L, zoom compression is evident in some of them, not all.

I sent him a message to no avail........

Loving his colours and processing though, what are the reverse engineering thoughts ?

As you flick through the gallery to page 9 you can see he has marked some as 580EXII camera right & 580EXII on camera for lighting and another 85mm 1.2 for lens.

Great gallery indeed :)

Thanks SupraWez, I (and obviously many others) hadn't made it to page 9 to notice that !! Appreciate the heads-up !

amonline, I (and obviously many others) did check out quite a few of the pages in question, but somewhat less then 9. Maybe after not finding the information we were after in 8 pages we gave up ?

Also, as has been stated, several people did message the guy seeking more information but to no avail ......

But I digress, Great work, and thanks to both the OP of this thread for bringing it to our attention, and "thphotos" for the Flickr gallery.

I know - but bear with them as they usually come through.
