Stunning! Is this shot wide open?

Thanks.

Well this is at 1.6, so almost wide open.

Neutral density filter? Great shot!

Thanks. Nope, not using any filter on this lens. Gonna have to get a step ring first.

I keep lurking on an 85mm for portraits and you're pushing me towards the Sigma. By saying that I think i'm sold

Nice shots Ricku! I think I have seen you post pictures of her before. She has the largest most anime looking eyes I have ever seen. I know nothing about anime, except the look of it, but she must make a pretty good living off her features!

This lens is very good on a crop body and amazing on my full frame!

^ sweet shot Chris! You really nailed the 50's feeling there.

Thanks for the compliments!

HC: Yup, she is a fashiondesigner for japanese clothing and also does modeling. She is supersweet and I luv her more than anything!

I'd never dissuade anyone from getting this lens, but I must say, the reason the picture you "quoted" is so attractive has very little to do with the kegma I suspect that particular model would look very nearly as good if shot with the nifty fifty or an old kit lens...

Cool retro look. Hair and dress (and hallway) I would swear were from 1943.

Like the shot Chris, but would like it even better if you could clone out the light just above her head. I find it a bit too distracting. Great shot otherwise!

I was going to say the SAME thing earlier, it looks like he intentionally centred it over her head, however it is extremely distracting.

...Lightbulb moment!

My second test using this lens.

Oh wow. Great shot.

Am I the only woman whose iris isn't 75% of her eye?

Nice shot Girard!
