This lens is really lookin' nice for someone that can't justify dropping 85 1.2 money! I think its better to show Your lens when yous sell it. You should just buy a 85 1.8 and take the same shots. Just set it next to a window and open it up to 1.8 and shoot.

farmer Junior Member 29 posts Joined Jan 2009 More info | Just got my 85 last week and went to visit some friends who were expecting a baby. Her water broke when we were at dinner and after a long 18 hours she had this beautiful baby. I am so impressed with this lens. I would have never gotten this shot without it.

I've had one for a few weeks, but haven't gotten around to shooting much w/ it yet. Kinda tough to answer this question, because it is totally dependent on the available light. I shoot with a crop camera, so to avoid camera shake I need to shoot at shutter speeds above 136 (1.6x85). However, I have had sharp results at much slower speeds. It just becomes more difficult to count on the shot. Do you have a good understanding of exposure? If not, do a quick google or thread search and your question will be answered.
