Great set.

I want this lens soooo badly.

Nice shots. 3 & 4 are my favorite.

I'm curious what others think of the bench in the foreground of the first shot.

Beautiful shots, that lens is sooo fantastic. And of course you are very skilled at using it.

All of these are good. I like them. Nice work!!

Nice bokeh!

I don't really care for it TBH. Because the black metal of the bench is so much lighter than the surrounding area of the photograph, I think it pulls too much for attention. I really like 2,3 and 4, the second being my favorite. They're all nice photographs, and the blur on that lens is something I love too, but it renders colors so well that I find my eye wanting to check them all out. At it's best, this lens is an isolator, similar to the 135L, and I'm not sure what it is, I think I'm just used to seeing you use that focal length, or maybe that separation is a little different in your strangers project? I'll have to think about it. I know my favorite shots with this lens are when I have a background that I can make, tonally, very even. Great work though man, you're really putting up nice stuff! I think the strangers project is helping inject a lot of personality into all your portraits.

Edit: LOVE the last one you just posted. That and 2 are my favorite.

Fantastic hair on that girl.

it's feel good........:o

Awesome work. Were all of these shot wide open?

yes really nice set

Nice set! You definitely know how to use this lens!
