The IQ of this lens even on a crop is really great! Can't wait to have my copy! :)
Beautiful shot btw. ;-)a

Thanks, yeah this lens has a fantastic sharpness to it, which with the addition of a highpass filter in Photoshop, it becomes nearly too much. With that Lion shot I've actually, since posting, put a mask on the Highpass layer to just hit the face, as the fuzz around my head seems a bit too crisp, unnaturally so.

Also, that shot was cropped in quite a bit:

Just ordered mine.

I blame Cory. My next lens will be a 135L, for which I also blame Cory.

Watch out Daniel, here I come...

It arrives on Friday. I might not survive until then...

I like it a lot, might be a little better than the 35L but wouldn't say it's a great difference

"Better" is quite a broad and non-specific term. So much of what causes us to form an opinion about lenses is subjective. However, price is very objective, and if for no other reason than a savings of a few hundred bucks I consider this a "better" lens! :D

^^^^ BTW, I like this shot a lot Daniel! ^^^^ Very clean with nice colors. Can you elaborate on the concept? For someone who is seemingly crankin' out the portrait work for a living, you really seem to do a good job at mixing it up. What I am saying is it is clear that you are thinking about your surroundings what you can do differently.

Nice creative shot. Did you just use natural light / sun for this ?

Did you also employ the use of an ND filter? That's a lot of sunlight at f1.4

No, ISO 50 and 1/3200 was enough
