Playing with the my new 85mm 1.8

Cat decided to be my muse.

I love the second shot a lot cats are so fun to shoot can't wait to see what creativeness I can get up to with a prime lens

btw how do you find the 85 as a lens for shooting pets?

I'll let you know, I just picked it up today.

It also really depends on what body you have. On a crop like the 7d it is definitely pretty long for indoor/pets, but cats tend to stay still long enough to frame a shot.

Excellent 2nd shot. I agree on the 85 not being the best for indoor/outdoor pets, but I could see it working well for cats.

I had one and sold it because it just wasn't a good focal length for dogs. Too close for indoor head shots and too far for outside work.

That being said, it was my favorite lens for taking outdoor shots of my daughters... but the dogs took priority apparently

nice shots of the cats, I use my 85 1.8 on my dogs.

Very nice second shot in particular.
