One of first outings after having repurchased the 85mm... It's been about 4 years since I sold my first copy.

Yes. Pull it off with some luck.

Every time I think about selling mine...I take it out and shoot with it and then realize that I would just end up wanting one again...so I keep it in the bag.

Well, I thought that 85 was a bit long when I was shooting with a 40D. I traded it for a 50mm. Kept that ever since. I've had a 1.4x TC in my bag that has been collecting dust for just as long... a local guy was looking for the TC and I figured I might as well throw in some cash and get the 85... especially now that I have a full frame. I'm still saving up for the 85/1.2, but now I'm not as much in a rush. This 85 focuses faster, afterall, and I'd keep it for sports (and kids) anyway.

Great stuff, Cory. Reminds me how rusty I am. Seems the late summer months I always drop off. Your shots keep making me think I need to get back out there!

Thanks Randy!, but don't feel bad...I am about to drop off the radar myself as the weather is turning. I think a lot of us go through spurts.

It's not always easy being a baby!

By the way, I did no sharpening or enhancing of his eyes.

aside from the sharpness in the eyes. i think what made them pop are the catchlights.

for me sometimes even if the eyes are not as sharp so long as there's catchlights? it works.

nice shots
