Here are some shots for a shoot over the weekend. as always C&C welcome. all shot with the 135L, im still getting used to this lens, its very hard to use, between keeping the shutter speed up and not missing focus. its phenomenal when it does hit, but i threw away more than i would have liked that could have been great shots. I may need to start using the monopod every time with it.

Excellent work. Beautiful model. I haven't owned the 135 in many years, but I don't remember it being difficult to nail great shots (aside from my own lack of talent). The 85L 1.2 on the other hand I do find tough to master.

It looks like you missed focused on the face for 1 or 2 shots.

loving the shots especially the ones with the 135L because of the creamy bokeh. However, I really dislike #5 as it looks like it was taken with a phone/point-n-shoot. 28mm at f4.5 just gets everything in focus. It's all based on each person's taste, but with my taste, I'm a bigger fan of creamy bokeh. In #7, you used the 135L for a wide shot and produced nice bokeh... you definitely could have used it also for a framing similar to #5.

is there a reason you used your 28mm f1.8 lens and raised the aperture to f4.5?
