Here is a first try with my new 85mm 1.8. Shot on 6D @ f/2.2 in AI servo mode. I like the shot even though she's too centered (for my first tests I was using only the center focus point)
What do you think?

Nathan Can you repeat the question, please?  More info | Oct 21, 2013 09:17 | #8 That's a good decision. The lens is a bit soft at 1.8 and you could pick up some chromatic aberration, as well. It's still a great lens to have as part of your kit. Taking photos with a fancy camera does not make me a photographer.
