Prime Lens Portraits - Post Your Best!! (2)

Recent shot from an editorial. Tend to use my 70-200 99% of the time but felt like giving the 85 1.8 a go.

Lighting is simple, a westcott 7ft parabolic umbrella (silver internal) with diffusion sock camera right and some foam core camera right for fill. 4 stop ND filter on the 85 shot at f2.

great job!

Fantastic, model and bokeh! Looks like a Trioplan 100mm!

Thanks!

It's a Cyclop 85mm 1.5.
A Helios 40 derivate without aperture blades from a soviet night vision device.

Well it's got that swirly bokeh of the Helios. I found a Cyclop at 150 euros locally but it seems overpriced for me.

I must say that I don't like my Jupiter 9 85mm/f2 M42, it is awfully soft, while the other copy I have for the Kiev-4 is better.

I love this shot! mainly because you captured a wonderful gesture.

I agree...I'm not all over the boards by any means, but in the threads I hang, you are putting up the strongest portrait work...no question. Keep em coming!

Very nice shot!

Very nice!
