@pnmd: Love the look but I can't help notice the JPG artifacts (if they are indeed that). How are you saving this photo?

Pnmd - The first two are well done. I can notice sometype of pp...it's not overly done.


Basic body, 50 f1.8, 85 f1.8, 70-200 f2.8 L, 430EX. A 50D or it's replacement in the new year and a revived trigger finger.......would like to also add 135mm f2 near future (maybe)

Just got this lens last week. Picked it up used on CL and gave it whirl yesterday walking around DC. Here is a candid inside the Jefferson Memorial.

Thanks! This lens is so sharp, It felt kinda wrong to pp the eyes at all because they were so sharp already.
Thanks for the comment!

So far I really haven't felt all that limited using this as my only lens. I got to try it out on my friend's 1D iii last week, too, and it actually felt too wide to me.
