The 85 1.8 arrived not quite 2 hours ago. Decided my nephew is a good candidate for initial testing.

lol no prob Greg. He bills at $350 an hour.

Here are some semi-posed shots of him I managed to arrange. Wish he wasn't so filthy but ah well.

So far I'm liking this lens. I actually bought it for indoor sports, not this stuff...but it can pull double duty.

Thanks all. I'm not doing this lens justice yet but it's proving to have potential for sure.

Nice shots! The 85 is an awesome lens... I say it all the time but it's the first additional lens I purchased (the-digital-picture review site sold me on it, easily). A touch long in tight quarters but completely awesome regardless - especially for the price.
