[QUOTE="hulk2012, post: 351855, member: 14329"] All this funny depth of field. To be honest you can always close it to let's say 2.8 and stand a bit closer to "melt" that background. And this could be done with either lens. It's funny that I was on the same boat once and got myself 1.2 and then did a lot of portraits with heads turned towards me where one eye was blurred. On the screen it's ok but gosh on the print...??!! That is why I like 1.2-1.4-1.8 wide open ideally doing "straight" night time portraits to get this nice light lights bokeh. In daytime I close to 2.8 or smaller. Even tho using 70-200 vr2 wide open 2.8 and fully zoom to 200mm to melt the background that much that even pro will thing u using 85 1.4 [/QUOTE]
