[QUOTE="Eye-level, post: 24672, member: 6548"] Thank you Helene I'm getting there...can't wait to get a 85 or 105 someday... :) The first shot I think works very well because the rocks and the 91 year old man seem to go together...ancient!!! LOL The 2nd and 3rd are of a husband and wife, the wife being the daughter of the old fellow. The 135/2.8 can blow out some backgrounds if you open it up wide but you lose the details really fast...it works best as a far range full body portrait lens. The second pic has some crazy distracting bokeh going but yet the face is pretty sharp...still an alright photo though I guess. In the third pic I think it suffers from the Kodak 400 grain a bit...well unless grain is your thing I guess... [/QUOTE]
