Please post your 85mm shots.
I will start with mine.
Great bokeh Ranie! Nice shot!
The only 85mm lens I have is the macro version, and it's definitely NOT the F1.8 version! But, I love it for macro shots and general picture taking.
Ranie, some of my more recent macro shots are in my album under Macro. I haven't taken any outdoor flower shots as of yet, but I plan to change that soon, during the winter.
The new 85 1.4 is my next 'wanted' lens, but the price means I have to wait awhile
I have used an older Nikkor 85mm 1.4 on film, many many moons ago, Or maybe it was a 2.0, I can't remember. Why don't my old B&W negatives have EXIF data?
Was a nice lens and I wish I still had access to it!
View attachment 817I know this is does not meet what ever criteria, other than being a 85 1.8 First of only three shots ever taken with this lens, I am still practicing with all of them, and I suspect I am too close, within it's closest focal length, I hate to pose people so catching unawares is my preferance
Yes your absolutly right, It was very hurried and I think I was too close, as stated I believe I was within the closest focal length, approx 36", I do love to get in close, Oh well better luck next time Te HeHi imnunky. Was this a hastily shot? My observation is that your subject is out of focus nor sharp.
I hope I don't get heck for doing a second photo, just too show this pic was taken at the same day, time, same distance, also hurried but I wanted the sparkler as I have never had a chance before, what do Scouts say "always be prepared" Well I tried, and even got a flare, in this case I didn't care, even variant colours around the high lights, whole new experience for me, So OK what would the more experienced guy's have done, Maybe I should put this in the critique post what do you think?Hi imnunky.
