My little 85L review

Only had the lens one day, but already I absolutely LOVE it

People says its slow to focus
It's not really that bad
It has a LOT of glass to move
If no one mentioned it is slower to focus, I wouldn't even have noticed really

The DOF is so insanely shallow wide open, I love it
The bokeh is super smooth, almost like liquid
You really need to check, double check and check again to make sure you are focused where you want to be
Definitely not a lens to grab and go "snap some shots"

It is stunningly sharp even at f/1.2
f/5.6-8 is almost too sharp, it's nuts!

The color and contrast that come out of this lens are superb
The need for PP work is almost non-existent (if you only do minor stuff like I do in PP anyway)

The only this I can tell so far that is "wrong" with the lens, it the minor CA wide open
I only saw this when shooting in super high contrast situations
By f/2.0 the CA is gone totally

Am I glad I got rid of my 24-70L for this?
HELL YES

Anyway, if you have anymore questions just ask

Here are some test shots, nothing fancy just messing around the house to get a feel for the lens

Oh hai toy car (f/1.2)


DOF: WIN


He's slow, for real


And double what he should weigh (talk about sharp eye and OOF nose)


Beat to hell, and still smiling


And a self portrait of my geek ass
