*sigh* Not so fun being an SC basketball fan...so outnumbered by UCLA, like 20-1. I never have hated the 8 clap so much in my life...

Placed a nice order up at B&H last friday.

After 2 days of UPS not dropping my package off because I wasn't home to sign for it, they finally dropped it off today.

 

Man that was a long 2 days

 

 

Got two 8ft air cushioned Impact light stands

Two Impact umbrella brackets

Two Bowens 36" black/white/silver umbrellas (awesome)

Nikon SB-28

3 PocketWizards Plus II's

Be on the look out for some portraits and maybe some car stuff

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And oh yea, I also got this:

I really need to start building up a nice lighting setup. There's only so much I can do after awhile with a single 430EX. Canon needs to announce that new 5D soon so I can start planning how to spend $$$

 

and chris(pa) google POTN and join it, nao

My 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

2348919610_678f7cf52e_o.jpg

 

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
