I know it's not a G lens on a D810 or D4s, but try telling that to this little girls parents or grandparents. I really enjoy using this combo!

Thanks Chris!
I think the "D" lenses have a certain look. It may be a look of imperfection, that mirrors our own?

Really nice. Did you have to stop down to f3.2 to get enough of her face in focus? I have the 85 f1.8 D and have thought about going for the f1.4 version but DOF is so narrow at f1.8 that I figure I'd almost never use it wide open anyway...

Many people that shoot wide open don't seem to care as long as the eyelashes of one eye are sharp.

Thanks Ray!
I did close down to F3.2, though it has a different look than a 2.8 lens closed down to 3.2.

Or they just keep the head on shots.
Really difficult to get two people in focus with 1.4 wide open.
