Thanks!
I really do love the 58mm f/1.4g. It's a highly debated lens and the folks over at dpreview have been fighting over it for the last few weeks. I will admit it's quite soft wide open, but it's strange, it's not really "soft" it's more of a "glow". I don't know how to describe it. Details are tack sharp but they have a bit of a glow around them. Stopped down to 1.6 it gets much sharper and the glow starts to go away. At f2 the magic really starts with the 3D effect. This shot was stopped down a bit more than that just to get both sets of eyes in focus but even from this shot you can tell the lens has character. Falloff into bokeh is so pleasant. I've been getting comments from people that my shots have an appealing look to them when I use it, and tonight I was asked by another photographer in the area what kind of "post processing" I do to give my shots this much character. The best part, the image they saw was pretty much straight out of camera....
