I am increasingly becoming interested in alt lenses for my 5D (maybe 5D2) in the near future. This lens always seems to come up in conversations.

I am curious to see what you are all doing with this lens!

Post em if you got em! (or if there is another thread where I can see them, let me know).

this lens is super interesting, things can be milky smooth but in any highlights it the bokeh goes bonkers!

only if you don't shoot wide open. Wide open there is little manipulation of the bokeh. The girl is a good example, as I would put money on the fact that it was shot at 2.8. and second is 2.0 and the third is wide open. It just depends on what you want to get out of it.

Really nice work. Its great to see people actually taking professional images with this lens rather than just mucking around with bokeh

Some great oldies, the leaf shot is particularly stunning. The violin shots are beautiful. A worthy lens for such a model

Wrong, I shot all those shots wide open.
