That's the beauty of 58mm versus the 85mm; you get more in the frame while keeping everything nice and creamy!

It's extremely satisfying when another photographer wants to make a canvas of your own stuff 
He was great as well; we were very happy with what he did for us.

Thanks for the complements.
I'm really starting to enjoy using this lens. I'm finding its actually such a multi-facetted lens with quirks that lends itself to many genres.
Must say I absolutely disagree with some comments I've read (on other forums) that this is just a one trick pony lens.
Cheers

I like the perspective you used on the first image! Well done.

Posting this here since you fine folks understand the virtues of this lens. I have Hassey GAS pretty bad, but to satisfy it, I would have to give up my 24/1.4 or the 58/1.4. I do have a 50/1.8G, but don't have anything wider than a 35mm if I give up the 24.
Opinions on what I should do, please. A third option is to stuff down the desire to try out a Hasselblad, but you gearheads understand how hard that would be

Dump the 24/1.4 and your 35, get the 28/1.8G. It gives you a wide sense, but can easily replace the 35. The 28 makes a lot more sense when a normal 50-60mm prime is often used, 35 is too close in perspective.
