Hi GabrielPhoto. Just look at the histogram. It reveals a lot of lost blacks. If you got to this point deliberately, that's ok.
On my two hardware calibrated Eizo ColorEdge monitors I see the crushed blacks issue and also on my tv, cellular and tablet. all of them with oled panels, even watching your photo in complete darkness.
If you don't see that phenomena on your computer monitor, you should calibrate it, maybe it is not showing the correct gamma actually. You sholuld also check the ambient lighting in your editing room. If it is too dim it may lead you to underexposed editings. As you know the human vision adapts to darkness increasing its "dynamic range". Be sure to have CIE normalized D50 lighting in your editing room.

Of course, all my monitors are calibrated with an i1 Display Pro and even checked them with the i1Pro 2 and same thing. And yes part of the look is meant ot be crushed but not all as it shows in my OLED displays (phones/tablet).
My editing room is indeed very dim, basically only lit by my 3 monitors. Maybe I will take this over PM to not sidetrack the thread.

Thanks man! I am liking it a lot, especially for medium 3/4 length to head and shoulders shots. Going forward, it will be interesting to see when I choose this over the 35 and 85. Not much to complain about for portraits and a total steal if you get a good deal used. I got mine for $500, which was just too cheap to pass up. It’s much better corrected than my other budget portrait primes. OOC colors are nice for people, just a touch warm, kind of in between the 85 FE (cold) and Sammy 35 (very warm).

Crafted a crown for an upcoming maternity shoot. Daughter insisted I make one for her too, which was useful since I got to sit her down to see how the spray paint photographed.
