I really think this fabulous lens deserves an image thread where you can display your favourite pictures taken with this lens.

I haven't had the chance to use it a lot, but I will start with some of my firsts pictures taken with it. I hope you will show yours as well

I just realized that EFCS has ruined some of my favorite shots of my kids playing in a stream, makes the smooth bokeh of this lens quite nervous by cutting the bokeh balls...

This lens renders an attractive background. Smooth, flat and very even. Very pleasant bokeh indeed.

Great images. Have they had any other firmware updates to address AF consistency?

We are still on firmware v4. My hit rate is good enough with moving targets that I am still getting maybe a 70% hit rate. For static subjects closer to 90%. So a little frustrating but If I need to get more accuracy I close the aperture a bit. Much of it seems to have to do with the AF system with the low margin for error that comes with f/1.4.

The only other annoyances so far have been some strange glow in intense sunlight (not ideal anyway), and AF at close distance where it will confirm eye focus but it really isn’t in focus.

None of these have swayed me from using the lens extensively. It is my current favorite.

Good stuff. The shot with the bubbles is a tough BG at that distance. It’s not ultra crazy smooth but so much better than the FE 85 would have fared.

Yeah sorry about that, is is only at f/2 in that pic so not as smooth as possible but I just liked it enough to post. Like I said, with moving targets I sometimes stop it down just a bit to get a higher hit rate. The flower/tree branch is at f/1.4 for reference.

Here is one at f/1.6. Lighting wasn't great so ISO is a bit higher, and I edited on mobile as a jpeg. So take the total image quality with a grain of salt, but still it hit on focus just fine.

This lens and IBIS are the reasons I haven't moved to the Canon EOS R.

Also not a pro shot, but was the first time I said 'wow' when considering how the lens handled background separation and bokeh. Trees and power lines behind the subject. Moving target. AF worked just fine, though it was mid day.

In my opinion, this lens is such a Bokeh-Queen.

Just got this lens yesterday and had a shoot this morning with it. Lovely lens, I think we’re going to be good friends 😁

Here some photos from Botanical garden in Padua.

P.S. This is my first post here. I don't know how post a static image.

Inserting characters here so it doesn't actually post anything - but remove all of the periods and post like this:

.[.i.m.g.].STATICLINK.[./.i.m.g.].

(Delete STATICLINK and paste in place of this your actual static link)
