Just Wow!! Nice time to be a Nikon shooter (with deep pockets ) 85 f1.2, 135 f1.8 ... amazing lenses and Kudos to the photographer and the pretty model.
It’s almost like photography is way more than what lens is being used, and is rather a reflection of the skills of the photographer. I assume the Plena in the same hands would result in equally beautiful work

Outstanding series, my compliments!
(PS: IMHO only, this lens used properly like you did here, blows the Plena away in final product -- flamesuit donned )

Much appreciated. The 85/1.2 has been my workhorse since the day it delivered. It’s for sure a good time to be a Nikon shooter.

At least the 50% of eyes (partially more) in focus. Shows the ambivalence of these lenses when used without the rounded blades...
Sorry, I don't understand your reply. What does ambivalence mean in this context? Are blades not round and if not where do you see non-round blades in this image? Thanks.

I think he means that if one uses a lens with so many blades as the 85/1.2 by stopping down the out of focus points would still remain round, I am sure he handles the lens much better than I do and that his subjects pose for him still, I am both not good (yet) with this lens (and many others) and with my subjects but the fun is all about grabbing a shot nonetheless only 50% of the eyes is in focus ;-)
