I'm not so keen on the distortion, top left, which you get from tall structures towards the edge of the frame when you're shooting wide with the 14-24, but like the image.

I think that could be fixed with a little more lens correction in Photoshop. Other than that you'd need a TS lens to get any better.
Really makes me want the 14-24 as well as my new 16-35, dang.
Just finished a large commercial campaign here in Norway and wanted to treat myself to something special. Found a copy that was used once, so the condition was like new, for a good price. Got it in the mail today, and it's quite a beast. Hand holding is not too bad, it's the carrying around I think will wear me out. But after the few tests with it today I'm very impressed, sharp as hell, VERY snappy AF and almost no CA. After some testing I found it needed quite a bit of MA, but I'm still happy.
Here is one of the first shots with my new to me 200mm f/2 VR1:

Anton, can't wait to see what you do with the new glass - I should use my VR1 more but I often leave it at home due to the weight. Mine took -20 adjust on my D7000 and -15 on my D800, but at least it's in range :-)
I was trying to duplicate your backlit shots with the 85 1.4G and model - Amanda? last night, couldn't get there - need more practice in that situation (tips?); but I did learn that I'll need to camouflage myself better in the future and watch out for reflections! Unbelievably easy to miss focus at this distance too - kept getting eyebrows, as in this one, and then eyes are OOF - maybe I ought to AF and dial in some front focus on the fine tune haha
ReyGey - These are some of the best "people shots" I've seen from you. The wrestler one literally made me laugh out loud - it has a future as an internet meme .
I liked the shot of the liquor bottles a lot, too. Cheers!
