I wish!

What I really need are some better test subjects. Can someone send over some supermodels and football players so I can do some proper shots.

I hate cats as I am deathly allergic to them, but these are some really great cat pictures.

Not a great picture but I dont have a cat anymore and this is as close as I can get to the stray that pretty much lives in my backyard. Shot through a dirty double pane window with the 1.8 @ 1.8.

Here's a shot of my cat at f/4, but I don't know if it was with my 1.8 or my 1.2 lens. I tend to think I took it with the 1.2

Apologies I can't upload images, so you have to follow the link to Flickr.

I love my 85/1.8, especially wide open. This isn't the best shot or the best light, but it's what fits the bill for the thread for what I have available online. I'm away from my home computer for a while. Keep 'em coming!

@ this thread!

I think all lens reviews should have a section that rates its ability to take cat photos.

I think any serious pro recognises that to be the benchmark of good quality optics.

So far, the images shot with the 85/1.8 are the winners for me, particularly the ones from Chris, Luke, and M Vers. Also the 50/1.8 deserves mention.

Guess I don't need that 85/1.2 after all.
