Thanks from me as well. Threads like these are why I come to FM. The good advice is there if you're smart enough to listen to it.

thanks again.

does this issue of the "sweet spot" on lens like the 300 2.8 and the 400 2.8 apply to more traditional "portrait" lens like the 85 L 1.2?

Am i understanding the 85 1.2 everybody raves about is even better when stopped down than at 1.2?


also, under the same exact shooting conditions and parameters in your camera, which lens is sharper, the 70-200 2.8 stopped at f4 or the 70-200 f4 at f4?

I'd love to hear what you think

Speaking of which, a local paper here had an image on their website that I found in poor taste along those lines ...

They clearly used photoshop to brighten the highlights under his cap but it turned out terrible giving him a bright white halo around his head. Perhaps someone thought he was an angel, but otherwise I think it looks tacky.
