I thought I'd dig through my 85L shots to post something and not only has Flickr lost about 90% of my tags, it's merged some sets of photos. Most annoying!

Anyway, here's a better one (than previous):

85mm is such a nice focal length on FF (I loved 50mm on a crop as well).

Eventually I'll spring for the Sigma (when it gets the Art line treatment probably), and a few years down the line I'll pick up the 85L...

You know you want it

(@ 1.2)

Head and shoulder portraits is just something else with it.

Wait for mrk comes in and shows us the Sigma.

The Sigma 85mm 1.4 is good I suppose.

:eek:

How much longer will you manage to resist?

85mm is such a great length on a full frame none of the available options for Canon will disapoint but some will definitely impress even more than others!

Resist getting an 85 1.4? I already have one and have done for a year+~ now
