No it doesn't do macro, minimum focus is around 85cm I think.
I also think 85mm is generally too long on a crop, I barely used my 85 on a 1.5x crop, but it's one of my favourite lenses on FF...

Is it for Candids or Portraiture?

I know its a favorite length amongst wedding togs. Raymond certainly uses it a lot

Both, it's a cracking lens for either, but then I don't feel I need 200mm to take a candid.

 

[Lunawolfy]

Jeez at 200mm it would be less Candid and more Voyeur!

I just bought 20 rolls of Neopan 1600 to burn through.

well finaly got myself a nikon d5100 with the 18-55mm vr kit. now to wait for this battery to charge up

Well I've just paid for a 'new' camera body.

Let's just say, my 50mm lens will make for a perfect companion on it compared to my 40D...

I picked this up at a charity shop for £3 on Tuesday.

Put a new battery and a cheap roll of Superia 400 and it seems to be working a treat!

High quality 35mm f/2.8 glass optics. 'Full frame' in your pocket, mustn't complain.

I'll be one as soon as I find a semi-pro Canon EOS body that doesn't go for too much money.

As per Rojin, I've got an EOS 3 - really nice film body, try looking at Ffordes website at www.ffords.com, they've got quite a few EOS bodies from the inexpensive right up to the pro film bodies.

As for new gear (well old really but in mint condition) have a

I've also been a bit naughty and bought something with a red line on it and it sure as hell ain't a rev limiter.... hasn't arrived yet though

well just had a box turn up from tokyo, dont get to excited its just a couple of bags from a mate as he's had a clean out.

but one is a lowepro slingshot 200AW, not bad for the cost of shipping, and the other ones a more substantial backpack that can hold lots of odds and ends, just need to buy some more kit to go in it now

 

[nolimit]

Got myself mint Canon 28-70mm f/2.8 L, according the lens code it is made in Utsunomiya, Japan, January 2001.
