no, i’m not just looking around the room and saying i love glass. i love glass! especially the kind that’s in my 85mm 1.2 lens.
it became my favorite the day i added it to my bag. photographers, if you have one, you know what i mean. if you don’t have one, get one. rent it, buy it, enter a drawing for it, trade a kidney for it. whatever you have to do, try it.
it is amazing what you can do with a fine piece of glass.
before i go any further i will show a little compasion by saying, if your name is aaron you should probably look away at this point. sorry buddy.
as i am working my way through pending files i finished these up and thought i would share. enjoy.
last chance aaron. :)

you might have just convinced me. i thought my next hit was going to be the 50 1.2, but your buttery soft, wickedly sharp images may have just changed where i am going to spend my cash… shoot.

OMG – this is making me sick(in a good way)… I can’t take the super sharp beauty of these images! Simply Gorgeous! I want
that glass too.

sooo…the 85 1.2 is definitely my FAVORITE lens!! :) (besides of course the “phantom” 50 1.0….that I actually get to use often ;) )

I have a few short lenses, a macro, and a fisheye and such, and i rent what i need normally…but I think the 85 is going to be my first super-sweet baby. it will compliment my new mark III quite nicely I think!

hope your family is doing well david! :) let me know if i can come shoot with you sometime soon!!!

Great images!

What a beautiful background in those first several pictures… do you mind sharing where those were taken?

Myself, I’ve never been a huge fan of the 85 1.2, maybe if I was a ff shooter?

Oh my gosh, I think you’re about to break a comment record of some sort!

These look amazing so how can we not say so. Great job on making these images bold – yet serene. You’ve inspired me to finish going through my Salton Sea images too.

Yer the man!

Simply amazing images! Stunning stuff! Was that done with available light or did you use a reflector or lights? I guess the white sand kicked up a good bit of light as well.

Thanks!

YOUR work is really at the TOP! I am impressed. Really, I cannot believe how many fantastic shots you got and how beautiful they look with your touch. You have a new fan. I want to do one of my rain-cancelled projects with you exclusively. No more of this group thing I think. When you find someone with this kind of talent, you don’t need the numbers.

Let’s Keep in touch.

Ooooh…soooo beautiful! These images are so fresh, crisp, and clean…just the way I like ’em! I’ve always been curious about the 1.2, and while I don’t doubt that I’d love it, I always hear differing opinions on it. Anyway, if I had the dinero, I’d so buy it tomorrow.

David, I love the images and that lens. those pictures are SWEET.

However, I was wondering if you have had any problems with the focusing. Ours is as slow as a tank for some reason. When locked in though, it is amazing.
