    Beyond the (wonderful) idea for the photo, the composition really completes the package. Love the way your hands are cradling the lens. Well done!

    My lens was a telephoto lens from my 90's VHS video camera. I uploaded a few shots and wrote a little story about it. A fun find.

    This really made me laugh. I have a favorite lens too. I sometimes feel bad that I do not take the others out enough. They don't know...right???? Great shot! Thanks for the laugh.

    Sweet lens. My 50mm broke and I notice how my other lenses don´t come close to the sharpness of a f/1.8..

  • Ahmed Roberson

    Ahmed Roberson said (27 Oct 2008):

    Very true Joao! I have an f/2.8 too, but that f/1.8 gets sharper much sooner, and it is VERY fast. I wan to buy a 50-135mm f/2.8 Tokina, but I don't want that 85mm overlap, but I might get one anyway, and use my 85mm strictly for posed Portraits, and use the 50-135mm for Candid Portraits???? What to do??? :-_

    One of my cameras is a Nikon with various lenses I love...Is this an 85mm? Can't tell, but dying to know!!!
    I also use a Sigma SD14...I love the colors it produces with its Fovean sensor...
