Bird's Eye View: Oh, you thought I meant the 85mm f/1.2L II was only good for people portraits? Noooooo...this lens creates such an incredibly clear, silky & shallow depth of field that it makes any subject look as though it's sitting in front of a fake backdrop. But be warned: focusing with this lens can be a challenge—the DoF is so ridiculously razor thin that I had to stop down just to get his beak and his eyes in focus. :)

 

Note: To clear up some confusion: I've actually owned the 85mm f/1.2L II for about 6 months now (I thought including Grandma's portrait from last Fall would convey that). C'mon now—as if I would recommend a lens without first trying it out! :)

 

Thank you all for your feedback & support! I will catch up this weekend!
