Just when I thought I couldn’t love a lens more (the 50mm 1.2 L), I rented the 85mm 1.2 L and tried it out this weekend. (insert sound of jaw dropping and hitting floor here). Wow. The creaminess of the bokeh is so delicious I just want to sop it all up and devour it. The sugar? Well, that’s my sweet little model I have the pleasure of photographing every year. She is growing up before our eyes and just gets more and more beautiful each time I see her. Needless to say, it’ll be hard to let this rental go but I will be buying it asap. I hope the 50 doesn’t get too jealous. 😉 Lovin’ the rainbow sunflare on the last shot and, nope, it wasn’t photoshopped in. There was very, very little done to these images other than converting to b&w and a minimal antique effect on the last. Hope you had a great weekend!! xo
