Two questions - can we see the lens please? and are you allowed to say how much that cost? :)

Serious amounts of depth of field going on there. Closest I'll get is my '50', which I haven't really played with yet.

[Pickers]

Hahahaha I was expecting to see a car!
(I know its in the photography forum, but when you use "new posts" its not so evident what forum its in!)

[Kitten]

wow! *seethes*

[Jonny69]

That is a really weird effect. I don't think I like it.

[volospian]

Odd. It almost looks like it's been badly photoshopped.... or sort of 3d...

[Matblack]

First two demo shots I like, I suspect that the final one is a demonstration of the DoF but having OOF scenery in front of the subject is distracting for me.

I think it gives a really 3Dish effect. Like you're peeking through the branch at the people.

[Will]

I like that a lot :cool:

I could've bought a car with that!

That's 1.2, there's only 2 Canon lens that does 1.2 and out of all the lenses, the 85L is renowned for the bokeh, so it does seem strange at first, but it can make the subject POP like nothing else.

It does looked photoshopped, i know!

Yup, if you have things that is OOF in front of the subject, the eyes tends not to like it a lot of the times.

They are only testing shots outside the office, used it in a more enclosed area, and the POP effect is less but better than the 1.8. The greater the distance between me and the subject and the subject to background, the greater the 3D effect. It is made even more pronounced if there is a "tunnel" like a row of trees either side (i've seen it in some other photos online).

Don't recognise any of those, but most of them have red rings, so that'll be why. :)

That's 1.2, there's only 2 Canon lens that does 1.2
In case anyone is interested, the other one is the 50L.

[petemc]

You're a **** :p Just wait till I get a Noctilux 50 f/0.95 for my Leica... which will never happen as they're £3,000 :(

[IainB]

I like that a lot :cool:

Im with Will - those shots are right up my street, but then again, I like your style :)

[Jonny69]

Bad bokeh ;D

[Toby]

Have you got an ND filter for it? Might actually be necessary if you're planning on using it outside on sunny days at f/1.2 :D

[Mondo]

Lol, I shot in 50 iso today and it's cloudy and still got 1/2000th a second!

And yup, I got a cheapo ND filter, 2, 4 and 8 stops.
