I really like the bokeh and sharpness. Looks like a great lens.
Thanks for posting it, Kurt. Have you played around with this lens on video mode? I'm contemplating on getting either this or Canon 50mm f1.4 next - they're similarly-priced but if I'm getting into event videography (weddings etc), wondering which one will be better for practical usage. I currently own Canon 17-55mm f2.8, also another wonderful lens. |
You're right Kurt, this lens is fabulous. I have had mine for a few months now and love it to bits. After the 70-200 2.8L IS lens, this is my favourite both on the 7D and the 5D2

Any lens that long really needs a tripod. I can hand hold up to about 50mm pretty steady with my Cavision rig, but a tripod is better for anything longer than about 35mm.
|
I've been thinking about this lens over the 50mm 1.4 right now. Would using it on a monopod be steady enough? I'm looking for something faster than and longer than my 17-55 2.8.
|
I doubt you could use a monopod with the 85mm and not see a lot of shakes. I have pretty steady hands, but the 50mm is too shaky except on a tripod. Of course it depends on the subject. If there's a lot of movement in the scene, you might get away with it, but only if you are a zen master.

love this lens too...wouldn't be keen to go handheld with it though.
