BUMP with Full size totally unedited picture. It is not the best, not the worst from session with Linda, but it covers all problems of lens - focusing at 1.4, and there is extreme bright wite on totally black (the best for CA at f1.4), there is bokeh details closer and further away.

Feel free to study and discuss - if you have any kind of questions.

Press on image to see it`s full size:

Some more samples at 1.4 rather low light and "hard to get sharp samples" situations.

Both FA 85/1.4 at 1.4

Don't know about Ireland - it's wearing plates from Victoria, Australia. Bit of a drive to reach Latvia. Wonder if they're going round the world :jealous:

Back on topic, I'd love the lens but glass like that is way beyond my budget. Have a bump on me though

Ou, for sure they are from Australia! It`s even more spooky case to see on really unpopular road (Soviets made road just through the Lake. Now that Lake is National park with partly restricted status - due to bird migration route etc).

Back to topic - Fa 85mm is really demanding lens. It is producing back and front focussed images all the time. So, at 1.4 one need to shot a lot, to have just some keepers - especially for longer distances. Portraits comes out better but people at full height - it is hard task to get them sharp.

But after some months I understand much better AF, AF points, lens and shooting tecnique... Because if one pays so much for lens, then he is willing to get those damn sharp 1.4 pictures out of it. And it comes...

Bump...

I'm sure lots of us would love to own this lens, but it is serious money and times are hard. If you're not in a rush just keep bumping it to the top, someone will weaken eventually!

Kris, thanks for your encouraging words!
It really helped and I got three PM, although we were not able to agree for discount level.

So, I decided to makes som "UP" posts, adding some pictures from archives. For beginning something interesting.

Summer 2008, my child days friend just bought brand fresh superbike and wanted pics of it (till it is fresh), so we went to local tiny road, taking some pictures and so on. And then arrived strange car, seems from Ireland. Never saw nothing like this anymore or before. I studied all these country letters on car, seems they traveled at least through Eurasia.
