New 85mm f/1.2.

Well, a little more to kill you by [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] I've had this lens for about a week, and I'm really starting to like it a lot. My last 200 shots were done with it. Here's one shot at f1.2, available light, 100th or so. I think someone will have to pry it from my cold dead fingers before I'll part with it.

Here is another one, but shot around f5.6 or f8

If you don't need the speed or the USM focusing, the 50 2.5 macro has zero distortion and is very sharp.

I'll second that. I have both the 50 1.4 and 50 2.5 Macro and I find myself reaching for the macro more and more when I have time to manually focus; wonderfully sharp wide open and minimal birefringence (and only then with very strong backlighting).

I'm just making enquiries about a used 85 1.2......but was wondering if Amber came with it for test shots???

[Stephen_Faust]

Yes, I'm pretty sure she does. But I think her rates and airfare would negate any savings on the used lens [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] I hate how that works!
