Hi guys,

Here is the latest from a new toy. 200mm 1/60th @ f2 ISO100

200m F2. Bloody hell! Is that the Nikkor Vr lens?

Nice pic, great DOF and bokeh. I would be tempted to clone out the reflections in the chrome mirror. Did you sell your 300mm to get this lens?

Andrew - beautiful selective focus, great expression, and a wonderful dreamy creamy background !!!!!! Just beautiful (I may just brighten up the whites of her eyes and teeth just a smidgeon to compete with that french manicure and white dress

)
Gorgeous !!!

Andrew, on my monitor the background looks all out of focus, probably a faulty unit. If you bought it overseas and it is too far to take it back, I will buy it off you cheap to use a boat anchor.

It's just your monitor Glen, I suggest you use that as the boat anchor.

Yeah, sold off the 300mm for the 200mm VR.

It suits me better for portraits compared to the 300mm. Also with the VR I can easily hand hold it. As it’s shorter then the 300mm, I can fill flash with a single SB800.

I’ve only have it for a few days, so given a few more weddings I’ll get to know it a bit better.

I’ll be at the Sydney meet on Saturday, so anyone coming is welcome to have a play with it.

Now, I really like the shot, the bokeh is just beautiful. How much did that set you back? Too bad I'll be at work on Saturday :cry:

Being an f2 my guess is that it would be great lens for available light photos! (hint here..... loose the flash!!!!).

Horses for courses. In this case flash was set to minus 2 stops, just enough to push the face a bit.

Andrew - what was your physical distance from the bride in this situation?
