Easter Portraits with the 85/1.8Well, I'm not at all religious, but it is always nice to see the family and use them as test subjects for a new toy. All shot pretty much wide open with available light. C&C appreciated.

Wow, I knew it was a great lens, but that is impressive at ISO 1600. What did you do to get rid of the noise or did you work out a way of attaching the 85/1.8 to a Canon? Cheers John D3, D300, 14-24/2.8, 24-70/2.8, 85/1.4, 80-400VR, 18-200VR, 105/2.8 VR macro, Sigma 150/2.8 macro

Re: Easter Portraits with the 85/1.8
Haha. ![]() John, I would say the grain is fairly visible, but to my eye that does not diminish them. Converting to black and white helps with colour noise issues, and for the colour ones I did a little noise reduction in Camera Raw, but that's it. There are a couple of other shots in my gallery where I did not get the exposure right and I had to lift it in Camera Raw - this is when grain/noise really starts to detract from the shots, I think. The difference between those ones and these is quite noticable. Edit: Plus, this lens is so sharp (when you get the focus right in such a narrow DOF) that you hardly need to do any sharpening in PP. That always helps. Cheers,
