@ JT -- one of the best sets I have seen from you. You have got the model to connect with the camera, and these shows show the benefits.


Couldn't agree more! Well done!

M4RiO. I'm thinking a tighter crop on the second photo. I actually missed the first one, obviously half asleep. Love the B&W conversion.

John, very nice portrait on the last one except I think that's showing the limits of the 50 on FF - I feel it's a bit close and if I'm not mistaken there's maybe a touch of distortion setting in. To me her face doesn't appear quite natural in terms of shaping. I would suggest you go for the 80-200 in those circumstances and shoot at at least 80 if not longer.

Brian....if only i could have. This was done in a room measuring 6 feet x 7 feet and as you know the MFD on the 80-200 is... well lets say not good for this room size.
Im thinking of selling 4/5 lenses to put towards a 24-70cz

Hmm, well I guess under those circumstances the only choice is to back up just a touch and crop - no harm in that.

I'd say go for the 24-70 as long as one of those 4-5 lenses isn't your 80-200! There's just no substitute for longer focal lengths when it comes to shooting models, especially outdoors like you like to do.

PS: nice compo on that last one.

Colours match perfectly, but I don't know about that wall paper John; I'd prefer a monochrome background.
