The 85mm f/1.4 (and 105mm f/1. AIS Nikkors are my far and away favorite portraiture lenses. If I have room outdoors, I will often shoot with my 180mm f/2.8 or 200mm f/2 ED IF AIS Nikkors, though the latter requires at least a monopod. It is a BEAST of a lens.
In this image it was the perfect choice. I actually had to knock the sharpness down a little bit in Photoshop.

Congrats for a greatly composed and well BW converted image, NikonAIS!
That's an interesting point about the appropriate sharpness when shooting nudity and intimate body parts which is not often discussed, as compared to a rich discussion on conventional portrait sharpness. You practically follow the same portrait scheme: soften the skin equally in this case, right? |
