My first chance to really use this lens properly, its a bit soft wide open unfortunately, but very sharp stopped down (though to be fair, any lens at f8-f11 is going to be sharp!)

[alexthekid]

Excellent results. Crispy images and great use of light. Natural or studio setup?

[Sirrith]

Thanks! The setup was-

1st shot:
Shoot thru umbrella picture top right corner
Strip box bottom left to balance out shadows a bit

2nd shot:
Strip box bottom right of frame

Both had a little bit of natural light diffused through a white curtain as well.

[Nisseliten]

Excellent, especially love #2. getting beautiful light from strobes and a softbox is easy, getting beautiful natural looking light takes skill, and you pulled it off perfectly.

Looks very tasty!

[Sirrith]

Thanks Nisseliten, to be fair, most of the light was artificial... The natural light provided a bit of fill.

Minolfan, they were!

Thank you

I'm starting to quite like this lens for food photography! Having virtually no MFD limitation is very nice.
