Just situation

No LiveView at last - but normal shooting -- with shaved mirror - it's a joy to focus with this lens Smile

f-stops 1.2 - 1.4

WOW Shocked

All super... but #4 is a masterpiece: it feels like looking at a XVII century oil painting.

Fantastic job. The best series of portraits you made so far.
The lighting is to die for.

Agree with Orio about #4, but really like the profile shot in #2 as well.
Excellent set!

Great series. For me also #2 and #4 are among the best.

You did such a great work Trifox.
The "three quarters from above" framing is perhaps my preferred framing position for portraits, especially female.
Your photo proves what I always repeat: there is so much to learn from the ancient masters.

Quick, everyone buy those FD 85/1.2's before Google caches the pictures and the prices on eBay hit the roof as a result Laughing Laughing

Orio, indeed, it reminds me of the old Dutch masters... Shocked

Impressive and I know which lens to look out for!

Vermeer got really good depth of field, didn't he? I wonder what lens he was using. Laughing

You may not be far off from the truth. Actually many art experts are conviced that Vermeer used a Camera Obscura for some of his paintings. Look at the perfect perspective in his painting "De Muziekles" (Music Lesson):

It would be quite sure that Vermeer knew something about optics. Do you know Antoni van Leeuwenhoek, who perfected the microscope? Vermeer made two portraits of him, including this one:

Of course, we'll never know 400 years later, but I think he would have been a proud member of the MFlenses forum Very Happy
