Here is a shot from the same shoot where i used the Pancolar 80.

ISO 50, 1/200th lens wide open. The shot has been slightly cropped in LightRoom.

This is a wonderful lens.

I have just finished this one.

I have also just realised these are not in full res, photobucket had resized them Embarassed

ISO 200, 1 200th lens wide open.

A gold reflector was used in this shot.

The best shot so far of a pretty girl IMHO and I'm sure the girl was pleased, although an excellent shot why not go for near perfection........if anything has to be sharp on a face shot it must be the eyes, also maybe a bit more light to show the colour of the eyes, maybe if the hair was let down in would have prevented the bleached out side of her neck........just nit picking.

Oh forgot.... there is some nasty blue casts on her chest and overall, the colour balance needs to be altered.

Thanks Excalibur,

It was at the end of the day, and i found i was under exposing, i have never been happy with the Sigma at anything over ISO200, they get noisy. I didn't want to slow the shutter any slower than what it was 1/200th.

I did play with the curves in Lightroom, it may have been responsible for the casts, i'll take a look.

I have just taken a look at the lightroom image, i hadn't touched tones or exposure. It was the white balance causing the casts Embarassed

Thanks for the feedback.
